Where to find jack drill adapter

FlowerPower · 11-03-2018, 05:15 PM

What works on a TM (or at least my 2009)? The ones I've seen online are hex-shaped, which won't work.

thx

If the hex head socket doesn't work, people have made a J-hook adapter they use with a drill. I have a hex head jack and have a 10" extension on my 18 volt cordless drill that I use. I believe Amazon sells the J-hook adapters

There's this style. It fits my 2002 jacks. An allen wrench works too.

I just bought a lag bolt with an L head at Home Depot and ground some flats to fit my drill.

I bought mine after I bought my TM 2005 2720 SD in Oct. 2015 & in 2016 I went to a RV repair & parts place & I think I paid $5.00 for it- it's a J hook---it works great with my drill & every trip I get the stabilizers up & down with no problem every camping trip this year I camp 39 nights & worked fine------the J hook is made of Zinc it is solid--I checked where I bought mine in Denver, Co. & there ($6.99) now----Recreational Vehicle Accessories Family owned since 1965

I simply picked up a 1/4" or 3/8" Allen wrench for a couple bucks at a hardware store. Since I didn't have a grinder at the time, the existing hex shape of the wrench was important to me. People worry that the hex shape will mar the edges of the hole in the jack, but I'm not sure why that matters. It is not a precision-made hole, and aside from the hand crank, nothing else will ever be used on it.

Thanks for the info, had no clue there was such a thing when the searches I did brought up only hex adapters.

Off to the RV place to get a J-hook adapter!

Although I may check my tool box for an extra allen wrench, probably have an extra one somewhere.

Ditto, and I use a quick-release on my drill so I can switch between two different things for disconnect/leveling. The "L" shaped allen wrench (1/4") fits and works just fine for this purpose.

We got ours at Home Depot.
Could you help me. I paid my membership fee and yet they have me locked out of areas. I don't know who to contact. We just purchased a 3023 2008 model. We need help and information

I don't know if this counts as help but a couple others have posted about membership issues in this thread.
