Like Roger, I think a cordless drill is a great idea. My suggestion is to get an 18-volt (or more) drill, since in my experience smaller ones tend to bog down. You will also want a charger to go with it, since a dead battery on a cordless drill makes it pretty useless. As for the wrench? My suggestion is to get a 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch Allen wrench for a buck at the hardware store. Chuck the long end in the drill and hook the short end through the hole in the jack to turn it. Yes, an Allen wrench has sharp edges that tend to wear at the hole in the jack, but the hole serves no other purpose, and it doesn't matter if its size or shape is perfectly preserved.
