A fairly small dual speed drill with variable torque cut out, worked very well for the last two years we had the van. It was from the Aldi brand of tools, bought as a Thursday special, when we just went in for coffee.😂 It was about £22 and I have seen them in Aldi several times since. Came with a lithium battery and charger. The charge easily did 10 or more cycles. Now just gets used for small drilling jobs and as a powered screw driver.

Posted on 14/09/2019 09:20 by footlooservAny recommendations on a battery driven drill with a socket for winding the steady legs up and down?
Thanks

I did once get a Bosch one but that soon went wrong then I concluded it had been just addition clutter and a weight we were carrying, where we had a perfectly adequate handle provided with the van.
It was always the getting up from bending down that was the real challenge, not the winding itself, therefore, using a drill does not relieve that bit of the task. So one bit less clutter and weight carried done away with these days.

I find much less 'getting up and down' with a drill and far easier for me. I carry drill and two fully charged higher capacity batteries. Use drill for engaging and disengaging mover. Will get me off home base and back on return plus 8 site set up and take downs on one battery. Never carry the charger.
