Winding caravan steady legs

 Always carry the drill,in its carry box with batts and charger,why use home electric to charge them

Ours has a lithium battery which is much lighter than the old type filled with AA batteries and the lithium charger is very small. Keep an eye on those German stores they have them in there sometimes

I bought a small 18v drill from Aldi about two years ago for about £25 - lives in a soft case knicked from an old drill which has a slot to keep the extension socket in. Works well and at least I don’t have to bend down for as long as I would have to if I was using the manual ‘winder’🙁

There’s no charging capability on no EHU sites. Judging by their numbers, there are plenty of us who prefer unregimented off EHU sites.

We carry an 18v battery driven drill.

It’s used for winding the corner steadies.

Screwing in pegs.

Any drilling required.

Driving a food whisk.

At home for DIY.

It’s a Makita model, popular amongst tradesmen for their reliability. But not cheap.

Just make life easy.  Any make has got to be better than a handle.

We use the handle provided with the caravan. Less weight, no extra cost and less to go wrong.

One issue I find with using drills is noise depending how the torque is set. Some sound like a machine gun

The "noise" you will hear is when IMHO some use the hammer function  on their drills when its not required

Some sound like a machine gun

It depends how they are used. Some folk give it full trigger and go. What I do is to make use of the variable speed available from the drill trigger. I start off with little trigger pressure, increase to wind most of the way speedily and then reduce the trigger pressure and hence drill speed over the last few inches of lowering or raising legs. When the drill reaches torque I probably get 3 or 4 clicks at a slow speed.
