    don't use a drill.

    go get yourself a Ryobi one plus impact driver far more manly for the job. similar to the one they use when you change your tyres.

    they have a 1/2 inch square drive so sockets fit more securely than a drill and its a much more robust solution, drills can be quite flimsy with big sockets and long extension bars, their chucks don't always last on high torque loads.

    Battery will last longer too.

    And when you get a flat tyre you can whip the wheel nuts off real quick and easy...

    not forgetting the torque wrench though.

    corner steadies do not require high torque. My drill will happily cope with a dozen set ups (and more) which is plenty - especially as I also have a spare battery.

    I have however seen several instances this year of folk straining on leg winder to level the caravan or using drill without a torque setting to achieve this foot-in-mouth

    You may be able to use your winder, however there are a good few disabled caravaners out there!

    But if you are disabled like me and cannot use a winder, a drill is essental.

    And you get a bit of exercise thrown in for free.

    Not everyone is as able as you, JohnM! Winding corner steadies is one reason we changed to a MH.

    I can still use a winder but I find it very enjoyable using a drill.
