My version of an idea that I have seen and wanted to try, for a powered trailer jack.

I love how that little leg comes down and folds up. Those Ridgid tools are built to last! Nicely done!

Bought a jack that LOOKED the same but discovered I had to improvise as it turns out you cant reverse this one. A little re-engineering and its working beautifully now. Thanks for the great idea.

Well done! I could see you putting together a little package of everything you used and sell it as a DIY kit. Some people don't have easy access to hardware store etc. I would think $25 shipped would be worth it for people to not have to drive to hardware store and rummage through bolt bins etc, and leave enough profit to make it worth your time. Also instead of adding a socket to the handle how about using a tap/die add threads to the handle and put a spacer in between the long nut and the body of the jack which would give you more threads inside the long nut to screw handle into then drill and pin it with a quick pull pin or a jamb nut.

It was pretty easy, and I only used basic tools.

Very nice I like that. I never seen that Jack foot before. I had to switch out my Jack I ended up getting the ultimate Jack cause it comes flush to the A frame

I like that. I’m surprised a drill is strong enough but that’s a good thing so you don’t have to add stress to the gears with an impact. I was thinking of doing something like that for the jack I use for raising my mowers to clean under the deck between jobs. I don’t scraped my decks as often as I should because of how long it takes to raise and lower them.

Where did you get that jack extension foot? What kind is it? I must do this on my cargo trailer conversion. This old man can't handle cranking anymore and I don't have room for an electric jack. Great video.

Perfect idea, have you found the bolt tightened down on itself or loosened when operating?
