The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly part # TVXL25 does not come with a drill bit # TVDA to move the trailer valet easier than before but the speed of the movement depends on the weight of your trailer and the environment as well as your drill. It works best on flat smooth pavement so the trailer can be moved easier and faster that way.

However, the Trailer Valet XL does move the trailer up a 10% incline or 5.7 degree angle as confirmed by Trailer Valet. It does not work as well on gravel or muddy grass on an incline. If you let go of the handle the internal braking system of the trailer valet engages it does not use the trailer's brakes to stop the trailer.
