Hey Anthony! The difference comes down to the limitations of using a cordless drill compared to the manual crank. The Trailer Valet JX # TV35FR can lift 1,800 lbs manually, but drill operation is limited to 900 lbs to help prevent excessive strain on the drill and jack.

Trailer Valet recommends a 20-24V cordless drill with the torque setting kept as low as possible while still lifting your trailer. They also advise against using impact drivers since they can significantly reduce the life of the jack.

What kind of trailer are you planning to use it on?
