Title: Hand cranking
Post by: my toys on Feb 04, 2007, 08:43 AM
What is a socket jenie?  I was going to buy an extra hand crank and cut it off to fit in a cordless drill.  Is this an item I can buy?

Check out my Raise the Roof! Web Page (http://www.popupcamping.info/EasyLift.htm)

Ther design of the Socket Genies has been changes so that it only works on the roof, not the crank down stabilizers.  I understand that folks were running the stabs back up full speed on the drill and cracking the Genies when it bottomed out against the trailer frame.

Please be sure you have an adequately powered drill to use with the Socket Genie.  Hard-head's (other half) drill started smoking mid-roof raise, and we hand cranked after that.  (It's not like the instructions didn't tell him!)
