I ran a search on "stabilizer" and came up with nothing so here goes. Is a drill or impact driver preferred for running sbailizer jack up and down, and for any particular reasons?
Some background, I used to run a satellite transmission truck built on a Sprinter chassis and it had two scissor style stabilizer jacks (without which a strong wind could rock the van enough to lose working signals), and I used an impact to drive those jacks. I never had any issues and used them far more frequently then I intend to use my TT in first the year or so, but also I didn't bear the financial responsibility for maintenance of that vehicle. This question arises as I am shopping for my Day 1 gear and am trying to decide which drill brand I want to try to the TT. I have Hitachi in the garage, but am not really into the changes wince they changed to Metabo. I see the TT as a relatively harmless platform to 'audition' a new tool brand to see if I want to move for full tool replacement in the future.
