Battery tools to raise and lower jacks/stabilizers has never been a issue in the 61 years I've been camping.
Guess I'm not camping in the right camp grounds to hear all the noisy annoying battery operated tools running early in a morning.
Noise bothering someone in a camp ground from a battery powered impact tool on a scale from 1 to 10 is about a 1..... maybe...JMO.

Well
Considering they didn’t have battery impacts when you started and only in the last 20 years or so has the average person had them. I don’t think your “1” on your 1-10 scale is accurate. They are far more annoying than that. Now put one in the hand of everyone around you and it becomes ridiculous. Just use a battery drill. Far quieter and everyone is happy!

Please use a cordless drill! I have a hand held impact cordless drill. Ryobi.
Has 3 settings. Clutch for torque limit on a screw, locked for wood/metal drilling, and impact for drilling in concrete.
Never seemed that load actually.
Now if you are talking a half-in drive 300+ ft-lb impact only gun to remove wheel lugs those are a bit louder. I have a Craftsman model. I would not bring this heavy tool camping. Yes it is a bit louder but would probably lift the RV off the ground before the noise was noticed.
I still prefer the hand crank for the stabilizers and the drill stays at home.

Please use a cordless drill! This attitude is why I do not use campgrounds. Cram a bunch of people together with no elbow room, and someone will have an issue about something with another.
I hate camping around people.... I have to put up with their BS in the city... I will NOT do it when camping. If I can see another camper, they are too close.

![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif "scratchead") A true story:
My brother was on a scouting trip and needed a quick throwdown camp for the night. He drove off the highway on a dirt road across a sagebrush flat a few miles and was having dinner when a car appeared on the horizon. it got closer and closer, stopping about 50 feet away, and the fella started setting up camp. My brother walked over to him wearing his sidearm, and told him "If I wanted neighbors, I would not have camped here". The fella left in a hurry.
The point is, that if you want to camp near others... You gotta understand that someone will annoy you....Just as you are sure to annoy someone as well.

I converted my Rigid impact driver to a gas powered tool using a 2 stroke weed eater motor. The battery version was just too slow. Apparently it's pretty popular as I usually get the one finger salute when leaving.
