which stabilizer crank for a 17A

My '00 Kiwi 17A has BAL stabilizers but the previous owner didn't include the crank for them. There seem to be a lot of BAL models that look very similar. I don't see a model number on the jacks, just the BAL logo. Does anyone know the specific BAL model number?

I think all of them are 3/4", this is what I purchased to fit a cordless drill, makes it fast and easy. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Levelin...+drill+adapter

This is a hand crank. Sometimes needed if your leveler sticks, rusts, etc.

I use this one, similar to the one above

Camco RV Leveling Scissor Jack Socket Drill Adapter With 1/4" Quick Connect Shank, Works With All 3/4" Hex Drive Jacks

Remember, the stabilizers are for stabilizing , not lifting or leveling your trailer.

I bought a cheapo Harbor Freight cordless. Good for several up and downs per charge.

Be careful, none of the ones above would work on mine. Can you post an image of what the "bolt" looks like.

My 2012, requires a slotted shaft, something that ike this. The threaded rod, has a couple tabs that the slots on the wrench slip over.

My 2001 17A uses that one. I got lucky when I bought the trailer and there were two. I saved one for a hand crank and cut the other for my cordless drill.

Sorry, should have posted a picture first. It is the slotted style. But there are a number of them available. Maybe any of them would work?

Thread revival! I have exactly the same jacks shown in the picture and the PO told me he used an 18mm socket which is what I have used. Mostly. Unfortunately the tabs are getting rounded off because the jacks are rusty like yours. I would like to buy a tool to just leave in the camper for this reason. Any suggestions?

Thank you Roger. I'll give one of those a try. I wish I could find one for an impact driver instead of a drill but either way, it'll be better than what I'm doing now.
