Good call on getting the Normal 1/2” drill non impact. The impacts kill those screw jacks

Yeah. I ended return my original purchase Ryobi as it wasn't powerful enough and ended up purchasing a Dewalt DW130V. 9 amps and super powerful. Lifts the sled with ease. Thanks for watching MPJohnny.

Mines about 10yrs old and it gets used all the time. Great investment. If buying a corded drill to lift it spend the extra and get a 1/2” over the 3/8” for the extra power.

For anyone looking for a lift a guy out of Wisconsin builds a USA made lift. His company is called Ground up lifts. I had an excellent experience with him. My original lift I ordered came in with the powder coat all beat up and scratched from being absolutely manhandled by UPS. I contacted him, let him know what happened and he said he would contact me after trying to get a hold of UPS. A couple days went by and all I was expecting was to maybe get some money off the original lift purchase. He wound up sending me another lift free of charge and let me keep the original one that was all beat up. I had to buy another wheel set and jack for it so I would have two functioning lifts but I didn't care. Amazing customer service and dont hesitate to give him a call if looking to buy a lift.

Yes. I have a 3/8" drive Ryobi impact but I didn't want all of that vibration on the jack everytime I use it. I ended up getting a Ryobi 1/2" Chuck, 5/8" VSR Hammer drill / drill with a 6.2 amp motor. Should work well for this application. Thanks for watching Dave.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying that. It makes sense now that you mentioned it. I'll hit that with my gease gun next time I use. I ended up getting a heavy duty Ryobi plug in drill that is going to work well for this lift. Thanks for the comment and for watching Upracefan.

Nice lift Paiste !! You’ll love having that lift to work on your sled.👍🏼 I have the Extreme Max Pro Series Aluminum lift and I leave the Ole Cat sitting up on it when I’m not riding it. If you’re going to use a drill to raise the lift you’ll need something really heavy duty like a (DEWALT 1/2-in Corded Drill Model #DW130V). Lowe’s has them or Amazon. That’s what I use to raise and lower the T-cat and it’s definitely heavier than your sled. I originally used it for mixing drywall mud and if you’ve ever done that it takes a strong drill to mix drywall mud. You’ll definitely need a corded drill strong enough so it won’t burn out after two times of use lifting your sled. Take Care and THINK SNOW ❄.

Thanks Greg. I bought a drill at Home Depot tonight. It's 1/2", 5/8" VSR hammer drill and 6.2 amp motor. Ryobi. 750 watts. The Dewalt was about 50 bucks more that's why I got the Ryobi. Sounds like it should be good right? ❄❄❄

@@Paisteboy Hey Paiste.. Have you tried the Ryobi yet to lift your sled? As long as it doesn’t sound like it’s straining a lot or getting really hot or smoking you should be good. 😁 I needed a heavy heavy duty drill as my T-cat is a heavy boy 😂 HAPPY NEW YEAR BUDDY !!
