Tool for lowering stabilizer legs

PeterTAB

Hi, I have a 2017 TAB 320 and it came with a wonderful hand crank thing for lowering the four stabilizer legs of the trailer. Alas I have forgotten it at home and am 6 hours away at a campground.

If I were to swing by a Walmart, what tool would I want to pick up to lower and raise the stabilizer legs? I tried a socket wrench with various size sockets and the don't work.

Thanks!

You need one like that, maybe available at Walmart, make sure it's the slotted type like the one shown here: https://www.walmart.com/ip/BAL-21100003-Slotted-Cordless-Drill-Adapter-for-Stabilizing-Jacks/50313957?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0

If this tool is not in stock, there are a couple of approaches that come to mind.
1. Pick up a vice grips and wrap a bit of cloth under jaws to limit damage to leveler.
2.  A lumber store would sell EMT conduit and hacksaw, slot each end to accept leveler and screwdriver shank as turning device. 
3.  We often forego levelers if sleeping hitched up to truck on enroute stays.
Good luck.

Vice grips did the trick! Thanks folks!

FWIW, earlier this year we loaned a pair of Vice Grips to another camper in a situation similar to yours.

Its a 19mm bolt head. A 19mm socket will operate it. I have to use same in my driveway where I don't have room for the long handled doohickey that came with the camper.

The 19mm bolt head version came out later.  Our 2019 has it, but our 2016 had the version shown in the original post.
