What happens here

With the Trailer Gearbox securely attached, insert the drive bit of a standard cordless drill into the input shaft of the gearbox. Activate the drill to begin turning the landing gear. The gear reduction provided by the Trailer Gearbox allows the drill to easily raise or lower the heavy trailer, as demonstrated by the landing gear extending downwards with minimal effort from the drill.

Goal: Raise or lower trailer landing gear using a cordless drill.

Tools and materials
