Electric Jack Recommendation for an A-Frame Trailer that weighs 10,000 lbs
Question:
Does anyone male a 5000 lb. A-Frame jack with a handle that comes off and on easily so I can drive it with my battery operated impact wrench. I keep one in me 10.000 lb cargo trailer for wheel removal and stabilizer jacks.

We don't have exactly what you are looking for, but it sounds like you would rather have a powered jack like the part # SC63VR. The only thing is this is a 4,500 lb jack, meaning that it can lift a tongue weight of 4,500 lbs which in most cases is way more than what a-frame trailers will have. Your 10,000 lb trailer would most likely have a tongue weight of 1,000-1,500 lbs.
I think the best value for an A-frame tongue jack is the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR which is rated for 4500 pounds of tongue weight. This is 1000 pounds more than other models, and even though you may not need this much capacity, you will find that the jack motor runs quick and effortlessly. This will add years to its life. This jack also has a unique clutch that prevents damage from overextending or retracting the jack foot - the most common reason for jack failure. I also like that is has a generous 23" lift, including a time-saving drop-foot. It includes LED lights for operating the hitch in the dark, and a built-in bullseye leveling bubble.
I attached a review video for this jack as well.
