Can the Trailer Valet 5X # STC-V211 Handle a Trailer with 500 lbs Tongue Weight
Question:
Also can I hook up a drill or something that I can keep from cranking it by hand to move it

Expert Reply:
Technically if your trailer has a tongue weight (TW) of 500 lbs then it falls into the 500 lb max TW rating of the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211. The only problem that I see is that you are at the max capacity of this jack and you typically want some cushion so that you aren't straining the product. It will wear down much quicker and it will really be pushing the brake.
I recommend going with the ball mount version of this jack which comes with a 2" ball # TVXL2 or 2-5/16" ball # TVXL25 and can handle up to 1,000 lb of TW.
I have attached some review videos for you to check out.
