Why Would Power Drill Not Want to Work To Raise/Lower Scissor Jacks on Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a power drill adapter that fits my scissors jack. But the power drill doesnt appear to have enough power to do it? What am I doing wrong? Do I need a more powerful drill or something?

If the scissor jacks are easily raised/lowered with the manual crank but the drill adapter doesn't seem to be strong enough I'd say the first thing to try is charging the drill if it's a battery operated drill. If that does not allow it to crank you'd next want to try a more powerful drill.
