This disclosure teaches a device and a system having a gear reduction ratio for use with power tools to mechanically connect to drive shafts of trailer jacks. The device enables the power tools to extend or retract the legs of the trailer jacks in an efficient and easy manner. The device may be installed or retrofitted to existing high capacity trailers or integrated with newly manufactured trailers. In some embodiments, the device has a first interface, a gear train or an equivalent torque magnification mechanism, and a second interface. The first interface enables a power tool or a hand tool to rotationally engage the gear train. The second interface enables the output torque from the gear train to apply to rotate a shaft to raise and/or lower one or more trailer jacks. A power drill can thus couple with the first interface to lift or lower the trailer.
