Apparatus for actuating a trailer jack having a carrier shaft or drive shaft with an exposed end portion includes an adapter that is connectable to the end portion of the carrier shaft or drive shaft in driving relationship and a drive member that is connectable to the adapter in driving relationship. A driving member such as a drill chuck of an electric drill can be connected to the drive member. The connection between the adapter and the drive member preferably is made by specially shaped members that cannot easily be engaged or operated by commonly available tools. The apparatus can be provided on an OEM basis or it can be provided as an aftermarket modification to existing jacks. A crank can be provided to permit manual actuation of the jack in the event that an electric drill is not available or is inoperable.
