Like the “power jack” idea!

That said, I have a DeWalt that eats batteries or the batteries are just junk.
A week after fully charging, the batteries are fully dead...just sitting on the bench.
Just simply cut the offset portion off the jack handle so you end up with a hexagon piece of hollow metal with the factory hook that engages into the jack. Chuck the right size socket with an adapter for your chuck that fits the hex shape into your drill and go to town!

Just make sure you use a an actual automotive scissor "jack" and not a "leveling" jack that's made for RV's as those are not strong enough...
