We use the speaker stand when we have 2 kayaks on top. It along with 4 40# struts works great. It's a hassle to find a home after it's up but it just goes outside. 

I'm real curious how to wire my old cordless drill to plug into the cigarette lighter power port. Any help would be nice on that

I just bought the On Stage Power Crank-up SS8800B+ speaker stand from Amazon. It arrived with a torn box and no instructions inside. Most concerning is that every 6" while cranking or using the drill it has a momentary place of resistance. It might be getting slightly better each up/down but don't want to take the legs off until I'm sure it is not defective. Anyone else experienced these places of resistance or had directions missing?...... Thanks. 

and after reading several replies I sent it back for an exchange and Amazon is sending me a new one. I think I dodged a bullet with a defective unit.

Rob, I don’t recall instructions either, but it’s been many years since I purchased. The resistance would be a concern, sounds like a rough spot on a gear.

We also bought one of these recently. No instructions (other than what was printed on the box), but ours is very smooth when raising or lowering with either a drill or the hand crank. Given how expensive it is, I would probably consider returning it for an exchange.

It should be smooth all the way up and down.

Have used this type of speaker stand for years on our Ocelot with boats, rocket box, etc. on top. no problem with the hand crank. I did put an extra piece of plywood over the push panels that were already in place but not sure if that was really needed. rides in the camper and then just goes up front when camping.
