Mine uses a 22MM socket just fine. It's just a cheapie scissor jack from Scamazon. The instructions say not to use power tools to raise it anyway so the slightly loose fit just helps me put the socket on.

One could probably get away with a non-impact wrench or drill, but given the stakes involved I don't tempt fate. Takes less than a minute with a hand ratchet anyway, and better descent control.

Could be, it's an old thread from 2011. But I'm from the future
