Where can you buy an extension piece to use with a cordless drill for raising and lowering the steadies?

if you can weld or have a friend that can weld. weld a socket on to a 12 inch bit of round bar that will do it ........
I've used an electric drill for a few years now with just a short shaft to the socket.
Do these longer shafts give greater torque and thus make it easier for the drill?

I use mine in conjunction with short lengths of plastic domesti waste to guide the drill and avoid bending down or kneeling!
I have cut several inches off the shaft to make it easier to use and so that it fits in the drill box for storage.
Haven't noticed ant difference in torque

I made my first one by sawing off an old leg/steady winder and then got the latest from a car boot
Hi Watson JohnG. Do you have a length of waste pipe permanently placed on each steady or just one piece moved from corner to corner? Either way I'm going for it. And why is it that when you HAVE to kneel for a steady there is always, on otherwise dry ground, a puddle?
One on each steady with a nylon tie round the top of the U shape wall bracket to hold the pipe tight
No expense spared
On the latest Bailey the heavy duty steady has a collar that is exactly the same size as the internal diameter of the plastic pipe and this with the bracket makes it quite firm with 2 1/2in screws into the van wooden floor
I only use one bracket per pipe to give some flexibility in case of contact going on/off ferries etc
