I've use a 18V Dewalt a few times to raise/lower the roof, BUT before cranking with the drill, I turn it manually to make sure the bolt is free using the drill. And I make sure to keep that bolt heavily greased as recommended by the manufacture.
And yea, cranking by hand is a long process; using the drill is a lot longer than using the winch motor.
