Does anyone have a recommendation for a gas or electric powered tow bar?

I haven't used it, but there is a tow bar powered by a Dewalt drill, at least then you have a good drill and I assume if you already own the drill, you don't have to purchase two?

My father has that one..it only accepts certain models of drills.

Well, I hate to bash so I'll be a fair as possible. I don't like it. With it's "training wheels," I find it's very hard to maneuver. Dad has burned up one drill already using it. One would think that by using the trigger on the drill that you could "finesse it" into place/starting/stopping, but you can't. At least I can't. The gear reduction is such that even fine movements of the drill's trigger results in a jerking motion. That also relates to abrupt starts and stops. Which is why most powered tow bars use some type of clutch. I would not recommend it.
