1. A trailer landing gear drive shaft rotating device comprising:
a rod;
a first coupler attached to a first end of the rod and being configured for selectively coupling to a drive shaft of a trailer landing gear assembly, such that the rod is reversibly pivotal between a stowed configuration, wherein the rod hangs from the drive shaft, to an interim configuration, wherein the rod is substantially colinear with and slidable relative to the drive shaft;
a first recess extending into the first end of the rod, wherein the first recess is configured for selective insertion of a terminal segment of the drive shaft, such that the rod is selectively slidable from the interim configuration to an operable configuration, wherein the terminal segment of the drive shaft has been inserted into the first recess; and
a second coupler attached to a second end of the rod and being configured for selectively coupling to a rotary tool, wherein the rod is configured for transferring a rotary force from the rotary tool to the drive shaft for selectively raising and lowering one or more legs of the trailer landing gear assembly.
