Review on πŸ”’ Reese Towpower 7030300 Pro Chrome DogBone Receiver Lock - 5/8 Inch by Peter Tennant

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DO NOT BUY! Stuck on the car after 3 months; I had to drill and cut.

Worst clutch lock. This lock works by inserting a lock side guide pin into the passive side core which pushes out a ball bearing and locks the lock side in place. This concept may be good in practice, but it is useless wherever rust can occur, which is anywhere on earth. After only 3 months, the ball bearings had rusted and frozen, preventing the lock from being dismantled. This eventually resulted in the lock having to be drilled and cut. something that shouldn't be necessary. Although I've been through quite a few clutch locks over the years, replacing them due to rust has never affected the function of other locks I've used. I return to the Trimax lock, which looks rusty but never loses its function.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
