Review on πŸ”’ Reese Towpower 7030200 Professional 5/8" Stainless Steel DogBone Style Receiver Lock: Secure and Durable Lock for Ultimate Trailer Protection! by Chris Durandis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as expected - reliable and works well

Update 09/07/21: 15 months on the truck with no problems; it still locks and unlocks like new. Note. I put a drop of grease or liquid film on the ball bearings and wipe off the excess every time I take the pin out - maybe 4 times in the last year or so. A little preventative maintenance will stop the corrosion that occurs if you just leave it to the weather (see negative reviews). Likes: unreliable waffle lock, like 99% of other products (including the replacement product), safe ball, a bearing locking mechanism instead of a small diameter groove that breaks off with little force (look for a video on this). I read all the negative reviews before buying and the only constant problem seems to be ball bearing rust. The first thing I did was spray some water displacing silicone grease on the ball and spring part and lubricate the o-ring with a small amount of milkweed to improve water resistance. Time will tell if it holds up, but I won't be leaving for a while. year and expect it to open in the spring. Ball bearings that are left outside without lubrication and without a protective film will rust.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to say
