Review on 🔗 Reese Towpower 7011300: Premium Stainless Steel Interlock 2" Hitch Ball- Heavy-duty Towing Accessory by Tom Tofte

I read many Revain reviews before purchasing this clutch ball. Many reviews have criticized this clutch ball for being rusty. Touch a stainless steel hitch ball with a magnet and it will stick. The stainless steel used to make these balls is cosmetic grade, which makes the ball look nice but doesn't necessarily protect it from rust. In order for the steel to retain its strength and beauty, it is made from 400 series stainless steel, which is low in chromium and zero in nickel. The addition of nickel helps make the bullet rust resistant, but it also softens the bullet and the bullet will bang, scratch, and dent. The ball I received is beautiful with an almost perfect finish. To save the ball. I take it off the truck receiver when I'm not towing anything. Even if a hitch wears down a shiny surface, cosmetic stainless steel shouldn't rust if stored dry. I have used the ball to tow our pontoon and am very happy with its performance. If I keep it dry on a shelf in my garage when I'm not lugging anything it should stay rust free for a long time.
