Easier to use.: Hitch Locks

I love the fact that this model has easy open and close "clips" instead of rubber pieces that you slide up and down on the hook to secure and release.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Nothing here

Works great best in hitch locks

I already had a few of these but driving at a certain angle the hitch caught on the pavement breaking the hitch and drawbar. I bought a roller to absorb these shocks and it works great. They are meant to replace chewed cables.

Pros
  • best in its niche
Cons
  • boring package

I upgraded my 4 wheel hauler with a couple of these.

The best choice! The mounting clips are much better than the rubber mounts I had. I know this is overkill but it seems it now takes 5 minutes less to connect the machine. But it really looks like it!

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are problems

Great rest with them.

Excellent replacement for my 16 year old original cables, even on salty roads and mud. They are easier to put on and take off than the old ones and the hardware seems to be of good quality. Not cheap but worth the rest. Cheap gear and discount parachutes are not a good investment.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Durability

they actually work better because they don't get stuck in between.

This is a replacement kit. They are about 6 inches shorter when stretched and have a smaller spool than the original set so I was suspicious of them at first. However, they actually work better because they don't get stuck between the hitch and the road.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Ok

A bit pricey but good quality

These cables are essential for towing a boat. I was thinking of a cheaper alternative but wanted a branded guarantee. These cables are very well made and stretch slightly to accommodate my setup which includes an adapter. I have no doubt that they will do the job if they are really needed.

Pros
  • Towing and Winch Accessories
Cons
  • Secret

Easy handling of towing equipment and winches

Our 10,000lb Blue-Ox tether straps suffered damage after being pinched between a steep road and the ground. I immediately ordered this set and sent it to the nearest campsite where we stayed. I love how convenient these cables are; The £10,000 cords were a little bulky and I honestly didn't need the capacity for our £3,600 Toad.

Pros
  • Tow hitch locks
Cons
  • Fits

The easiest security connection to use I've found.

These tow ropes are the easiest to use secure tow-to-tow connection I've found. There are two versions. The one in the photo weighs 7,000 pounds or less and is a heavier version with metal mounts instead of rubber if that's what you prefer. What makes them easy to use is that they are permanently twisted so they don't leave the ground. I used zip ties to cross the cables under the hitch so their ends were next to the ends of the drawbar. When I connect the tow bar to the vehicle to be towed…

Pros
  • Tow Bar Accessory
Cons
  • Low Repairability
