Looks good, easy to use, poor lock durability

Lock failed after 11 months, cannot be removed with key. Always used a dust cap, ended up having to cut the lock off. The stainless steel fits the stylus well, the locking mechanism is very poorly designed.

Pros
  • 5/8" dog bone lock fits 2-1/2" square Class V receiver
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Good pin Terrible lock

Pin length is ideal for a 3 inch clutch. Overall quality seems good, but the locking mechanism is questionable at best. I've tried unlocking it 5-6 times since I bought it and each time it's getting harder to unlock. Now I don't believe in it and I don't want the cutter to burst into flames.

Pros
  • Grade V stainless steel lock components are strong yet attractive - strength doesn't have to be ugly
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Difficult to Open - Tow and Winch Accessory

Looks solid, lock is easy to insert. However, unlocking it is a chore. You have to fiddle with the key before it opens. You have to turn the key back and forth several (many) times; When you're about to give up, it suddenly clicks and opens. I didn't understand if there is a specific sequence or movement that triggers the blockage. Very frustrating.

Pros
  • Ball Bearing Latch Mechanism; Dust cap protects lock mechanism from inclement weather
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
