Just didn't quite fit my hitch

Definitely strong, reliable, with a nice finish. The holes didn't line up easily enough to insert the pin, had to force the pin in and out. All of my other pin hits went through with no problems. great product

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Great value for money.

I can't believe the abuse I give mine. This item is heavy and very durable. Do people complain that it dangles and rattles? Spring? Yes, it does some things. But nothing duct tape can't fix. Persons? I stole an old house with this thing. I'm not joking 😎

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Still very sturdy and well built.

This thing is a beast and has a pretty solid finish, but if you manage to scratch it like I did the exposed metal will rust. I managed to scratch mine while standing on it with riff flip flops that had a bottle opener on the bottom. It also shook a lot when it was first installed. I had to wrap some Lars tape around it to get the perfect fit.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great tow hook, great in looks and functionality!

Looks fantastic, is VERY good weight and fits your standard 2" hitch. I will say that the square piece you put in the receiver is on the smaller side so it will wobble. Not sure if this is intended for that or if the installation can vary from hitch to hitch. It's not a big deal though (doesn't even deserve to be docked to a star) so overall I'm very happy with the product.

Pros
  • Excellent fit for me
Cons
  • Some issues

Reinforced hook for towing gear and winches

This was dispatched very quickly and came in a nice sealed box. It's reliable and will work for you. Some say it's loose in the receiver and rattles on the road, true, it's loose and really rattles. I took duct tape and wrapped it around the area that goes in so you can't see the duct tape and it tightened up nicely for me. As for the finish, I didn't have time to comment, but if it's fading I know where to get a can of black paint. In the F150 photo, the hook protrudes 7 inches from the…

Pros
  • All right!

Saved me from getting hit from behind!

I had this on my Xterra for about a year and about 2 months ago it saved me from someone not paying attention and hitting my X. Judging by the dash cam, we were driving at about 15 mph when traffic stopped and the driver behind me didn't stop. This hook punctured the front bumper of another car, crushing the foam on its crash bar and even making a dent in it. After my X was checked there was no damage to my X other than some damage to the powder coating on this hook. If I didn't have this hook…

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
