Limited security for towing devices and winches

Bolt too long for many applications. I tried to use this to extend two different hitch mounted bike racks. The deadbolt fits perfectly through the extension but leaves over an inch of deadbolt exposed in front of the lock. All of this is as safe as cutting a 1/4 inch bolt with a hacksaw. Other hitch locks I've used shorten the distance to the holder so much that it would be very difficult to install a cutter there. The lock is also pretty flimsy, it's just to prevent a quick snatch and grab.

Pros
  • Anti-theft device incl. 2 keys, weatherproof locking head
Cons
  • Transparency

This is required if you have a Heininger trailer hitch extension

If you bought a Heininger towbar extender, you probably connect a bike rack to your car, jeep or truck hitch. a simple screw that holds the extension to your hitch so the bike rack doesn't jump. This lock does the SAME WORK (ie it's a screw that fits the threads of the Heininger hitch extension) but it also has a lock on the end. Hey, you're lugging around an expensive bike rack and at least one, maybe 4 bikes. You want some idiot with a wrench to come and finish off this whole girl? - Dad and…

Pros
  • . The tow bar lock with a 2 inch thread is ideal for securing the bike rack to the tow bar. The clutch lock is .625" in diameter and will work with any 2" receiver. Class III or Class
Cons
  • Empty

Works as expected: Hitch locks

I bought a Heininger 6000 extension and a 6001 threaded hitch lock at the same time. I haven't tested it yet, but it seems to be working, doing what I wanted. My bike rack now fits my Wrangler, leaving room in the back for a 12.5" wide spare. I really like having more than one pin arrangement. I wasn't sure if the locking thread would fit the extension but it does. Despite the very small gap around my hitch, I was able to install and secure it. I had to insert it from the left as the clutch…

Pros
  • WILL NOT WORK WITH TWISTEP OFF-ROADS #3052
Cons
  • Slightly dented
