Didn't fit on my review.

So I got these to secure/tighten up my hitch extender to eliminate any wobble but the u-bolt wouldn't even fit over the body of the extender and both the hitch extender AND this hitch tighter are the same brands.Toptow! Bad design!

Pros
  • Vehicle
Cons
  • Difficult to install

Solid item best in my review

Solid item, used it to keep a hitch mount bike rack from wobbling around. Does what I needed to for half the price of other options.

Pros
  • Wish I had purchased these years ago. Works Well.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to access during travel

Does the job: my feedback

Use for taking the wobble out of my very heavy e-bike hitch. Seems to work fine. I took off one star for sturdiness because i really haven't put the product through a thorough test yet.

Pros
  • Great for the stopping of vibration on your hitch
Cons
  • Can damage the hitch receiver

Great deal best in my review

Bought these hitch tighteners to take out some slop from a cheap motorcycle carrier and it did what it was meant to do. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Much stronger than I thought they would be
Cons
  • Can loosen over time

Elimatated all side sway and wobble

Nothing to dislike.used it to secure my 2'/3'ft hitch carrier which in turn held my 110qt yeti cooler 125lbs with ice.it took ALL the sway and loseness out of the hitch to the point that I felt that it was WELDED to the frame of my truck.Also gave me peace of mind against the snatch&grab thief's

Pros
  • It was what I expected and works great
Cons
  • Only works with certain types of trailers

Does the job! - my new review

Product came on time and undamaged which is always good. This product is a necessity not a luxury. Especially if you're hauling a motorcycle on a motorcycle rack. It prevents a lot of wobbling and looseness in the assembly which will only get worse in time. This product is worth its weight in gold. It does an excellent job!

Pros
  • Made the tow more solid...no rattle.
Cons
  • Can be an eyesore on the back of the vehicle

Bent the U bolt: my feedback

I had a problem with taking this off my hitch. The u bolt bent at the corners ( maybe I overtightened it on installation?). It made removing the heavy plate difficult. I was able to straighten the u bolt with out damaging the threads. But I have a feeling this will happen again.

Pros
  • They work well. Takes the loose play right outta there.
Cons
  • May interfere with backup cameras or parking sensors

Great Stabilizer Design

I have an old bike rack and an old hitch cargo carrier. I've always just lived with the fact that they sway a little while driving, not a huge deal, but less than optimal. This completely solves the issue. My only wish is that it was possible to install/remove without tools - for now, I keep a wrench in the door-pocket of my truck.

Pros
  • Very nice finish. Good value for money. Works as intended. NO MORE RATTLE!!!
Cons
  • Causes noise while driving

She's tight! Really tight! ;)

I got tired of her always rattling at me. I got this and not she is so tight! Like a dream!Perfect! Thanks! That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Used one on the SxS and the other on the truck. Hardware appears to be good quality.
Cons
  • El metal es de mala calidad y de apretarlo se desforma !

A must have for my opinion

These are great! Always seems like tow hitches are to loose and rattle. No more metal clingy with these . Absolutely love them

Pros
  • Easy to install. Good quality aluminum.
Cons
  • Requires frequent maintenance and lubrication

So far so good - my new review

So far this product seems to be strong and sturdy. Attached it to my hitch cargo basket to keep it from moving on a trip. Will update after trip to tell how well it held up.

Pros
  • great little gadget.works well to stop any play between the receiver and hitch
Cons
  • Results in uneven weight distribution of cargo

Look well made and heavy duty.

I was going to make one, but after ordering and receiving these I don't need to. Heavy duty with thick aluminum and the finish looks more corrosion resistant than the flash zinc, it looks sort of galvanized or phosphate coated. Torque to 50lbs don't use an impact.

Pros
  • Takes out alot of noise you get from an empty trailer really helps taking the slack out of the receiver
Cons
  • Requires constant tightening

Saved my cargo in my review

I have a cargo carrier and it rocks a bit if I don't use this hitch tightener. Recently when traveling I used this on my cargo carrier and at some point during the drive my hitch pin/lock came off. Not sure how. It is a locking pin, but still came off. I bought a locking pin set from Masterlock and it did not stay on. Thank goodness I was only using the cargo carrier and not hauling a trailer. Although the pin came out the cargo carrier stayed on thanks to the hitch tightener.

Pros
  • Very straightforward. Good value. Does what it is supposed to.
Cons
  • Expensive for what it is

Missing parts - my new review

These seem to be good products at a great price but I received them with parts missing. There should be 2 u-bolts, 2 plates, 4 flat washers, 4 lock washers and 4 nuts. I only received 2 nuts. OK, not a big deal. go to the hardware store. The thing is that this raised my cost by $1.64. So it was not a savings over the other products on Ebay which looked to be slightly better quality

Pros
  • Easily installed but I haven’t used it yet
Cons
  • Comes loose easily

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more rattle. on my review.

It works. No more aggravation from a rattling hitch. Easy to install. Well made; high quality materials. Only downside is it will take longer to insert or remove the hitch from the receiver. I'll gladly accept that tradeoff for a quieter tow.

Pros
  • Corrected my issues with ease. NO more noise or movement with my bike rack!
Cons
  • Limited warranty coverage

Better than most best in my review

I have other similar products, this style is better because the bolt holes are actual holes not slots. I have bolted the slotted version on my 1-1/4" hitches and had the U bolt deform due to the ability of the bolt to move in the slot when you 'overtighten'. I can't use those deformed u-bolts now on my 2" hitch. These don't have slots, and stay in the correct shape. I will purchase these again, not the slotted version.

Pros
  • Good product has made a noticeable difference in noise and hitch movement.
Cons
  • Can cause wear and tear on the hitch
