Best solution I've found to stop hitch rattle

If your receiver has two holes to use it with, this is probably the best solution you'll find to stop the hitch rattle to stop the trailer hitch. I use a clutch retainer and this, in combination with the 'regular' rattle-reducing clamp, blocked it completely. Highly recommended (but make sure your receiver is compatible).

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Protection

The keys provided did not work with the lock provided

I bought this in 2019 but didn't install a hitch until 2020 and didn't try to tow anything until 2021. To my disappointment when trying to use the J pin the keys didn't work with the lock. Check it out once you receive it. It's too late for me. I might order another one because it's a good concept when everything comes together.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • ---

No rumble! for external accessories

I have a DrawTite clutch that is designed to use a J-pen, so the pen is very easy to install and does the job perfectly. The locking feature is always good because of the cost of the pin...I don't need it stolen...or my custom stainless steel clutch! Overall I think it's a bit pricey for what it is. There are many cheaper anti-rattle devices out there, but they match the hitch design, so I paid for them...but waited for a small discount before ordering them. 😉

Pros
  • Sturdy construction

No rattle, snug fit

I deliver furniture in my closed trailer for my shop. Both the wife and daughter have repeatedly complained about the "trailer sounds like it's about to explode" in the receiver. This device is my first attempt to solve this problem. The good thing is that this thing clicks firmly and quietly into place, like a security lock with a rubber cap. not so good - you call it a wrench? There was no way to push it into her to tighten the nut. Make a real wrench guys! I still gave 4 stars. A good wrench

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Exchange availability

Check your recipient.

Don't make my mistake and just order this without making sure it will fit my receiver. I obviously didn't do my homework before ordering this item. My receiver only has one hole for a straight pin, but this pin has a "j" part that requires two holes on one side for the "j" part. I only gave this a 5 because it looks and feels like a high quality, durable product. I just can't use it. I will return this item. Please do your homework before ordering and make sure it fits your receiver.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not the best

Water and anything that can get in and clog the lock doesn't bother him

Quality product. Worth the price. As long as you can keep the rubber cap on, dirt, water, or anything else that might get in and clog the lock won't bother it. You may want to put some lube on the lock when you receive it. A bit dry from the manufacturer. This product is easier to work with than other similar products. Keep in mind that no device can ever completely eliminate trailer knocking, but it certainly helps. Before you buy it, this is a 5/8 inch pin for 2 inch receiver. If you don't…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Pen broke during installation after a year of use

****UPDATE 08/02/2021**** 09/2021, that's all I've heard from the company. I was asked to forward my email to "pdarling" the person I spoke to. I emailed twice more with no reply. I'll call support again and see if I have better luck! A fully loaded trailer weighs around 8500-9000 pounds (maybe?). Of course, this isn't the heaviest trailer! I wanted the J-pin to reduce or eliminate the knock (and wear) of the hitch movement under braking and accelerating while towing. I bought a pin at the end…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors
