Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced Security Blaylock TL-33 American Metal Coupler Lock by Chase Steele

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best shackle in this price range.

To be honest this is probably your best bet for basic, inexpensive towbar security. However, with a background in law enforcement lock manipulation, MOST commercially available locks are ridiculously easy to pick. Most of them can be opened with simple tools and minimal knowledge. However, with this device you can use any lock of your choice. If you decide to use this type of "shackle" device, make sure the padlock you use is sealed and unbreakable, such as a padlock. B. Interactive Disc Locks or Medeco 2-Axis Devices. I'm taking off a star because the workmanship is pretty horrible. You can tell it's a fairly roughly cast piece of aluminum that is then ground to size. There are fairly large cavities at the bottom of the shaft which they tried to hide by grinding deeper. This makes me wonder if there are gaps elsewhere in the casting. Make sure you buy the right one for your connection. I tried the TL-20 on a 2-5/16" hitch but it was too small.
