Perfect for our car transporter!

We chose this for our car transporter when parked in the driveway so it can't be stolen. It's a perfect lock and impossible to take off. They could have tried to cut the plastic ball but couldn't because it's inside the receiver on the trailer and the pin that goes through the clip is so thick it's almost impossible to clip it with bolt cutters cut. Also, I can use this with different trailers and receiver sizes.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Expensive

Not impossible, but uncomfortable. Good buy

Got this for my hubs to jam his sweat tag. He seems content. He said he likes Tribol and is easy to put on and take off. He said he wasn't entirely sure about the plastic but thinks it's pretty durable and will hold up well. He said it wouldn't make stealing impossible, but it would make it very inconvenient. :) I guess you don't really make stealing impossible, but the more someone has to work at it, the less likely they are to try. An affordable deterrent and ultimately a good buy.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

Works well: External Accessory

This works well and is a good anti-theft device if you just pull it out. However, it is not 100% anti-theft. If someone really wants to steal it, there are options: The hitch that bolts to the trailer tongue can always be removed, so it's just a good way to deter theft. Convenient to use, easy to install and lock. The pen moves in a direction, which suits me. The stylus only snaps in one direction, if placed improperly it may slip. Practical because this set is suitable for different trailers…

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • No Instructions

Good device to keep people honest

This probably won't stop a determined thief, but it will deter someone from stealing your pendant and looking for an easy target. It is very easy to install and block. Care must be taken to ensure that the locking device is installed in the correct direction. It has a ratchet that slides over the locking pin to tighten it to the last possible position. If you attach it in the wrong direction, it will come off. However, in the right way, it is safe. There is still a small gap on the stop bolt on

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Quick and easy best in hitch locks

Ball fits and fits perfectly on the ball on my hitch. The cable keeps them together conveniently. Unpacking took longer than fastening and locking the trailer with this nifty set of locks. I feel the lock itself is a little light - it really serves to protect against accidental theft versus determined attack. Despite the cable, you can easily use the ball part with another lock that is stronger if you want. This device is always with me while driving in case I need to leave the trailer, but for

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Stumbled across it in an awkward position

I was glad to get this hitch lock as I was looking for a hitch lock that would fit my old (wider and taller) locking lever and this fits perfectly. Due to the size and configuration of my trailer's locking lever, the cable must be directed away from the hitch to secure the cylinder lock. However, I didn't realize that for the lock to work properly, the cable side of the cylinder lock needs to be face to the clutch. I managed to remove the barrel lock from the pen. I went back to the…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Modern

Really smart idea: hitch locks

I love this trailer lock. I used to put locking pins in the hitch release, but recently a friend of mine lost a trailer to theft and thieves simply used a 1-7/8" ball on his 2 5/16" trailer to secure it tow with the towbar closed and locked. The orange three-ball insert is highly visible and deterrent, while the clutch lock is of good quality. The small steel cable is only there to hold the knot together and isn't really needed for it to work, so the fact that the steel cable is small in…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • So-so
