Hitch handler

Inspired by a commercial product that uses extra holes in the hitch head to transport your hitch I came up with this simple adaptation .
If you can't find the super duty tie wraps you can use several together for safety .
We like to remove our hitch head and put the ball in the hitch and lock them together both at home and in campgrounds and this lets you use one hand on the hitch head " "handle" and one hand to close the hitch,plus you leave it on the hitch head all the time so it's always handy.

  • good idea,

    I used all-thread 3/8"... and bent it as a "C" and used a piece of heater hose as a handle.
  • Hey popeyemth,

    Very cool idea, I just happen to have some super duty tie wraps and some 3/8" fuel line for some extra handle cushion.

    One beer and five minutes later I now have a great new hitch hack!

    Thanks for the idea! :B
