Reese Hitch 30160 operating handle, looking for alternative

When I hitch up, I watch the handle pop back to let me know the claws have closed. For that reason, I prefer the handle in the up position.

One of the things I like about the Reese. I can watch the lever travel out as the pin forces the jaws open, and watch it snap back as the jaws close.

I can still see that easily in my rearview mirror, with the handle modified.
