Reliability of fiver latch mechanism
I don't want to hijack the other thread about the poor family whose fiver fell on their truck rails. But his thread got me thinking about the reliability of the different jaws and I just wanted to...

I also had a hitch with a slide bar. There was no question when looking, to see it was hitched. It also had a locking pin that would not allow the bar to move. The hitch did clunk, when stopping/starting, but was a very safe hitch.
I now have a B&W with the jaws. This jaw thing, just did not seem as safe. After using the B&W, and studying how it functioned, it was obvious that this hitch could not open either, with the handle pinned or locked.
