Tow Bar

I am considering purchasing a new tow bar do to age of my present tow bar. the old one is a 10 year old Blue Ox and it works fine no rust or damage. But I am little worried about metal fatuge. How old is your tow bar and what is your recommendation? Thanks for your help.

    I think I have read on here that you can send your bar back to blue ox for an overhaul which is much cheaper than a new one.

    I use a ready Brute Elite with integrated surge brake and love it. Pricey though.
