I'll take a look at the other products mentioned above. I did have a recommendation for Blue Ox but had not looked at it yet.
Completely forgot about Andersen, been out of RVing for a while.
I do remember the setup taking a while, and as I used to rent rather than have the same combo long-term, I'm liking the input that I won't have to be changing things often.
As I recall, the Equalizer makes noise, and this is the friction providing anti-sway. I've read some folks grease those parts, which does quiet it down, but it seems to me that also removes some sway control.
Removing sway control for backing up... Will need to look at that closely. That could be annoying. Not so bad once at the destination, but have had instances where I have had to back up while enroute to somewhere.
And yes, I will need a torque wrench to tighten up many of them; but I like collecting tools. Thanks for the pointer on the thin wall socket, would likely have missed that and had to grind down whatever socket I did get... And then buy the right one after my modified socket broke.
