Hitch pin

Has anyone used this hitch pin? I like the idea of one less key to carry but it looks rather bulky and wonder how it holds up to road grime.

Your input is appreciated.

  • I am not a big fan of lockable hitch pins.I have had to cut too many for friends.What I like is 5/8 bolt and fiber lock nut.
  • No. Bolt locks are unique in that they set themselves to your key the first use and after that only with your key.
  • So anyone with a late model GM truck key can open your lock?
  • I had the Bolt padlock keyed for my Ford. It worked great for five years and I sold it with the truck.

    I use other keyed hitch pins and never had a problem with them as long as they have covers.
