I used to do the same with my old equalizer hitch on my older TT. Instead of using the snap tool to bring the torsion bars into the L brackets, I would raise the tongue a bit and just slide them in.
The Andersen Hitch has been on my trailer for about a year now and I love it.
Yours is a pretty typical experience. Most "users" appreciate the convenience, light weight, cleanliness, quiet, and sway resistance of the Andersen hitch. A few people that don't have them seem to have a lot of negatives to say about their value. As pointed out repeatedly, they are not the best at unloading a large amount of weight from an overloaded rear axle. Something with big old spring steel bars is much better suited for that.
