Torque Wrench for WD Hitch nylock nuts
Is this the right thread for this, first of all? I'm trying to install a weight distribution hitch to haul my trailer of stuff from east county San Diego California to Kansas. It's a 7' x 14' cargo...

I'm not real found of split washers on big stuff that is real critical to stay tight. Have found to many cracked. If the pieces fall out...
I prefer a piece that has tabs that bend to the flat, or wire thru fastener.
On things like hitch or lugnuts, where I will be checking to be sure not backing off, I often use paint mark where fastener meets part so I can tell at a glance if moved in relation to each other.
