We got one of these and since important papers are where they should be, in a safe deposit box, we use this for a spare $20 bill, truck key, credit card, and house key. There's room for more smaller stuff but we've got what we need in there. Of course, this isn't any good for those who need the hitch to pull their trailer. The former owner of my truck pulled a trailer but we have a fiver so it's "found" space for us.
I just got one of those for my truck to keep an emergency key in case the battery goes dead and I can't use the keypad to get in. Construction seems to be pretty solid.
Some reviews I read said people had problems with the pins and internal slides used to secure the safe housing to the receiver socket were prone to rusting, making it difficult to impossible remove. I used some waterproof plumber's grease I already had knocking about to coat the slides and pins to hopefully repel any water that may cause rust otherwise. I put the key in a small ziplock parts bag to protect it since it is possible for water to get into the tray. I'm probably being overly paranoid but it's better to be safe than sorry.
