Does any one besides me have trouble pulling the smaller safety pin that holds the big pin in place on your hitch?
Due to lack of space for my fingers, many times I have had to resort to a pair of pliars

I have this issue on the clips for the pins securing the spring bars on my weight distribution hitch. These clips are even smaller than the slip securing the drawbar pin. What I did was to install a small carabiner to the clip for no other purpose than to hold on to.
As for the suggestion of a locable draw bar pin - that IMO is a standard piece of kit. You don't want anyone carting off the WDH head as this is expensive, and besides with that locked and the trailer locked to the ball, there is more of a theft deterrent. The lock also solves your problem of small clips to pull.
