value of locking hitch pin?
Yesterday I had to cut off the locking hitch pin that was holding on my blue ox towbar. I bought the RV last year and the locking pin was one thing I hadn't checked to see if I had a key for.
At any rate, I figured I'd try a sawzall to cut it off... just a little battery op-cheapo kind.
I got ready-- braced for the cut with a standard metal blade...
I was amazed-- the pin cut in half in less than 10 seconds.. 2 light whacks with a hammer and it was off...
It almost took less time to cut off the pin than it would have to use the key to open it.
I guess these things really are there to keep the honest honest and prevent "gas station pin removals"
I was still stunned at how easily it cut off.
