Quick Connect Hitch Coupling Tool for RV and Travel Trailer Weight Distribution Hitch Ball Mounts, Fits 2-5/16" Balls, Orange

This is a simple yet genius tool that has allowed myself and spouse to be able to handle those heavy hitch stingers! This compact, ergonomic tool makes lifting and moving heavy hitch stingers a breeze. No more awkward lifting, back strain, or pinched fingers. It securely clamps onto the hitch ball, giving you a sturdy handle to safely maneuver the stinger without breaking a sweat—or your back. What I love most about the HitchGrip is how it combines safety and ease of use for everyone—whether you’re a man or a woman. It takes the strain and awkwardness out of handling heavy hitches, making the process safer and more manageable for all. Whether you're hitching or unhitching an RV or travel trailer, this tool ensures you can do it confidently and without worry. It takes a little finessing to figure out how to get the clamp just right on the ball, but after a few times it's a breeze! For reference we have 2 hitches - Curt and Husky with 2 5/16 hitch ball(s) and works on both!

Hitch heads can be heavy – and some can be very heavy. I happen to tow using the latter, and in fact, I use one of the heaviest on the market. Until now I’ve just been lifting it by hand without any sort of assistance as I thought that is just how it has to be done. I’ve seen this apparatus advertised a few times but thought it might not work or that I really didn’t need it. And then I sprained my back lifting my hitch head and decided enough is enough and ordered this the next day. I shouldn’t have waited so long to get this. This device is a game-changer, plain and simple. It makes the hitch head so much easier to lift and move that it’s hard to believe it can work so well. The device looks so deceptively simple and yet it manages to make my heavy hitch head seem much lighter. I’m sure it must be something about the balance point or the way it positions the hitch ball or whatever principles of physics it employs -- I really don’t care; I just know this thing works and works well!

Impressed with this Made in USA product. I'm using with my Camco R6 Hitch

This tool works great for getting RV hitch on and off truck. Put a receiver on trailer frame and you have a place to store and lock your hitch while camping

A good tool for grabbing and moving your high head. Latches on easy and reduces your contact with the greasy bits.

Works remarkably well! I have a heavy hitch assembly that incorporates connections for a trailer load leveling system, and the whole thing is a big, heavy and poorly balanced hunk of metal. Getting it installed on my pickup truck was always a pain - literally, a pain in my back. This device allows me to easily pick up the hitch assembly with one hand and guide it into the hitch receiver on the truck. It balances the load, making the whole process a lot easier. Highly recommended.

Ok, so this was a total impulse buy. I had it on my wishlist for a while as a curiosity. I was ordering some "add-on" items, and had just a few minutes left to get my order in to hit my delivery target, so I said what the heck, and added this to my cart to get above the minimum order amount for the add-ons. It just came, and I took it out. First impression was it was lighter and smaller profiled than I had imagined...I had figured in itself it was going to be some heavy-ish tool, but it's not. I had a minute, so I figured I would give it a try. My equal-i-zer hitch (which is a fairly meaty hitch) was stowed in my trailers storage compartment. I remember thinking when I ordered it "eh. I will still probably need to pull it out of the compartment before using this"...wrong. The profile is small enough I was easily able to slip it over the ball while in the compartment. I didn't even have to re-position the hitch first, just grabbed onto it where it lay. My other preconception was "ok, how much of a balancing act is it to carry it around with this?". I had visions of carrying it and it slipping off and bouncing off the pavement. Again, the design proved me to be worrying needlessly...the way it is designed, it slides onto the ball and cradles it with virtually no effort on your part to keep it in place. I lifted it one hand out of the storage compartment and literally exclaimed out loud to myself "oh my gawd...what didn't I have of these 20 years ago?!?!?!?". I felt like I could have carried the thing down the road one handed, no problem. This thing is amazing. To give you some background...I don't need this, I don't have back problems, I am strong enough to lift the hitch just fine. But this tool absolutely eliminates the awkward carrying that you typical have grappling with these things. I say I am strong enough to lift just fine without it normally, but to clarify, I am not a muscled athletic build either. This thing absolutely helps, positioning the center of gravity of the hitch optimally for a carry. And not only carrying it, but it was much easier to use this to get it out of my storage compartment without wrestling with it. Get this. Even if you think "I don't need it". Just get this. It is so worth the money. I am really excited to have added a useful tool like this to the mix!

Perfect tool for handling a heavy trailer hitch. I have a very heavy weight distribution hitch, and this tool has been a game changer. Perfect for removing, installing, or carrying my big, clunky hitch. Allows for easy two-handed lifting, and keeps my hands away from the grease and grime. 100% recommend.

Bought for my husband for our heavy duty hitch. He thought it would be useless and of no value to assist. He was wrong and uses it every time to install and remove hitch. Game changer. He recommends it to others frequently. Have used it for a full year now and was a good buy.

Picks up your bulky wd hitch easily, no greasy dirty hands. Good balance for lifting and positioning in the receiver. Heavy duty construction, looks like it will hold up well.

Saves the strain of lifting the heavy hitch on this old cowboy. Great product. Should have purchased sooner.

I took a chance and ordered one and just used it and it works like a charm. I usually have to wear gloves to avoid getting grease on my hands while holding the bottom of the hitch with one hand and hitch tongue with the other while being bent over. This makes picking up, carrying, installing and uninstalling very easy. I'm glad I bought it. Recommended with 5 stars.

Excellent item that does exactly what it says on the tin. Holds the underside of the ball so no damage to the bearing face and is well balanced. I have a very heavy cast steel equalizer hitch made by Reece (15k lbs rated with 1500 lbs nose weight possible) and it make moving and fitting the hitch far easier. It lloks strongly made with a moulded plastic body and steel ball gripping plates. My only reservation is the price which for a very simple item is high, but it is worth the ease it allows you to lift the potentially very heavy and very dirty hitch.
