Review: I didn't need this...it was an impulse buy...but wow, where has it been all my life?!?! - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the point of this thing?**
A: I am recovering from rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. I can’t lift more than one pound at this point my recovery. My right arm is plenty strong. I can lift my 60 lb. weight distribution hitch and place it in the receive by myself. Great product.

**Q: I put grease on my ball (hey, no smart allick comment !) and I'm afraid this will not "hold" because of the grease.  Does anyone know?**
A: Yes, it holds fine when used with greasy balls.

**Q: I have a hitch with a 2" ball is there one for that size?**
A: Not that I know of, and the Hitch-Grip ad only shows usage with a 2-5/16" ball; which I have. works great, but DO NOT use it on a Reese rotating/interchangeable ball.  It can fall off when the ball rotates and if you're lucky, it will just miss your foot by 2" like mine did.

**Q: If you use it with an equalizer hitch will it work if you leave the swing arm bars on?**
A: With my equalizer hitches, it is perfectly balanced without the bars with the handle facing forward.  Adding the bars will for sure tip it back away from the receiver.  If you turn the handle around so that it faces rearward, it might work to change the center of gravity and balance.  But, that is a heavy load, as was said above.  Suggest leaving them off for safety: your shins and toes.
