Hitch grip review

I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my cousin who has a motorhome and three other trailers that he uses for work and ple...asure. So I thought this may help him out with all the changing of trailers and trucks back and forth, this item has great reviews and when I received the item I was very impressed with the quality of this and feel it should do very well for it's intended use.

Pros: Item feels very well made

Hands down loading!

This tool is too cool. It does allow you one handed loading of your hitch even if you are an old codger like me. After back surg...ery, I was having a hard time lifting and stabbing the receiver hitch. Now, I can do it with one hand and no back strain.

A must buy

No more picking up an off-balanced, greasy, aggravating hitch by hand. It is as easy as shown in the video. This tool is a must ...for everyone and it even eliminates some of those ugly-words that are sometimes heard while campers are hooking up.

Greatest New Gadget

I wish I'd thought of this years ago. This makes the hitch a no-mess, no strain process. No more greasy, rusty hands. You can ha...ndle it with one hand, and slide the hitch in, or out of the receiver and line up the pin hole with no problem. I highly recommend this to anyone who tows with a distribution hitch. It's worth every cent!

This is the greatest since sliced bread! It works as indicated and makes it very easy for a 74 yr old man to maneuver the hitch ...head.

HitchGrip

by George Bogosian – September 22, 2015

When I first viewed the HitchGrip I, like many others thought, “Wish I had thought of that!” Lifting larger hitches can be diffic...ult. HitchGrip helps in solving the problem but…the darn things are still heavy! I wanted to use it with my spring arms attached to the hitch. And that is how I used HitchGrip. I own an Equalizer sway control hitch system and leave the spring arms (20lbs each) attached to the hitch when I remove it from my tow vehicle. I reversed the HitchGrip handle (pointing the handle towards the trailer) and I placed the hitch on the ground on a small block of wood. Now my tow vehicle is free of all that hitch weight and I can go exploring with my tow vehicle. HitchGrip didn’t mention using it with the spring arms attached. It certainly makes it heavier (90 lbs in my case), but HitchGrip worked just fine. With my Equalizer system I was able to reverse the handle direction (handle toward my trailer) of the Hitchgrip and the balance worked properly. I was able to both remove and replace the entire hitch system with the spring arms attached. The hitch system I use weighs 50 lbs without the spring arms and 90 lbs with the spring arms. Using proper lifting technique is needed to avoid hurting your back. Only lift what you are capable of lifting, don’t hurt yourself. I bent my knees and kept my arms straight and lift with my legs. I found that spreading the spring arms (about 10-15 degrees) was enough to stabilize the entire hitch and keep it from falling over on its side. I placed a leg on each side of the hitch spring arms, which kept my legs and feet out of the way. If you’re removing and replacing your hitch system alone, it is very useful. Using the tool didn’t turn 90 lbs into 20 lbs, but the HitchGrip simply gave me a good handle to use. I don’t know if the balance would work on all hitch systems with the spring arms attached. You can always use it to lift only the hitch and replace the spring arms (this may be the best use for some of you) once the hitch is attached to your tow vehicle. I found the tool useful and would recommend it. My only down side is, I don’t like orange! George Bogosian, camper trailering for 15 years. Pittsfield, NH

This thing is great! This tool makes it SO much easier. It works like a charm--quick and easy to use. It feels very well made an...d simply does what it's advertised to do. I really love the fact you never have to touch the hitch. I couldn't be happier with it!

Thank you for this amazing tool! My husband has me pull the hitch and I always get dirty. This tool not only makes it way less o...f a dirty job, but it also distributes the weight so that it's not so awkward to remove. I normally end up dropping it in the gravel, but with the hitch grip I was able to actually place it in the bed of the truck!

No more having to get help hooking up. Greasy palms a thing of the past. Before, seemed like we always needed help moving my u...nit. Quite the load off my sweeties back, that's for sure.

HitchGrip is great

by VIRGIL JOHNSON – July 29, 2014

For a while I can only use my right arm and hand to lift with. HitchGrip has been great to use with this limitation. I have onl...y used it twice but I have a horse trailer, dump trailer and travel trailer so it will get a lot of use. It is great.
