Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!
After reading other positive reviews, I bought a pair of these Magnetic
Hitchin' Rods in the hopes of putting an end to all the guess work and
multiple trips between the driver's seat of my tow vehicle to my trailer's
tongue to check positioning. Let me tell you, this item works
EXACTLY as advertised! I can position the hitch ball under the
trailer's tongue in one quick shot solely by lining up the Hitchin' Rods
in my tow vehicle's rear view mirror. I've had others watch me do this
at RV parks and come up to me afterwards to ask me where they can
buy a set. This is one product that I can't imagine being without... and
a very reasonable price!

It really works
I was skeptical about the reviews of the hitchin rods as I suspect many TV testimonials are faked by the manufacturer because they use actors. I bought the hitchin rods anyway because I can't back up worth a hoot and had nothing to lose. I am totally amazed! These rods are wonderful. Until I got these rods I had never backed the truck up to the trailer ever and was afraid of even trying. Even though I lined up perfectly the very first time, I'm practicing often and proving that the first time was no fluke. Honest, my husband has made fun of me for years and rightfully so because I have such a hard time backing up anything. He's not making fun of me now!

It works!
I got brave and decided to see if this product really work or not. I was surprised by how easy it was to use the rods. I was a tad off the mark on my first attempt but right in line on the second try. The key for me to was to back up very slowly and to get out to verify
my bearings. On the second attempt I was comfortable with my bearings and
completed the attempt hitting the mark right on without any markings or damage to my sister's SUV. Since I have to back up the SUV by myself these rods makes the job easier to do. This product is well worth the price especially for peace of mind.

Exceptional product!!
We absolutely swear by these!! Hookup is sooooo simple!!! We just got a Jayco trailer,
our first RV. The first we tried these, I had the tailgate open on the Jeep Grand
Cherokee, and the tailgate hit the trailer rod before the hitch hit the ball rod. We closed
the tailgate and tried it again and absolute success!!! Another neat thing is you can use
one rod as a depth gauge to see that the trailer is cranked up high enough to go over
the ball.
These are inexpensive and they work!!

Works great with third reference mark
I'm a single full timer so I need to hitch by myself. With just the rod on the A frame, and the rod on the ball, I was off by the width of the ball the first few tries. I laid a squeegee on top of the third row seat in the center to act as a third reference mark. Lined up the squeegee handle and the two rods, when the rod on the ball fell off everything was perfectly aligned. All I need now is backup camara(s) and I can do everything by myself.

Every trailer tower should have these!
You can line up perfectly and drop your trailer tongue on your hitch by yourself in
seconds with these...or save yourself the grief of getting your spouse's help while
hitching. Worth every dime of their cost. My camping buddy loves these things so
much that he pulls them out to show neighboring campers when he sees them trying to hitch up to leave...he probably has sold a couple dozen of these things by talking
them up for Camping World!

hitching rods
Excellent product! It saves me multiple times in and out of the truck, and it is so fast and reliable. No matter the weather or light I can align the hitch and it is right on! Being a woman is difficult with hitching and towing but this makes it so much easier. Kudos to the person that
invented this product! You place the two rods, back up the truck when the truck side pole drops off tada! You are in line to hitch up and go.

Greatest thing since sliced bread
Love 'em! Makes hooking up my gooseneck sooooo much easier.
My hitch is just out of sight as I back up my pickup to my camper, so hooking up was
always a stop and check approach.
Now with the Magnetic Hitchin' Rod, I put it right in front of the hitch, and it is easy to see,
so I can line up first time. When the gooseneck nudges the rod, I am where I need to be-
get out, and drop the trailer onto the hitch. Just that easy!!!

I always grease my ball on the truck before hooking up. It appears these must fit on top of the ball. I wonder if they would work at all with grease on the ball?
The magnets are fairly strong so I expect it would push through the grease. Note that your hitch ball has a flat spot on top. This is where you put the rod. The coupler doesn't touch this flat spot, only the curved sections, so wipe the flat spot before use and avoid putting grease on the flat spot. Otherwise you will have to clean the magnet before storing the rod.
