“it works great but...”

This pin is awsome! its very handy but once (at my beach house), i ran into a puddle and it spashed up onto the pin. i left my beach house without using it after that, and a few weeks later i came back and it was all rusty. it would not move at all! so i just threw it away.

“King pin jams and has to be cut off ”

I purchased the King Pin last year. Never left it outside, always stored in shed. Last week after hooking up Sears Lawn Tractor, and Sears yard trailer, I used it to haul items from front to back of the house and never exeeded 40LBS. When I went to disconnect it jammed so bad that after 30 minutes of...

“Clip the wings, this pin doesn't fly”

The design of the two "wings" needs improvement.  The wings extend out at the bottom of the pin and do not retract evenly on both sides when squeezing the retraction handle.  One of the wings protrudes out further and can get stuck on the edge of the hole as the pin is being pulled up for removal. A little "convincing" is necessary sometimes and finally the pin/wings can be pulled thru the hole.

When looking into an exchange, I checked another unit at the store and found it to be made the same.   I found the pin was a tight fit on my Craftsman tractor so not a lot of wiggle room for pulling...

“Good idea, but doesn't last...”

We opted to try this after we lost the regular hitch pin from our Craftsman pull behind cart. It's a great concept, but we had a functional problem and a durability problem. 1.) If anything gets in the lower pins, they will not retract and you can't remove the pin without cleaning them out. We were dealing with Rye hay and it clogged it often. 2.) when it does get clogged and you don't know it, you try and pull it up harder and TWICE we ripped the handle off the pin and then it was useless. I thought we might have damaged the first one, so we foolishly replaced it, only to have the second one fail... read full review »

“Almost worked”

The design and concept are good, and the handle would fit a man's large hand. But the barbs holding in the pin did not fully retract when the handle was squeezed, requiring me to reach underneath and pinch the barbs with my other hand to be able to extract the pin from the hitch. It wasn't that quick. On the good side, there was no cotter pin to fool with.

“Too weak to use”

Broke after light use, too fragile for ANY lawn tractor application. Not recommended, stick with the regular hitch pins, they don't break.

“King Pin Quick -Connect Hitch Pin”

Well, What can I say exept , this piece of Plastic lasted about three times I hooked my Mower and trailer together with it. Why in the world would you make something like this out of plastic, when you could just as easly made it to last. When I recieved it and looked at it I wondered how long it would last. Now I know . Not long at all, and for the price and shipping and stuff, as us ole boys from the South say "It ain't worth spit!" So if you buy it plan on being dissapointed.........The pulling rod inside the metal frame is "PLASTIC" ! Tell me you ain't smart enough to make one of... read full review »
