Finally a locking hitch pin that I trust to keep my B&W Stow and Tow!

It’s ironic. The simplest solution is if you don’t have a trailer on the truck take the hitch off. I know everybody loves the convenience of always having it available. But if you don’t want the thing stolen, take it out of the receiver. Lock it inside the vehicle in a storage compartment or something. Where they can’t see it if they don’t see it they won’t know it’s there.
I had that locking system on mine too went into store for 2 minutes came out and it was gone they snapped that thing of with NO problem
I surely don't have much ambition anymore, but I still have enough to pull the ball mount and stow it away..nuff said
Just get a bolt and nut and tack weld the bolt
All my shanks are solid steel.
Okay all you thieves carry a wrench with you. Don't leave home without it.
PACLOCK UCS-80A-250 Pacific Locks makes phenomenal security products for trailering. You can have matching lock cylinders so everything is keyed-alike. i have this and all the locks on my utility trailer using a single high security key.
Cause no thief ever watched Boob-tube.
Doesn’t work with solid hitches. Useless if you tow man shit
Link to the pin?
PacLock. Problem solved.
The {{{ONLY}}} thing those are good for, they keep honest people from stealing-it… GET A GRADE-8 BOLT INSTEAD…
I have this. Love it. American steel! Any suggestion on adding a sway bar bracket to this? Perhaps having one weld it on? Your thoughts are welcome.
That's all well and good but what about the balls? What good does it do to lock the shank and loose the balls?
The tow and stow doesn’t allow the ball to come off.
Thanks 😊!
Imagine a thief leaving on a hitch theft adventure NOT carrying a crescent wrench.
Nothing can really stop a real thief, this lock sure makes it difficult on the average person… keeping the the honest man honest!
This has a 12k lb capacity. If that’s the 3in shank B&W, it has a 21k lb capacity. Wouldn’t you want a pin that is as strong or stronger than your hitch?
Sweet tips man!
Not most but lots of crack peps tend to bring a tool bag. Just saying. I'm in oakland ca and they strip cars next to my camper all day. The put in over time hrs to get it done quick. When they are done they pull the car shells in the middle of the street and call the cops so the can take it away. That's how they get rid of their trash. They fill the empty cars full of trash. These dudes are very resourceful. So best of luck with the no wrench thing.
Wow, I'd get out of that place!😮
@@DonzLockz no way it is next to work. I need the over time hrs. Lol.
Thanks for the video. It's been a few years now. How's this been working out for you?
Well I bought a new truck last year... Same hitch, but bought a new pin. The exact same one, but just new. Still 100% happy woth it! Thanks for the comment
IMO it's BS that B&W doesn't have an option to get 4 locking bolts (all keyed the same) when you purchase these. That's why I like the Weigh Safe design much better.
What I did to mine was welded a cylinder type thing on the side where it locks from where the lock barely fits inside to where if they do put a pipe it won’t break it’ll just go around the cylinder
I’ve got green/white wire and a white wire coming from by Astoria travel trailer. Any idea how I should match up the colors?
Could get the same effect with a grade 8 bolt. Use a magnet pin and hold nut inside the receiver through the back, thread though the inside nut then put 2 nuts on the other side and lock them down. Even tack the 2 nuts with weld. Probably never get it off.
You failed to point out the other feature of this locking pin, it doesn’t look to me like anyone could break off the lock end due to the way it inserts through the hole in the receiver. All of the other locking pins due just attach to the tip of the pin.
Thank you for this video.
It's a good lock, but keep i mind that in some states it is illegal to leave your hitch in the receiver when not towing a trailer.
Wrong
@@amgarza913 As a retired State Trooper, in my state it is illegal to leave in place if you are not activly towing.
@@garyfields3672 maybe in the 80s
Can't they steal the ball because that's not locked? It's held in by 3 pins?
Yes they can, pull 3 clips and pins and its gone unless you buy the cheap locking pins for that also as this new threaded one won't work for those holes.
@@mikethompson2007 wrong Mike... The ball doesn't come off of this hitch lol it rotates around the drop... Its either steal the whole hitch or nothing, or of course someone could steal just the pins themselves.
Love the bucket trick
If a wrench is needed to remove this pin, what makes it different than using a bolt and a nut?
Also has a lock
All these locking hitch pins are BS. Be careful putting one on that can't be sheered off if the lock siezes up.
um ok... but someone can still just take the 3 pins out from the swivel part. sure they cant just take your ball mount out and and mount it in their receiver but they can just hook up the chains and take your shit. if they want your trailer they will take it.
No.. The ball doesn't come off this hitch... You steal the entire thing or nothing
Hope you put some anti seize on it
Does it have to be 5amp. Can't be 15. Someone told me 15amp
Sure 15 will work. I’ve never had an issue with a 5, but use what you have.
Thanks
What about the part the flips around on your hitch? Looks like they pull 2 pins and you only have 1/2 a hitch
It doesnt come off like that, all they can take is the actual pins
@@bizzle4819 You are right on most receivers but some allow it to ride up and slip off I noticed they sell a plate for those people having that receiver. My complaint if it is one is the weight loosens my anti rattle lock pin. I’ve torqued to spec and just tighten the hell out of it and it comes loose. I blame the pin.
Not gonna work on solid steel hitch??
I have a You Tube channel as well and I just uploaded a video on the same subject because my B&W hitch was stolen a few weeks ago. Although I agree that the pin you bought is an improvement over the standard locking hitch pin, all a thief needs is that wrench in his back pocket. If he walked over to your truck with a pipe to get the hitch off (which he probably got from his truck), how difficult would it be to also grab a wrench, or channel locks, or vise grips, etc. All he's gotta do is break the torque then he can twist it off quickly and quietly which would only add a few seconds. Yes, that pin is a better one than the standard locking pin but I came up with an even better solution - and you might agree. Please watch my 6 minute video showing what I did and shoot me a response to tell me what you think. We are both searching for a way to prevent this B&W hitch from being stolen (yes I've seen the pipe video too), but it's possible I've come up with the best solution yet. Type this in the CZcams search bar with the quotations: "B&W Hitch - Theft Proof Lock" Make sure it's the video by Mike Sanchez. Thanks
why dont you just copy and paste the link into your comment.
@@dirtrider88 Because I deleted my video - didn't you notice that my comment to this video is over 4 months old?
@@mikesanchez9654 yeah so? 4 moths is a very short period of time. I have videos that are 10 years old on my channel and thats not abnormal to see
Go luck getting that off if it seizes from rust or gets stuck .
I put anti seize on my threads. Comes on easily although it pretty much stays on.
A stainless pin and lock could be used instead of chrome plated steel.
Good video! I'm doing same thing. Did you ground the small breaker box to anything like a frame?
Thread locker
Really dumb that you call pull the 3 pins and they can take off with them.
Wrong
@@DirtNassty right!! You can pull the 3 pins and take off with them.... not the ball or hitch just pins its a dumb design
You believe a thief wont have a 16mm wrench with him ? You believe a thief doesn't watch CZcams ? Thief are always ignorant but they aren't all stupid !
Theives are lazy and want a quick in and out. I'm not sticking around for a hitch that the pawn shop will give me $50 at the most for. It's just not worth it.
My best friend has always loved the bed of my pick up. Probably due to those long rides in the country. Anyway, when the weather permits he won't even come inside at night and likes to sleep there. Best of all, when the criminals come, he likes to make 'em shit themselves. I love my buddy. He's my BFF and always has my back.
I made my own lock atleast it would take them awhile to figure out.
This all true,,butt lol you can just break the trailer hitches to remove trailer from hitches just as easy, this there a way to lock the trailer and ball hook up
Just had mine stolen so im looking for a fix as well so I found this and just wanted to share this with you as well czcams.com/video/4gzO0_61gBQ/video.html
Damn, you talked for over 3/4 of the video, right? Right? Really, right? Or the one-handed video producer, right?
I'm protecting a $500 Küat bike rack. The cheap locking hitch pin they provided with the rack will last about 5 seconds against a pipe attack. The solution I came up with is to use a high quality, mini U-Lock as the hitch pin. These things are designed with dual deadbolts to withstand leverage attacks and at 13mm think, it would take a long set of bolt cutters and a lot of weight to cut. With the location of the pin being so far under the bumper, I'm not sure a thief could position bolt cutters to generate the force needed to cut through it. OnGuard 8013 Bulldog Mini U-Lock is a $30 solution.
Thanks for the idea two years later. I just bought myself a Küat bike rack myself and went to buy a lock just to have something decent at least. But I was looking for a better more robust permanent solution. Imma check this one out.
After the publishing of this vid, Harbor Freights nation wide over had a shortage of 16mm wrenches and sockets.
