Great lock but what stops the thief from simply unbolting the whole hitch from the trailer tongue? A simple drive-by will let them know what size they need and then they can stop by Tractor Supply and pick up a hitch and two wrenches. This would stop an "opportunity" thief but so would any cheaper ball lock.
Great quality lock, but it's too expensive if you have several trailers and it is very heavy. Yes I know it's cheaper than replacing your trailer after it's stolen, I get that, but the price point is terrible. If you just have one trailer to lock up it would be fine, but if you have to spend thousands to lock up several trailers the price is out of reach for most people.
Mike, do you think the best lock available will be the cheapest lock? The cheap locks are the ones according to law enforcement that are on the trailers that get stole the most, right after no locks at all.
The cheapest locks of course are not good at all, but when you price your product way out of reach for most people that's not a good business decision. I was at the NATDA show this year and viewed the same demo from that rep. The lock is crazy heavy and hundreds of dollars. Just not practical. @@MrTruckTV
Many horse trailers, tool trailers, car trailer, RV conventional trailers and toy haulers easily can be over $50,000. Commercial trailers like dump trailers are over $15,000. Plus tools, saddles, ATV's etc. Plus the time you loose. I think the ICON lock is a valuable tool.
Thank you for stopping by and showcasing the ICON here on your channel!
It's a great lock, I highly recommend it
now THAT is a chonky beast.
That's the first thing I noticed. I stands out
Great lock. Do they have one for Australian ball hitch trailer couplers?
Not sure, their website link is in the description
I'd like to see one twice as big. 40-50lbs, truly max. This is awesome tho and tops my list for locks
I'll be testing it in a month
combine this with a motion-detecting camera on your trailer and you have plenty of time to react to a potential thief.
Yes
Wow! Looks sturdy!
Yes
Just like Kent... indestructible..solid stuff man!!
Thanks Ronn
@@MrTruckTV No problem my friend

Many couplers are welded on. Many ways to lock the channel type of coupler. I'll review one of them too.
@@MrTruckTV Maybe but some sort of tamper proof bolts/pins would be a good addition.
Yes, that would be good@@Dusdaddy
Spot weld the nut on the bolt for the bolt on couplers
Good idea@@4wd35
