Hitch Inserts
Use these inserts in hitch-ball connections for towing. They fit into a receiver that's attached to a vehicle. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the hitch ball.
Height adapters for hitch balls raise or drop the ball to the height that works for your trailer. From the drop position, rotate the adapter 180° to achieve the raise position.
Combination ball/eyes give you the versatility of mating with a drawbar ring or hitch-ball coupler. The higher capacity is for the drawbar ring; the lower capacity is for the hitch ball.
Multi-size hitch balls provide three sizes in one. The larger hitch ball sizes have higher capacities.
Height adjusting multi-size hitch balls provide three sizes in one and can raise or drop the ball to the height that works for your trailer. The larger hitch ball sizes have higher capacities.
Eyes and combination ball/eyes with multi-size hitch balls allow for more range of movement than ball hitches, making them good for use on uneven surfaces. Since they can also tow higher capacities than ball hitches, they’re often used to haul large items.
Use clevises as a hitch or ball mount to connect parts for towing. They can also be used with rings.
Use rings with clevises to evenly distribute pressure. They also keep tow chains and straps from slipping.
Use hooks and multi-size hitch balls with hook to attach towing chains, straps, or cable to haul heavy objects, such as vehicles.

Drawbar Couplers
Also known as pintle hitches, drawbar couplers are used with drawbar rings to connect a trailer to your vehicle for towing. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring or hitch ball. Use Grade 8 fasteners (included with some couplers) for mounting. Mount couplers directly to a vehicle or use a mounting plate insert to mount them to a hitch receiver. See Mounting Plate Inserts for Drawbar Couplers and Hitch Receivers.
Combination ball/eye couplers include a ball for use with hitch-ball connections.
Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.

Trailer-Hitch Vises
Secure these heavy duty vises to the back of a truck to clamp at your job site. These vises mount directly to a standard 2” hitch with the included pin. Moving parts are enclosed to keep contaminants out and lubrication in for smooth operation. In addition to flat jaws, vises have V jaws (also known as pipe jaws) that securely grip pipe and other round objects. Use the anvil for bending and shaping material with a hammer. Vises include a bracket for benchtop mounting.
