Review: Must have addition for heavy hitch stingers - This is a simple yet genius tool that has allowed myself and spouse to be able to handle those heavy hitch stingers! This compact, ergonomic tool makes lifting and moving heavy hitch stingers a breeze. No more awkward lifting, back strain, or pinched fingers. It securely clamps onto the hitch ball, giving you a sturdy handle to safely maneuver the stinger without breaking a sweat—or your back. What I love most about the HitchGrip is how it combines safety and ease of use for everyone—whether you’re a man or a woman. It takes the strain and awkwardness out of handling heavy hitches, making the process safer and more manageable for all. Whether you're hitching or unhitching an RV or travel trailer, this tool ensures you can do it confidently and without worry. It takes a little finessing to figure out how to get the clamp just right on the ball, but after a few times it's a breeze! For reference we have 2 hitches - Curt and Husky with 2 5/16 hitch ball(s) and works on both!
Review: Save your back, get this! - Hitch heads can be heavy – and some can be very heavy. I happen to tow using the latter, and in fact, I use one of the heaviest on the market. Until now I’ve just been lifting it by hand without any sort of assistance as I thought that is just how it has to be done. I’ve seen this apparatus advertised a few times but thought it might not work or that I really didn’t need it. And then I sprained my back lifting my hitch head and decided enough is enough and ordered this the next day. I shouldn’t have waited so long to get this. This device is a game-changer, plain and simple. It makes the hitch head so much easier to lift and move that it’s hard to believe it can work so well. The device looks so deceptively simple and yet it manages to make my heavy hitch head seem much lighter. I’m sure it must be something about the balance point or the way it positions the hitch ball or whatever principles of physics it employs -- I really don’t care; I just know this thing works and works well!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the point of this thing?**
A: I am recovering from rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. I can’t lift more than one pound at this point my recovery. My right arm is plenty strong. I can lift my 60 lb. weight distribution hitch and place it in the receive by myself. Great product.

**Q: I put grease on my ball (hey, no smart allick comment !) and I'm afraid this will not "hold" because of the grease.  Does anyone know?**
A: Yes, it holds fine when used with greasy balls.

**Q: I have a hitch with a 2" ball is there one for that size?**
A: Not that I know of, and the Hitch-Grip ad only shows usage with a 2-5/16" ball; which I have. works great, but DO NOT use it on a Reese rotating/interchangeable ball.  It can fall off when the ball rotates and if you're lucky, it will just miss your foot by 2" like mine did.

**Q: If you use it with an equalizer hitch will it work if you leave the swing arm bars on?**
A: With my equalizer hitches, it is perfectly balanced without the bars with the handle facing forward.  Adding the bars will for sure tip it back away from the receiver.  If you turn the handle around so that it faces rearward, it might work to change the center of gravity and balance.  But, that is a heavy load, as was said above.  Suggest leaving them off for safety: your shins and toes.
