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: Grip handle - Works great especially if you're installing and removing the hitch with one hand. It is well made and at a good price and fast shipping I would buy again if needed

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes inserting a hitch a lot easier, and safer
*by B***. on May 31, 2025*

Works remarkably well! I have a heavy hitch assembly that incorporates connections for a trailer load leveling system, and the whole thing is a big, heavy and poorly balanced hunk of metal. Getting it installed on my pickup truck was always a pain - literally, a pain in my back. This device allows me to easily pick up the hitch assembly with one hand and guide it into the hitch receiver on the truck. It balances the load, making the whole process a lot easier. Highly recommended.
