My friend and driver always bragged on how great Brechbill Trailer Sales was, how great the prices, personal customer service was. I run a fleet of Hotshot Trucks and Gooseneck Trailers, and I am the creator and admin of Hotshot-USA Resource network, www.Hotshot-USA.com. I manage a large network for our industry. Recently I was in a bind. I had converted my elec Drum Brakes to Elec over Hydraulic disk. After a couple years I needed rotors, pads, and they were manufactured by DeeMax components. My trailer guys were unable and back ordered on parts, my trailer repair couldn't find them. I called and looked furiously for them . When I did finally find them, they were $300 more than Brechbill. I remembered that my driver had mentioned that I give them a call. I did, talked to Justin and others there, Great service, They found, quoted and overnighted my parts straight to my shop. I was so impressed with them that I am adding them to my Hotshot Connections and told my friends in the business to contact them for all their parts. When I find a business like this that can help my trailers and my members, I get excited. I look forward to a long relationship with them. I honestly believe that you can not find a better source for all your trailer needs. Don't get jacked by high mark ups on parts. Just because we are in need, no need to take advantage of us, Buy with confidence. 100% REAL TALK!
They can only get this off your trailer if they cut off the lock. So, it all comes down to how good your lock is, ’cause once the coupler’s on, it’s nearly impossible to remove.
Very solid. Not cheap Chinese junk.
So, I got this lock after someone swiped my keys and I had this low-cost one that, even though it’s pretty popular, could be busted open with a heavy hammer. I reckon this new one is a lot safer and isn’t just about “keeping honest folks honest.” I added a couple of bits to make it even safer. First, I popped a 3/4″ steel pipe in the middle to toughen it up. Then, I threw a washer on each side. Now there’s no space for someone to get a hacksaw or bolt cutters in. Someone might still try with a portable electric grinder, but they’d be at it for ages. And I’m pretty sure it’d be tough to smash this off. Yeah, it cost twice as much as the cheapo Curt or Masterlock coupler lock, but it’s still way cheaper than those $300 coupler locks.
I reckon the key to security is making stuff look like a real hassle to steal. This lock nails that for sure. It’s big, solid, and super shiny. The rough texture just adds to the whole intense vibe. Pair it up with one of those hefty ABUS 82/63 brass padlocks, and no one will want to tangle with it.
From a safety standpoint, I bet a thief would need a good few minutes and a grinder to get through this thing – fingers crossed someone would spot them! Unless it gets smushed by a speeding train, I reckon this lock is pretty much bulletproof.
Two thumbs up from me.
Big and sturdy.
