Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the replacement 1/2" retaining pins with the clips for Blue Ox tow bars, and it's for a quantity of two. Now, these 1/2" retaining pins will secure your Blue Ox tow bar to your base plate brackets. It is designed to fit all Blue Ox tow bars. Does include the two pins and the two quick pin clips. Now, the pin diameter is 1/2". The usable length, which would be measured from under the head here to the center of the hole, is going to be right at 2 3/4", and the overall length from end to end is going to be right at 4".But again, just to show you, now, there is a little note that they attach to these quick pin clips and the reason they do that is they just want you to know that when you do attach these that the locking ring will only lock when it rotates toward this nose of the quick pin.
So, basically when you open this up and then you put this here into your tow bar, to your base plate brackets and you drop it in the hole, you want to make sure that you rotate it that way. You can see the little beveled edge. That's the head of it. In other words, they say here the nose of it, so right here. That's the way.
It won't lock the other way. In other words, it can't go the other way, so you just flip it down that way.Very simple to install and then easy to remove. But that should do it for the review on the replacement 1/2" retaining pins with clips for the Blue Ox tow bars for a quantity of two.

Secure your Blue Ox tow bar to your base-plate brackets with these 1/2" retaining pins. Clips included.I have needed many parts over the years. etrailer always seems to have what I'm looking for. Not just parts but lots of online information and great videos that makes it easier for the do-t-yourselfer. Fast shipping too!
II recently saw a fellow camper that somehow lost one of his retaining pins and clip for his Blue Ox Toad. I like to be prepared, so I ordered a spare set to keep with other necessary items in our Motorhome. etrailer had exactly what I wanted and shipped them promptly, even in the midst of this pandemic. Great Service !
The product was exactly what I needed and was delivered promptly. I live in a small town in a very sparsely populated and hard to access area of far west Texas (think old John Wayne western movies). We have only 3 auto parts stores, a hardware store, a building supply store and a rancher's supply store. I went to all of them in an effort to find the lock pins for my towbar. We are 160 miles from the nearest commercial airport. It takes days to get things shipped or mailed unless you pay for expensive fast shipping services. Your product arrived in 3 working days. Awesome service! Thanks!
Kurt - 01/28/2020 Kurt - 01/28/2020Looks good. I lost one pin when I was not towing so needed a replacement. I will will be using the new set and keep my old one as a spare. These were delivered on time as planned. thanks
I have tried other vendors for buying parts until I purchased the last two orders from ETRAILER as long as they have the parts I will continue with them, there customer service is AWESOME and will help in any way possible to get you back up and running asap with the correct parts I dealt with Korren (very helpful)
These are an exact replacement. Have heard these tend to get stolen from the tow bar, so wanted to have a spare set. Thanks, etrailer, for making it easy!
The pins work great. Is there a way to place a lock on them. Some fool stole my pins one night luckily I check them every day.
Great service and support, highly recommend etrailer.
A excellent high quality product. Etrailer offered a good price with fast shipping.
I love spares! Thanks Christina for helping me find the right ones!
Never a surprise at etrailer always the correct parts great quality priced right
5 stars I’ve had good luck with everything I’ve ordered.
These things are great! 1/2" diameter, so beefy. But best of all, the locking dowel/rings are spring loaded, so you don't need to worry about them coming off.
Came quick, was what I ordered, would buy from these people again.

Great company to deal with. Thank You
Product works well securing your vehicle to your tow bar. The pull ring could be a little more heavy duty ... hard to pull if there is a little pressure on the pins.
Thank for the follow-up. I have to be honest this is the most difficult Blue Ox device I've used it's very hard to get in and get out of the catch. I usually have to ask two or three different men to come and help by the time we can get it out . In the past they've moved very smoothly and I've had three of them. This is somewhat disappointing to me since I am a huge Blue Ox fan. I wish you the best of luck with a product that has such a great reputation and hope that others are not having the same problem and this is just an unusual situation.
My blue ox tow bar came with key lock pins which had developed stress bends. Replacing them with spring clip pins was my preference to allow for quicker unhitching in potential stress filled emergency situations. These met my need at competitive pricing and were quickly delivered.
Jerrygoes - 05/21/2018I ordered the ½" Retaining Pins with Clips for Blue Ox Tow Bars to replace a clip I had lost. The price was acceptable for the the set even though I only needed a clip now. The pins wre shipped the same day as ordered and arrived a few days later. I got great service from etrailer.com and will probably order again in the future.

Roger begged me to say nice things about him. Just kidding!! He did a terrific job searching for the right things that I needed. And we found them and they shipped immediately, and now I’m ready to put them to the test. Thank you Roger for your help. And thank you for your direct number so I can work with you again next time.
