Shield your hitch ball from the elements and keep messy grease from getting everywhere at the same time. This durable, weather-resistant cover guards your hitch ball when it's not in use and hangs from it while you tow.Took it out the package, went to put it on my trailer ball and the o-ring that slips over the ball broke. I just put over the ball and called it good. Should be a warning that to ring could tear/break. And I thought I was careful enough with it. Not asking for refund, I will use it as is.
It will be a nice gift for my daughter to have the tethered hitch ball cover. Looks well made.
I like the tether so that I don't lose the hitch ball cover.
Keeps ball clean and protected when not in use!
I've owned a larger version of this same cover for my camper hitch. Just bought this one for the smaller 2" boat hitch. The one on the camper has never lost its retaining ring.
The cover is nice because it keeps the grease off my clothing and the retainer ring prevents me from misplacing the cover when the boat is attached and keeps the cover handy so I can cover the ball immediately after disconnecting the trailer.
Dennis L - 08/07/2020I bought this because I got tired of fighting to remove my old ball cover. Who doesn't know the kind I mean? The one where it is narrow above and below the widest diameter of the ball, with the bulging middle that sits on the horizontal line. They are a pain in the butt to take off! This thing slips on and off easily. The retention strap seems like a good idea, but that was cut off immediately. Again, I am sure others have caps or covers to items that had the retaining piece eventually break; for example,the cover for my flat 4 wire harness. I chose to avoid the future disappointment of finding it missing after hauling a load.

Great for keeping grease on the ball and off of you. The hitch is always ready to use because it’s always greased. The cover keeps dirt off. Great, simple product.
Ed M - 10/22/2018Finally a common sense and functional hitch ball cover that is easy on, easy off but stays on when it is supposed too. Keeps the grease where it belongs too. Two thumbs up!
Rick - 04/03/2017Keeps me from getting grease on me when I brush against the hitch ball and helps to protect the ball.
This cap has been great to keep grease off of pant legs and keep the grease where it should be: on the ball. The rubber cap does stiffen up in winter but still does the job. My only complaint is that the rubber o-ring the attaches to the cap is very thin and can break easily. After learning this the hard way, I am more careful with using the spare that I bought. After a year, it is still going strong with monthly travel trailer use.
I cut the tether off and just use the cover. I've never had an issue with it even coming close to falling off. I'm using it on a greased 2" ball. Definitely recommend it.
Derek B - 09/01/2018After ruining more than one pair of pants with hitch grease I was so happy to find this handy hitch ball cover. My husband thinks it's silly, but I love it. It inspired me to go through all the accessories to see if there was anything else I couldn't live without!
This a simple, yet essential, product for anyone who keeps a ball hitch permanently attached to the tow vehicle. It not only keeps the ball dry and rust-free, it prevents dust and dirt from clinging to the lubricant applied to the ball. Now that I have one, I can't live without it!
Fastway ball covers fit well and the tether is a great idea, don't have to find something to wrap it in and a place to store it until your done towing. The ball mount bag is another great idea, but use the ball cover so you don't get grease inside the bag.
Soft playable rubber and well designed fits just fine.
The hitch cover works great but the tether broke within a short time.
Great product. The only ball cover I know of that does not remove the grease on the ball.
Also, being rubber not PVC could weather does not affect its flexibility. I have the same comments for all three sizes.
Works as described and not much else to say!
Thanks again etrailer.com for excellent product selection and customer service.
Everything looks GOOD! Great service, quick delivery, proper fit, accurate description, super price!
Anne - 11/22/2018The ball cap functions perfectly. Strap is still intact, very heavy duty. Grease is now under wrap. This was a good purchase.
Dealing with e trailer is always easy, efficient. Products are excellent and the prices are very good.
Easy to install and highly dependable p roduct.
This works very well and much easier with the tether. I got the order quickly and am happy with etrailer which I‘be used before.
The ring already broke trying to put it over the ball which can be put in the back of the truck but other than that fit perfect. Thanks
Great quality
Durable and color doesn’t fade
