This durable bag works great, not only for dirty ballmounts, but for all your towing equipment, such as tie down straps, pins, clips and locks. The strong handle makes it easy to carry and the large zipper opening makes it easy to operate.

What's up, everybody It's A.J. with etrailer.com. Today, we have the etrailer Ball Mount Bag.Now, it is exactly what it says. It's a bag to put your ball mount and accessories in there. Now, the alternative is probably throwing it in the back of your truck, which you're used to doing, or in the truck. Either way, stuff could slide around, and you can lose parts.
Like, ,if you don't put the pin and clip with it, it could end up at a different corner of the truck or you just lose it all together, and then this is useless without it. So this is a great way to keep it all together, and we've got our anti-rattle device here, and there's room for tools or anything else you might need to put it in the bag and take it with you.The bag itself is made of a nice nylon material. It really feels like it's going to hold up with the ball mount inside because a ball mount, as you know, isn't exactly light. If you put it in a paper bag or plastic bag, it would just rip right through the bottom. So this is clearly way better than those.
I feel like I can go up and down with it. The handle itself doesn't feel like it's going to snap or break. It's sewed on there here, and I feel pretty confident about that it's not going to just rip out when you're carrying it around. Same with the nylon. It's nice.
It doesn't . I can't get it until you seem like it was going to rip or anything like that, or tear on me. I feel like if you had, maybe, the pins kind of got some sharp edges on it . I don't think it's going to catch and rip anything open.Now, we've had some questions on the durability of the bag, and as you can see, as I'm going up and down with it, trying to make it hit against the bottom, it doesn't feel strained. It doesn't feel like there's any rips or anything here at the bottom.
If you tried doing that with any other kind of bag, like a plastic bag or paper bag, that would rip right through the bottom of it. I don't have to worry about with this bag.The handle itself is sewn on, and I have confidence in that too, because I can pull on it and try and rip it, and it's not moving. So when you go to lift it like there . because the ball mount, like I said, it's pretty heavy, so you want a bag that can hold up to that.Let's take a look inside the bag. I want to show you the coating on the inside. It helps protect the nylon from stuff like this clip, if it was the get on here and drag, it wouldn't rip or tear it at all. Also reinforces the handle, see where I can show you that . where is it There we go. It's got this nice patch there, giving it more strength, and it's not just going to rip out when you go to lift it up.There are a few things that I think they could improve on with the bag, though. The zipper does seem sturdy, but I would like it to unzip a little bit more. Maybe come down here, giving you more access to the bag so when you go to drop stuff in, it doesn't get in your way, and just easier to get things back out, too. I would also like to see some padding on the inside. It's a little bit . that way, cushions it when you go to drop it somewhere or throw it somewhere, it protects the ball on the inside, and what you're going to drop it on, like to tailgate.I'll show you here, what I'm talking about, just lift it up and drop it. That was loud, and it didn't really protect the tailgate at all. If it had a little bit of padding, it wouldn't have been as loud, and it'd be protected.With those features in mind, the bag I'm comparing it to is the CE Smith Ball Mount Bag. Like I said, it's got that zipper that comes all the way around like that. You can see how much wider it opens, and it's got the padding on the inside, cushioning it when you go to drop it, and I'll show you here . this one also has a pocket, which is nice for the smaller items, but really, they kind of fall out anyway, when you go to put them in there. So, I don't know if I can . I don't know if I like the pocket or not. (silence) Now, you do sacrifice space with the padding. So, you could probably fit another ball in here . a couple of things in here before it's overloaded.And now, we'll do the drop test. You can see it's way more muffled, which I'm sure you don't really care about the sound, but that just shows the protection on the tailgate or whatever you're throwing it into.Honestly, though, that's the only two little critiques. They're not that big a deal. This bag still works great for your ball mount, and you have more space with this one.I think it's going to be a great solution for keeping all your stuff together, nice and neat, and give you an easy way to put it in your truck. That does it for our look at the etrailer Ball Mount Bag..

Thank you George! I made responses on those two reviews and am still very happy with the two items I bought. The bag is still holding up and the ballmount is exactly what I needed for my trailer. Didnt even need anti rattle clips. Thanks again, and please pass my thanks along to everyone else at the company.

The Ball Mount Bag lives in the back of the vehicle, keeping the hitch, ball, and pin in order, and the bag still looks like new - DURABLE !
