Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device
Not sure wat to say about this. the lock arrived broken. It seems the quality of the lid is not as good as other Thule products. However, I contacted etrailer customer service and I received a new one without any problem. I read many comments about how the bolts were not steady or moved a lot, I have to say that I did not experience anything like that. I used the materials on the package and all fitted perfectly and nothing has been loose on my car.
Great fit and great video. Simple installation and a wonderful product. It has allowed me to use a sweet bike rack and a cargo carrier. I am a big fan of this site!!

SportRack Hitch and Cable Lock - Keyed Alike
The hitch pin broke on the first trip with the SR2415 bike rack carrying 3 bikes. This rack is rated to carry 4 bikes and the hitch pin is compatible with this bike rack. As you can see in the photos, the color of the outer shell is different from the inner metal of the nut, which I perceive as the nut is not made of the same metal all throughout. Not sure why. The cable lock is NOT compatible with this rack and eTrailer should correct the answer registered on this site regarding this, which I had asked before purchasing this. Etrailer shipping was as always fast but unfortunately this product is seriously bad and is risky to use. Luckily my bike rack did not fall off the hitch and did not go flying on to other cars. I had to go to a local hardware store and buy a 3.5 inch length 1/2 nut and bolt, which worked just fine while returning.
Install was easy though instructions were adequate at best. Lock that holds bike rack to receiver is good daytime deterrent but make sure the lock in snapped in all the way by making sure the bolt in tightened in all the way. Original lock fell off. The bike cable lock is fine for daytime parking at a lot but would not depend on it to deter thieves with a bolt cutter at 3 am. I would use in in combination with a stronger lock then. Delivery was fast and product arrived as described. Blister pack was a pain to open of course.
