This alignment kit with yellow foam balls and LED lights makes it easy to hook up your trailer or camper during the day or at night. The magnetic, telescoping rods work with multiple applications. Attaches to your ball mount and trailer coupler.The aligner was delivered very fast. This system/tool at under $20.00 is an excellent choice over a camera system at $150-200. This is especially the case if you, like me, do not pull a trailer much. It takes some skill development to get the alignment right, but not much. I got close enough on my first try. Much better than backing blind! One of the blinking LED lights did not light. I disassembled it and found the small, delicate wire contact was not aligned proper in the socket. Misaligned aligner? Fixed it and it works fine now. I do not expect to be hooking up at night, but as an early morning aid, the LED option is a good idea. I was concerned that this aligner would not work for me because I use a 180 degree aluminum hitch ball assembly on my GMC pickup with which I move the trailer around occasionally. I tow on the road with a 3/4T Suburban with an all steel, weight balancing hitch ball assembly. The aligner is magnetic and will not attach to aluminum. However, the edge of the hitch pocket sticks out beyond the bumper just enough to provide a steel surface directly behind the ball. (See photo). I recommend the aligner to the frugal, occasionally tower. More frequent towing? I would go to a quality wireless camera set up. 519193
These tools work better than advertised. Trailer alignment to my truck is now easily done without asking my wife to assist!!!!! 551353
Bill - 08/08/2019My tow vehicle is a Ford Minivan with no backup camera. Lining up the hitch and trailer used to involve raising the lift gate and craning around to try and estimate the location of the ball and coupler, then having to get out multiple times to check if I was aligned. Now, with the vehicle and trailer aligner with the yellow balls I can’t miss! I was able to get right under the coupler the on the first attempt, with the lift gate down. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago. 267136
Looks good but I Haven't used it yet and if I have any comments in the future I will update my review with any concerns or comments 426658
David L - 08/30/2018Good concept but the length of the telescoping shaft is too short to use it as intended. It needs to be at least 12 inches or more for proper function 657424
Mike L - 06/15/2019This aligner works well as long as the trailer and tow vehicle are on parallel surfaces, side to side. This may seem obvious, but I didn't realize it until I tried it at home where the approach to my trailer is at a slight angle relative to the trailer parking position. So it doesn't work well there. At most campsites, this is not the case, so it works very well at them. 551272
Chuck - 08/08/2019This really helps when you are aligning tow vehicle to trailer. Simple but works well. 891853

I haven't used them yet but if you dont have a backup camera I would think I would help 873956
Because of curves and stamped lettering these don’t set flat enough on ethier side to guide you perfectly but they do save me 4-5 trips to the truck back in forth 869502
Makes it a lot easier to hook up the trailer when you don't have a helper... 857191
Extremely helpful when hooking up a trailer by yourself. 856470
The trailer alignment balls appear excellent so far. I have not used them yet. I had to sent a pair back from another company because they would not telescope as advertised. These extended with no problem. I have had similar items in the past and these are the best all around. 850879
All great ...good service and product! 838015
This is one of the Great Inventions of the 21st Century, in my opinion. SO Simple. SO Easy. Why didn't someone invent this a century earlier???There's a slight difficulty for me because one of my trailer hitches has a round top, so the 'mast' tends to tilt. Anyone should be able to either File a flat spot or whack a dent that'll support the magnet. During the day it's not a problem--I can see the direction of the mast. At night, it's more of a challenge. Still, I hope someone got an award for inventing this (the REAL Inventor, not his supervisor :-[ ) 825539
The product is great. 815879
The trailer aligner works well, but you have to place them just right to get the correct result. 814710
It is a great product because I cannot turn my head like I use to. I use my mirrors and it works great. 812083
A big help ,but can use a little refining. doesnt work to good with a goose neck and a long bed crew cab gets you close. When the trailer tongue on a car hauler is sloped the magnet doesn't want to sit level. The product is helpful in some cases 811308
I use it EVERY TIME for hooking up trailer, I had bought 2, and gave one to neighbor to use with his camping trailer. He loves it also. May need to buy more for gifts. 802639
Really handy. The yellow balls are easy to see, day or night, so the lighted tips are probably overkill but still pretty cool! 800775
Excellent product. Worked exactly as described. Very easy to install. Thank you. 802937
I've used your site several times for my boat trailer needs ,everything is always delivered within a few days of placing my order. The tutorial videos help with details when I need a reference 782657
Waste of money. Once extended, you can see the rods are not straight.. making it difficult to use it to backup. 772267
I have a hitch installed on the front of my vehicle to allow me to back my boat trailer into some tight spots. Because I could not see the ball or the trailer coupler from the drivers seat, it was very difficult and time consuming to hook up to the trailer. With this product it is now very easy and quick to perform this task. 767028
