Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Locking Hitch Pin for your inch and a quarter bike racks. This is going to be a replacement locking pin for your bike racks on inch and a quarter hitches. You can see here this is the standard pin that comes with some of their bike racks that we'd be replacing, and the new one is just going to be a locking pin, same diameter pin just with a lock core on the other end. Let's check it out. So I'll talk about the lock a little bit more out here before we put it on because it's gonna be hard to see down there.
But overall, the function of this lock is really nice. It's got a cap on the top here to just keep the locking core all protected. It snaps into place and it fits pretty firmly. The lock itself is very smooth to insert and turn to disengage, pops right off. And the nice thing about this that I always look for in a lock is if it's a push to lock.
So I can just push it in place, I'll hear it click, and then it's locked in. So I don't have to worry about keeping the key inserted, holding it in place, and then turning it to lock it whenever I'm all under my car. One thing I will say about this is that the fitting point here is a little bit loose just because this is a very small pin. But I have messed with this quite a bit off-camera and really tried to find if there's a weak point here, and I haven't found any point where it feels like it's going to pop loose. Despite that movement in there, it feels like the pin is held in place very securely, so I'm not too concerned about that.
The other nice thing I like about it is the fact that the locking core here is on the side. So when the pin is through, the locking core is going to face us, rather than being out to the side like this. That just helps with getting access to it when it's under our vehicle. And if you have a hitch that's really far-recessed or maybe has some other clearance issues, then you don't have to worry about it as much interfering with things because it doesn't stick out as far. Underneath, we can pass the pin through the hitch pin hole, pop that lock core on the other side, it's already locked in place.
And then at this point, you can tighten up your bike rack and get it all secured. And that's really all there is to it. Overall, it's a locking pin. It says what it's gonna do. And I think at the end of the day, it's going to be a big upgrade over the standard pinning clip that comes with your bike rack, and it's gonna be a lot more secure. When it comes to locking pins, there's not really much to look for besides a nice secure fit and ease of use, and I think Kuat really did a good job with this one. It's easy to use, it's got a secure fit, and I'm not worried about it when I'm leaving my bike rack on my vehicle. Thanks for watching.
