Video Transcript for All About the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket
Today we'll be taking a look at the Powerbuilt inch-and-seven-eights three-quarter-inch drive socket, part number ALL643216. This socket is ideal for tightening down hinge balls to ball mounts, or weight distribution heads. It's a three-quarter inch drive, so you need to be sure that you have a three-quarter inch drive torque wrench, or an adapter. It's a twelve point oversized socket, and it's built to exceed tool standards. This socket features a lifetime warranty. Now let's go ahead and show you how to use it in a typical situation. We've got our weight distribution system here and we need to torque down our ball.
In order to gain access to it, we're going to go ahead and flip it over, so we can gain access to the nut. As you can see, putting a pipe wrench down there, or any other type of wrench, would be virtually impossible. That's where this socket comes in handy. Lets go ahead and drop the socket in, make sure it gets situated. Then we can take our torque wrench and put it into position.
We'll want to set the torque wrench to whatever our manufacturer recommends for our ball mount. Now we can immobilize the other side of our ball, and begin torquing. If need be, it's not a bad idea to get an extra set of hands to hold your other wrench. Looks like we've got it. Now we can flip it over and continue setting up our weight distribution, or, if this was just a standard ball mount, we'd be ready to tow. That's going to complete our look at the Powerbuilt inch-and-seven-eighths socket with a three-quarter-inch drive, part number ALL643216.

etrailer worked to resolve my missing package with follow-up emails, and direct Customer Support. I received my Powerbuilt Socket Thin Walled 1-7/8" - 3/4 and product woks just it should. Thank you.

I had to return the item. I bought it to tigten the nut on the ball for the equalizer weight distrubution hitch that I bought from etrailer. The WDH is great. But the etrailer socket was too thick, and I had to get the equilizer socket. But I think it was a bit much that only equilizers thin walled socked would work on for the install and that socket was VERY expensive.
by: Robert06/26/2023
The Equalizer products are great….the shipping of 65 pound of Equalizer parts in a 1 cubic foot box, not so much. The UPS driver had a hard time carrying the box to our porch. When he set it down it had a 4” hole in the corner and the 1-3/4” socket was in his hand that had fallen out and, we learned later upon opening the box, the lubricant was missing (see attached photos). To expect anyone to pick up a 65 pound loaded cardboard box with no hand holds is unrealistic thus, the reason for the hole in the box and missing lubricant.
I was impressed with the quality of the hitch and the quick delivery. Also, a call to etrailer explaining my missing lubricant was handled with courtesy and understanding with replacement lubricant headed my way. EXCELLENT customer service….thanks!

Quality socket. I saw some bad reviews saying this won't fit the recessed Equalizer hitch ball nut. Well, you've got to pivot the 2 bar pockets in the head out of the way, then it fits perfect. These aren't easy to move on a new hitch, so get something strong, with plenty of leverage.
by: Benjamin03/25/2024
I purchased an unusual hitch [RP66560] that wouldn't allow a standard wrench to tighten the nut for the hitch ball. This product was absolutely necessary for installation and the price was very fair.
by: Steve08/25/2019
Review for the thin wall 3/4" drive 1 7/8" socket. This was needed for torquing a hitchball to a weight distribution head. The thin wall was just narrow enough to slip onto the nut down in the head. It was snug but came off after torque was set with abit of care. If you have a tight work space such as l did on this application, you must use a thin wall socket. Product appears quality & should last yrs. 5 stars for product & timely shipping from etrailer...

One year update. After using the socket for the last year to check torque, all is as l would hope. No problems using to keep a check on the 430ft pounds required by manufacturer. Looks new. Has a good finish on the socket. No rust marks anywhere. Expected to last years with care.

This is a great socket, I just ordered the wrong one. I’ll return it which I’m sure will be just as quick and easy as their shipping is. I really like how fast everything was shipped out and the updates.
by: Yuval02/03/2024
Gets the job done.
My one complaint is that the agent didn't advise me on getting a socket. So I ended up paying shipping just for the socket.

This socket was a must have for my hitch
by: Blair02/02/2022
This was supposed to be a thin wall socket needed to torque the hitch ball on the equalizer hitch system. Outside diameter of the socket is too big And did not work.Luckily I was able to find a shop 20 miles away from me that was able to mount the hitch ball and torque it correctly For a fee. Wish I would’ve save the money on the socket to go towards paying to get it done.

I reached out to the manufacturer and they have not had consistent reports of this socket being incompatible with Equalizer balls. Equalizer does make a socket that is made for their WD systems. It is part # EQ70-00-4800. It is important to use a ratchet with a three quarter in socket for installation.
by: Jack04/01/2019
Fits the Equalizer trailer system 14,000lb hitch ball bolt perfectly inside the Equalizer hitch head!
And who doesn't like "perfect" with a $40 savings over the Equalizer socket price.
THANKS etrailer.com

Have pulled my 12,000lb toyhauler over 8,000 miles with the new ball and Equalizer system and some of the highways got surprisingly rough with no warning, which really took our rig on a bit of a roller coaster ride a few times but the ball and hitch system worked perfectly. Still like my purchase after putting it through some real world conditions.
by: Richard05/03/2023
Socket performs as expected. I use to to install or replace the ball on certian W/D hitches
by: Perfect!03/20/2019
Amazing quality and worked perfectly on my 14000 lb Equalizer Distribution hitch.. was a 60 second tighten, and was worried this thin wall socket wouldnt fit (silly me)
I purchased a 24ft 3/4 drive torque wrench and that did the trick.
Definitely keeping this aboard on my travel trailer.

Just what I needed to attach a trailer ball to by new equalizer hitch -- it's needed because the nut is recessed within the hitch.

The 3/4" drive 1 1 7/8" thin walled socket was just what I needed for my Equal-i-zer hitch. It was also the best price and fast shipping. My thanks go to etrailer.

I have no problems with the socket after using it several times in the past year. It works very well, and is worth the price.

- Hitch Extension Needed For Towing a Trailer Behind a 2022 Ford F-350 With Slide In CamperTo determine which hitch extension you will need for pulling your trailer behind your 2022 Ford F-350 with the factory 3" receiver while you are carrying a truck bed camper you will need to measure the distance needed for the amount the camper sticks out.

view full answer... - Does The Hitch Ball Come Installed On The 16K Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch?The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ64FR does not come with a hitch ball attached. This is due to the manufacturer not installing the hitch ball from the factory. We pair their hitch with the Ball # EQ54FR as a package to ensure the correct size hitch ball goes with the correct weight distribution hitch ball. You will need the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the hitch ball on the hitch head. It is also needed to verify and check torque while you use the...
view full answer... - Parts Recommended For Reducing Sag While Towing a 30' Travel Trailer With a 2021 Ram 1500The best part you can add to your 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn for towing a 30' travel trailer is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET. This hitch system will not only allow you to redistribute the tongue weight evenly across your Ram and reduce sag but will also add sway prevention to make driving safer. The large surface area on the side of the travel trailer makes it more likely to encounter sway caused by strong winds. This hitch is rated for a trailer with a tongue weight...
view full answer... - Fastway e2 or Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution Hitch For 8,500 lb Travel TrailerBetween the Reese Steadi-Flex and Fastway e2, I recommend the Fastway. They will work very similar with the amounts of sway control they provide, but I like the Fastway better because it is the best overall value, including relative to the Steadi-Flex. That said, the one thing I wanted to mention is the 10,000 lb towing/1,000 lb tongue weight option won't be rated high enough, because tongue weight is around 12 - 15 percent of the GVWR. So instead, go with the 12,000 lb towing/1,200 lb...

This system is also rated for a trailer up to 10,000lbs but has a much wider spread tongue weight capacity of 600-1,000lbs. The Curt # C69JR you found requires 800-1,000lbs of tongue weight which is going to be higher than you are going to have on your trailer. Typically tongue weight should fall around 10-15% of the trailer total weight. With a total weight around 5,350lbs you should...

The difference is how the spring bars attach to the head. You will also need a Shank # BXW4000 to attach the shank to the head. For a hitch ball you will need either a 2" # A-90 or 2-5/16" # C40008 to match your trailer coupler. A 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 is needed...

This is a very simple to use proportional brake controller and it only has a small dash mounted control knob so you will not have a large controller on your dash.

This hitch is rated for a trailer up to 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. It does not include a shank so you will be able to find a shank with the correct amount of drop from the list below. 1/4" to 4" of Drop # EQ90-02-4200 2-1/4" to 6" of Drop # EQ90-02-4300 5-1/4" to 9" of Drop # EQ90-02-4400 8-1/4"...

Your Salem will have left the factory with 720lbs of tongue weight and a maximum GVWR of 10,880lbs.

The main issue for you is the V-nose trailer. This typically limits the installation of a WDH because of the amount of space on the frame. However, with 26" you could use the Fastway system you were looking at. The # FA94-00-1033 is for 600-1,000 lbs of tongue weight so it is a bit much for your setup, instead you will need the # FA94-00-0800. This hitch works for 400-800...

With a dry weight of 3,000 lbs and dry tongue weight of 310 lbs, it is likely you will exceed the max tongue weight of the # FA92-00-0450 (450 lbs) once your truck and trailer are loaded. If you're over the rating of the system then it won't be effective. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your loaded trailer weight. This will also include the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle in your truck. I recommend...
