Jake: Hey, guys. It's Jake here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement pin for your SMI braking system.In our case here, we had a customer who had a breakaway, and the tow vehicle had separated from the towed vehicle, and he lost the breakaway pin. So, he's picking up a new one. To replace this, you just slide it back in and replace your cable. This is very important to have, because otherwise, your system's not going to work.You want to make sure you keep your pin in good condition, so whether that's you've lost one, you've broken one, or it's just gotten older and brittle and you need to replace it.
It's a simple and small enough part to keep on hand for those longer trips, so you might want to go ahead and pick up a couple of them when you get your system or when you get a replacement.Then of course before you leave, you want to make sure you hook up your safety cable and you're ready to hit the road. With that being said, that's going to do it for our look and installation of our SMI replacement pin.

I bought it as a "spare" for piece of mind when towing. Someone could easily remove it as a "prank" when parked and then you are stuck without flat towing capability. Small price to pay when you consider the potential inconvenience.
Always want to have an extra if it is lost you can’t use the breaking system
Haven’t installed snap pads yet but they look great!
Spare break-away key key fits perfectly in our Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo system!
It’s exactly what I needed to have for my Demco braking system.
Love working with etrailer. Staff is knowledgeable and products delivered when promised.
Received exactly what I ordered and quickly! Great service and follow up from Etrailer. Highly recommend them for anything you need for towing.
Accurate replacement and delivered on-time as promised…Thank you!
Bought it as a spare
Exact replacement for original lost cap. Thanks
Etrailer is so easy to do business with... and they provide a complete line of products at great prices.
Great price. Quick shipping. Purchased as a spare, just in case, you never know!
Got what I needed very quickly
I keep one for a backup in case someone steals mine.
This is not my first order from etrailer. Etrailer always seems to have what I’m looking for, they price fairly, they ship almost immediately and deliveries arrive on time or earlier. I’m a fan.
Ordered pin for Emergency Break away for our Toad vehicle as a spare it was exactly what was needed.
Needed a spare to carry
The product is a perfect match for the stay and play braking system. Like everyone else I was apprehensive at someone stealing the unsecured original and leaving us without brakes. I’m not thrilled that if it does get stolen and the toggle switch inside the side gets accidentally turned on the brakes will fully apply.
Seems a liability so having a back up makes sense to me and most everyone else.

Update: if your tow car has a standard transmission with hill brake assist do not adjust so much that the hill brake assist comes on. It doesn’t release quickly enough and your tow car brakes will lock up for a scary second or two
Was right part and delivered as promised
Part fit well on my Blue Ox breakaway switch. I tested to see if worked. Performed as designed. The cable attachment looks kind of funky. I replaced it with a small clevis.

Fine
This item works fine. but the price about doubled from the last time I purchased one. There is a real problem with these getting stolen.

Good
Excellent idea to have a backup!
Reliable system.
Replacing our old breakaway switch pin which, while never used in anger (breakaway) had frayed wiring from getting dragged on concrete at one point. Worked as advertised, easy to reinstall new pin, delivery on time.
I ordered an extra breakaway pin to keep as back up after installing a Demco Stay-in-play brake system I am very pleased with the Demco brake system and also with the prompt and accurate service provided by etralier.com in providing the breakaway pin. Great service. Thanks.

I bought this breakaway pin for my vehicle when it is not being towed to keep dirt and sand out and it fits perfectly.
