Its only a dry lube thats applied to the surfaces of the pin box and hitch plates to reduce friction. It comes in both spray can and brush on form.

Well not the same result, but still one to remember. In hooking up to haul FW to storage last week I got in a hurry and after hooking up forgot to install the hitch lock pin. I did visually verify the jaws were around the pin and did a pull test. Then drove @ 10 miles on some rough roads to storage location. Why it never came unhitched I'm not sure unless the spring loaded jaw pressure kept it from releasing. Very lucky and nothing I want to press my luck doing again.

When the jaws shut, and are closed, the jaws cannot open. They are blocked from opening, physically blocked. The pin just keeps the arm from being knocked open or opened by accident. But the jaws will not open until the handle is pulled.

You have made me feel "disenfranchised" since I don't have a B&W hitch!
Seriously, I've been considering getting one, but I have a 15 year old Husky hitch with a Blue Ox Bedsaver and it just keeps working. Wonder if these hitches eventually wear out?
By the way, I'm guilty of never doing a pull test. The Husky is a single jaw hitch, so I just use a flashlight to make sure the jaw is wrapped around the pin.Last edited by dryfly; 05-30-2023 at 01:31 PM.

Have you lubed your B&W jaws - there are two zerks if I remember and always do a pull test with the landing gear down, just off the pavement (catches the trailer it it comes out). Last always visually inspect the jaws and arm is closed and pin fully inserted. It's all in the owners manual. Might read up on it.
