May 31st, 2018 Update: Just found out that 2018 Chevy 2500 truck has the same issue. So I guess you could call this a hammerlock solution for Chevy and Ford hitches.

Purchased these for our 2018 GMC 2500HD Duramax.
Watched a Youtube review on these and then purchased. They are a must have. Makes hooking up safety chains so easy.
I placed these on the back section of my safety chain box so they are out of sight. You don't notice them unless you are looking for them.
When installing I would suggest tapping the pin all the way through a few times to loosen the center section before installing. It makes installing them a lot easier.
We placed a 2x4 behind Hammerlock and then tapped the pin through. 2x4 rest against the hitch then tapped pin through.
Total install time was less than 10 mins.
I would highly recommend this product.

Was a pain to get these in on the back of the F350. But what I found to make it much easier was to grind just a bit more bevel on one side. This way when hammering them in, they would align the sleeve perfectly every time. Once I ground the bit more bevel, install was a breeze.

As great as my 2017 Ford F-250 is, the hitch design is stupid. These hammerlocks are what you need. Installation a little tricky. Make sure all parts are lined up EXACTLY before you tap the pin thru for final assembly. Also, I assembled the hammerlock on my bench and took it apart a couple of times and it made it easier to assemble on the hitch. Great product,

I was able to get them installed without issue by tilting the bottom of the hammerlock towards the front of the truck bracing it up against the area of the hitch behind the holes...few taps later and they were in!

I'm having a heck of a time getting these installed...I'm beating up my hitch trying to hammer the pin through...could I press it through with a 6" C-clamp?
Hi Jeff,
Normally these hammerlocks are installed on chain products, with more space to work on them, and likely on a solid surface to work on. Not under a vehicle!
We are working on figuring out ways to help you install these, we will update as we have more info.

On the 2017 and up F250 models, Ford designed the receiver chain hook ups a little weird. The 1/2 Hammerlock was the PERFECT modification to make this process of chain hook ups a snap! Highly recommend and no worries about getting them stolen either.

I researched several alternatives for my trailer's safety chain hooks to attach to my truck. The 1/2 inch Grade 80's look nice and are safe. They were a little hard to get together.

Had to have these added to my hitch for trailer safety chain hooks, fit perfectly and allow me to use trailers with different sized hooks. These are extremely strong and well made.
