I have used this pin and well tested it to limits, it has been used hauling under heavy loads of gravel, wood chips and logs. And arguably under greater rigour pulling a chipper in rocky and uneven terrain. I could not be happier with this products ability as a hitch pin. As for the locking mechanism, it is simple and effective, but only as a minor deterrent as it can not withstand force. Should you happen to loose the key, worry not my fellow adventure for a few basic hammer blows to the side of the locking head and it will easily sacome. Over all, it should stop most would be theif but a determined or learned rogue no more then a few moments.
