 Expensive for what it is August 23, 2010

Bought this because I was concerned that just securing a rack with 5 bikes via one secrew was a recipe for disaster on a long road trip, but the pin didn't loosen at all during our recent trip and I assume the original pin which came with the rack would have stayed securely fastened too. If someone wants to steal a rack, they'll find a way and this won't stop them, but it provides peace of mind by adding a second thing that has to break before your rack falls off the car if the screw fails.

This is a must have if you have something valuable on your hitch. It's a little pricey, but what can you do.

If you have a thule hitch mounted rack you honestly need to spend the money and install this. People will steal your rack, they have value in the "re-sale" market or for their own use. This will prevent that.

Thule makes exceptional products. This is not one of them. Use 3' length of chain or braided cable with a sturdy padlock to the frame of your hitch receiver assembly. This is a locking nut that can be easily broken or pryed off by a thief with simple tools.
Snug-Tite Thule's better idea? A waste of money, an accessory that should have been standard. February 24, 2010

I had to reluctantly replace my old Sportworks rack (moved and had no room to transport it)and found that the simple hitch pin/theft deterrent system Sportworks used has not been carried over by Thule. Instead Thule supplies a 12mm x 40mm short threaded bolt. Then I discovered that Thule wants $50 for a hitch pin bolt w/a cheesy looking yuppie lock "system".
Sporkworks utilized a simple and practical partially threaded hex head bolt w/a hole on opposite end for attaching a small padlock or cotter pin, simple easy, no rattle w/lock washer and impossible for the pin to completely back off.
So I purchased a 12mm dia x 80mm long partially threaded bolt $2.25 that would extend thru the receiver, drilled a hole (you'll want a drill press) that would accommodate a small padlock $1.50 and presto I had an IMO a secure, rattle free "locking hitch pin". The benefit is the bolt extends thru the receiver so the lock is on the opposite side in the event the bolt unthreads it will not come out due to the pad lock and you will not loose your rack & bikes on the road.
I am disappointed that Thule did not provide this type of simple bolt set up like Sportworks did as original equipment. The Snug-Tite one key could have remained an option for those who care about such things but a $400.00 rack should come w/a a basic securing system that has a lock & loss prevention capability. Thinking about it I've never seen a hitch pin that did not extend thru the receiver so a cotter pin could not be used to prevent pin loss.
If I had to do it over I'd buy a KUAT brand Sherpa or better the NV, they come complete w/integrated hitch & bike locks for the same price, the NV has a built in repair stand. Anybody want to buy my once used Thule T-2?
