The demonstration by Proven needs to be taken with a small grain of salt. If I were trying to remove that lock, I would attack the weakest point: The aluminum puck lock.
It's open at the bottom to allow insertion of the key. So if you could get a large crow bar in from underneath, it might not take a huge amount of force to pry off the puck from the bottom. I still think it's the best coupler lock though. |

It's $15 shipping, so you save $5. I'm thinking of getting one. If you watch the Proven Industries video, you can see how easily they pry off those other coupler locks. Thanks for the link GlueGuy

A lot to be said for piece of mind, especially on a relaxing camping trip! We figure better to have it then not! |

After checking it out, I'm about to order the provenlock mod 2178 for $215.Unless somebody can convince me otherwise. It looks like it will give me peace of mind.

Most people believe the Proven Industries coupler lock is the best. It is also the most expensive.
A couple of comparisons: https://procarreviews.com/best-tow-hitch-lock/ http://notsealed.com/top-4-trailer-hitch-coupler-lock-reviewed-proven-industries-reese-master.html |
