I thought the magnetic hitch pin was a great idea, but resisted getting it for years. Now that I have it, I say meh. Her is why:
- The magnet is not strong enough to use the pin as a handle on an empty cart, 10P or 17S.
- The magnet is not strong enough to hold my chain harrow.
Compared to the standard bent pin, it is superior. Compared to the Hillman heavy duty D handle ones, it is easier since the little pin is not needed. But I have an ez hitch pin like this one:
The Hillman hitch pin, comes in different sizes.

good points ! i love the idea of not having to put the lock cotter pin, it reminds me of my car when i have to change the hitch, the pin is always with grease or some other dirt
