Protect your interchangeable ball shank, when the ball is not on it, with this shielding cover.
Features:
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to take a look at the Convert-A-Ball cover for the interchangeable shank. Now, this cover will work on any of the shanks that are in the Convert-A-Ball interchangeable ball sets. We do sell those separately on our website. Basically, those ball sets allow you to remove the hitch ball from the shank and replaced with different sizes. So once you take the hitch ball off of the shank, this cover can be installed over the shank, help shield that interchangeable shank against any wear and weather. You can see it as a nice molded flexible plastic.
It's in a black color. It is made in the USA. So again, you just slide this over it and it'll protect it, and when you're ready to put the hitch ball on, just remove it and install your hitch ball. But that should do it for the review on the Convert-A-Ball cover for the interchangeable shank.

Protect your interchangeable ball shank, when the ball is not on it, with this shielding cover.
I purchased the entire Convert-a-Ball outfit with cover and bag. All installation was intuitive. I have been towing farm trailers and swapping balls out in minutes. Having the greasy ball off and shank covered has save some pants. Great product. Added the strip tie for security , probably not necessary.
Purchased with the long shank Convert-A-Ball hitch, and just what is needed for both weather protection and appearance when not towing. The service, helpful videos, and follow up all the way to product delivery, which was on time as promised with this and other orders I have done with etrailer, makes your company a favorite and one I will recommend to others. Good job, etrailer!
I have been using "convert-a-ball" for about 25 to 30 years now, unfortunately, when
I sell the vehicle that it is attached to (after explaining to the new owner), the setup has always gone with the rig . . . I also always get the SS version of them, because of the add'l strength provided & the non rust feature. Wouldn't have anything else.
I still have the original "convert-a-ball" mounted on my 1977 J20 Jeep. Still in use!

LOVE ITTHEM! No need for anything else.
Works great. Been installed for a year
Would expect nothing less than the best quality from Convert-a-Ball - the shank cover is up to their usual high quality.

I would recommend Convert-A-Ball products for anyone.
I love etrailer and their prices, cutomer service etc. but I read the mixed reviews on this cover before I bought it, and decided to give it a try regardless of the reservations I had about it not fitting snuggly enough to stay on in day to day conditions, and how easily it can be stolen. well I have to say I'm disappointed now that I received it. the fit is extremely loose, there is now way it would have lasted more than a couple blocks without falling off, and surely no chance at highway speeds! I even tried to use a heat gun to see if I could shrink it tighter onto the ball mount, but all it did was make this type of rubber more pliable, which in turn worsened the problem until it cooled. never the less, great concept, bad design. save your money
I have looked all over my town and nearby towns, but they don't carry these interchangeable balls. Due to having a very high truck, my drop down is very long. The interchangeable balls will make trailer changes much easier. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and with the delivery time.
I keep the ball stud greased and this keeps it so that it doesn't get all over things
If you do not want dust (aka known as abrasive) on the unit, as well as a cool looking addition -- the cover is for you! They do make a pretty fair profit, I am sure, on perhaps less than a dime's worth of plastic -- but, I deemed it such a worthwhile extravagance :) --I purchased one each for my several units.
Great product, keeps the interior storage area of my truck clean while my receiver hitch is being stored.
Convert a ball shank coverNice, high quality, snug fitting cover to protect your convert a ball shank when you do not have your towing balls attached. Helps keep shank clean, and prevents rust and oxidization
I ask him how he liked his convert a ball and he said “ I love it!”.
Take THAT to the bank. I rarely hear anything near that response.
This item fits tightly over the pin when convert-a-ball itself is not on. Ordering and delivery was quick and easy and was on time. I would shop at e-trailers again
Great product, this makes it easy to switch any ball if you are using different trailers from time to time. Fast shipping and good price.
If you have a Convert-A-Ball setup, get one of these to ensure that your shank stays clean of debris and grime. It fits snugly, and is FAR better than an old tennis ball!
]Convert-a-ball shank cover and ball storage container. Both items are great and worth the good price paid for each.
awesome service
Great product
thanks for the follow up, I haven't used the hitch accessory much but when I have I've been totally happy with it. Very pleased with everything.

Thanks Laura, still working great. Thanks for your product interest support.
Great protective cover for the convert-a-ball shank, helps to prevent corrosion too!
Keep your tow shank greased and ready for use without worries of grease getting on your clothes. Protects it from rusting from rain & car washes. Looks great and fits snug enough to stay in place.
Fits snugly and looks great!
Looks good on the hitch will no ball is there.
Nice cover for the new hitch!

Absolutely love this product. I have two utility trailers with different hitch sizes and this has been so much more convenient than having to switch receivers. The case and hitch cover are a MUST to complete the set. Very, Very pleased and, as always, you folks have excellent service and support.
Ordered a black one got the grey, don't matter returning from my first trip it was no longer attached, looks like the wind blew it off in spite of firmly putting it in place
