Video Transcript for Powerbuilt 12 Point Socket with 3/4 Inch Drive Review
Today we'll be taking a look at the Powerbuilt inch-and-seven-eights three-quarter-inch drive socket, part number ALL643216. This socket is ideal for tightening down hinge balls to ball mounts, or weight distribution heads. It's a three-quarter inch drive, so you need to be sure that you have a three-quarter inch drive torque wrench, or an adapter. It's a twelve point oversized socket, and it's built to exceed tool standards. This socket features a lifetime warranty. Now let's go ahead and show you how to use it in a typical situation. We've got our weight distribution system here and we need to torque down our ball.
In order to gain access to it, we're going to go ahead and flip it over, so we can gain access to the nut. As you can see, putting a pipe wrench down there, or any other type of wrench, would be virtually impossible. That's where this socket comes in handy. Lets go ahead and drop the socket in, make sure it gets situated. Then we can take our torque wrench and put it into position.
We'll want to set the torque wrench to whatever our manufacturer recommends for our ball mount. Now we can immobilize the other side of our ball, and begin torquing. If need be, it's not a bad idea to get an extra set of hands to hold your other wrench. Looks like we've got it. Now we can flip it over and continue setting up our weight distribution, or, if this was just a standard ball mount, we'd be ready to tow. That's going to complete our look at the Powerbuilt inch-and-seven-eighths socket with a three-quarter-inch drive, part number ALL643216.

1-7/8" SAE thin walled socket with a 3/4" drive should be used with a compatible socket wrench (sold separately) to apply torque when installing a hitch ball on a ball mount or weight distribution head. Steel construction resists corrosion.by: Michael05/02/2024
I had to return the item. I bought it to tigten the nut on the ball for the equalizer weight distrubution hitch that I bought from etrailer. The WDH is great. But the etrailer socket was too thick, and I had to get the equilizer socket. But I think it was a bit much that only equilizers thin walled socked would work on for the install and that socket was VERY expensive.
by: Robert06/26/2023
The Equalizer products are great….the shipping of 65 pound of Equalizer parts in a 1 cubic foot box, not so much. The UPS driver had a hard time carrying the box to our porch. When he set it down it had a 4” hole in the corner and the 1-3/4” socket was in his hand that had fallen out and, we learned later upon opening the box, the lubricant was missing (see attached photos). To expect anyone to pick up a 65 pound loaded cardboard box with no hand holds is unrealistic thus, the reason for the hole in the box and missing lubricant.
I was impressed with the quality of the hitch and the quick delivery. Also, a call to etrailer explaining my missing lubricant was handled with courtesy and understanding with replacement lubricant headed my way. EXCELLENT customer service….thanks!
by: Smithsonite11/22/2022
Quality socket. I saw some bad reviews saying this won't fit the recessed Equalizer hitch ball nut. Well, you've got to pivot the 2 bar pockets in the head out of the way, then it fits perfect. These aren't easy to move on a new hitch, so get something strong, with plenty of leverage.

Just what I needed to torque my hitch ball down. Worked perfectly!

I purchased an unusual hitch [RP66560] that wouldn't allow a standard wrench to tighten the nut for the hitch ball. This product was absolutely necessary for installation and the price was very fair.
by: Steve08/25/2019
Review for the thin wall 3/4" drive 1 7/8" socket. This was needed for torquing a hitchball to a weight distribution head. The thin wall was just narrow enough to slip onto the nut down in the head. It was snug but came off after torque was set with abit of care. If you have a tight work space such as l did on this application, you must use a thin wall socket. Product appears quality & should last yrs. 5 stars for product & timely shipping from etrailer...

One year update. After using the socket for the last year to check torque, all is as l would hope. No problems using to keep a check on the 430ft pounds required by manufacturer. Looks new. Has a good finish on the socket. No rust marks anywhere. Expected to last years with care.
by: Edward11/21/2023
The socket worked great with my equalizer hitch ball installment its thin walled but very strong
by: Shelley 05/08/2024
Exactly what we were looking for an we had not been able to find it anywhere else! Quality is great!
by: Rachel03/17/2024
This is a great socket, I just ordered the wrong one. I’ll return it which I’m sure will be just as quick and easy as their shipping is. I really like how fast everything was shipped out and the updates.
by: Yuval02/03/2024
Gets the job done.
My one complaint is that the agent didn't advise me on getting a socket. So I ended up paying shipping just for the socket.
Don't buy the overly priced socket from

Socket performs as expected. I use to to install or replace the ball on certian W/D hitches

Very good quality socket and quick delivery…what I have come to expect from trailer!
by: Blaine 03/07/2023
Used this for my Equalizer W/D hitch ball. Fit great and did precisely what it was made for.
by: David08/03/2023
Made life much easier, thanks Etrailer for the recommendation
by: Nick12/11/2022
The socket is heavy duty but it will not fit in my fastway E2 hitch as described. I ended up having to pay $160 to get my local camper dealer to setup my hitch.
by: Michael 12/10/2022
The customer service is out of this world. The hitch was easy to install and works great. The only problem was trying to find a 3/4 torque wrench to torque the hitch ball to 430 ft/lbs. very pleased
by: Blair02/02/2022
This was supposed to be a thin wall socket needed to torque the hitch ball on the equalizer hitch system. Outside diameter of the socket is too big And did not work.Luckily I was able to find a shop 20 miles away from me that was able to mount the hitch ball and torque it correctly For a fee. Wish I would’ve save the money on the socket to go towards paying to get it done.

I reached out to the manufacturer and they have not had consistent reports of this socket being incompatible with Equalizer balls. Equalizer does make a socket that is made for their WD systems. It is part # EQ70-00-4800. It is important to use a ratchet with a three quarter in socket for installation.
by: Jeff 04/05/2023
Socket fit the receiver and worked well to torque receiver ball to specs.

Worked Great!
by: Jack04/01/2019
Fits the Equalizer trailer system 14,000lb hitch ball bolt perfectly inside the Equalizer hitch head!
And who doesn't like "perfect" with a $40 savings over the Equalizer socket price.
THANKS etrailer.com

Have pulled my 12,000lb toyhauler over 8,000 miles with the new ball and Equalizer system and some of the highways got surprisingly rough with no warning, which really took our rig on a bit of a roller coaster ride a few times but the ball and hitch system worked perfectly. Still like my purchase after putting it through some real world conditions.
by: Perfect!03/20/2019
Amazing quality and worked perfectly on my 14000 lb Equalizer Distribution hitch.. was a 60 second tighten, and was worried this thin wall socket wouldnt fit (silly me)
I purchased a 24ft 3/4 drive torque wrench and that did the trick.
Definitely keeping this aboard on my travel trailer.

Great! This is a lifetime part. After pulling my TT 6,000 miles if only had to tighten once using this product
by: DrPcFix06/10/2019
Just what I needed to attach a trailer ball to by new equalizer hitch -- it's needed because the nut is recessed within the hitch.

Ball stayed tight from NY to TX and back. What more could you ask for!
by: RonW04/13/2019
The 3/4" drive 1 1 7/8" thin walled socket was just what I needed for my Equal-i-zer hitch. It was also the best price and fast shipping. My thanks go to etrailer.

I have no problems with the socket after using it several times in the past year. It works very well, and is worth the price.

- Curt or Fastway Weight Distribution for Trailer that Weighs 3,000 lb DryThe Curt and Fastway kits are pretty similar and were designed both as replicas of the very popular Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems which are very effective and considered by many to be the best option out there. What's interesting though is the at Fastway is made by same company as Equal-i-zer so they are able to copy the design the closest. Overall we see fewer issues with Fastway kits over Curt kits so that would be the route I would recommend. Since you want to go with a weight...
view full answer... - Recommended Sway Control for 4,200 TrailerThe Curt Friction Sway Control for Weight Distribution Systems # 17200 is a good option to assist with sway control if you already have a weight distribution system or if you have a ball mount that is able to use Sway Control # RP26003. A better option would be to get a weight distribution system with sway control like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0800. This is rated for total tongue weights between 400 and 800 lbs. That total tongue weight is...
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Controller and Weight Distribution System for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica and Pop-Up CamperIt is not required to have brakes on a 2,000 lb trailer, but it is also not a bad idea especially because your Pacifica isn't much larger. With the tow package, you already have the factory 7-way so I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller # C51180 which uses a mobile app and won't add wiring in your Pacifica. However, if you prefer the physical adjustment and manual override then I recommend the Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR. This brake controller offers a very clean factory...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for 2008 Fleetwood Evolution E3 Trailer and 2018 Ford F-150 RaptorYour 2008 Fleetwood Evolution E3 has an unloaded hitch weight of 395 lbs; when you add the loaded cargo a weight distribution system would definitely help especially with sway control and additional weight of whatever you will load on the cargo deck. Assuming you have that cargo deck for a reason and will be transporting something of decent weight I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # EQ37100ET which is rated for...
view full answer... - Towing Compatibility of 2014 Ford F-150 with HD Tow Package and Travel Trailer with GVWR 7805I didn't get your truck sticker photo, but with your trailer GVWR of 7805, the only models that won't pull that trailer are the 3.7L 4-Valve V6. So, if you have the 5.0L, the 3.5L, or the 6.2L you will be just fine. I do recommend using a weight distribution system with that large a trailer to not only reduce sag with your truck but also help with sway control. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET...

- Recommended Equalizer Weight Distribution System For a Camper With GVWR of 5,000LBS Tongue WT 550LBSI do recommend stepping up to the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET for your camper. With the tongue weight of 550lbs with LP and batteries you are very close to the 600lb limit of the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET before you add any of your gear. Since the main storage area on a camper is the front compartment that is where most of the weight will end up. The Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET ensures you do not bend the load bars and lose your sway control...

Ideally you go with a system that has a tongue weight range that your trailer's loaded tongue weight falls right in the middle of. For that the best solution is the Equal-i-zer kit part # EQ37100ET which has a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,000 lbs.

- Equalizer Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 7,000 lb TrailerEqualizer Weight Distribution Systems like part # EQ37100ET would work well for towing your 7000 lb trailer. You need to pick out a system that is rated for the loaded tongue weight of your setup though. Keep in mind that any cargo loaded behind the rear axle of the truck is tongue weight. For a 7,000 lb trailer you would be looking at a tongue weight range of between 700 and 1,050 lbs which would fall right into the range of the # EQ37100ET but most likely you would need to go with a...
view full answer... - How to Determine if Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution EQ37100ET Would be Rated for Westwind WT251The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Most likely the part # EQ37100ET...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System for Class III Hitch on 2018 Ford F-150If you use a weight distribution system (WD) with Curt Class III hitch # C86HR the hitch's maximum gross trailer weight rating increases from 6K to 10K, and its tongue weight (TW) rating increases from 900-lbs to 1000-lbs. These weight capacities increase with WD since the load on the hitch is better shared between the two axles. This hitch fits the 2015 - 2019 Ford F-150 and the 2017 - 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor without a factory hitch. If you have a different hitch you'll want to check...

This is a class III receiver which will accept a 2" ball mount. As your trailer has a 4-way flat connector you will need the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331. Since the trailer has a 4-way it will not have electric trailer brakes. I highly recommend using a Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600. This hitch is rated for trailer up to 6,000lbs with a tongue weight of 250-600lbs. It will...

The Equal-i-zer is rated for trailers with a tongue weight range of 200-600lbs. It can be used with a trailer that weighs up to 6,000lbs so you will be able to use it with other trailers if you decide to get something bigger. This will also give you a sway control system that will help keep your Haulmark trailer tracking straight when on the highway. It resists...

Based on the total tongue weight of the loaded trailer and gear behind the rear axle, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # EQ37060ET. This system has the 2 inch hitch ball as well as the total tongue weight range between 200 and 600 lbs. This will put you in the middle of that range to be an ideal fit. This system uses metal on metal friction in 4 places to reduce sway for...

Then add the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle. That gives you the total tongue weight to consider. You want that weight to fall near the middle of the range of the weight distribution system you choose. If your total TW is over 400 lbs. I recommend the Equali-i-zer weight distribution,...

I prefer the Equal-i-zer as it has a built in sway control that does not need to be removed to maneuver your trailer. And it has stood the test of time as being one of the most dependable systems available. It includes a drop shank that ranges from a 3" drop to a 7" rise.

I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4315 as it has a maximum drop of 9-3/4" when used with a trunnion system like the # FA92-00-0800 which will make it the best option for ground clearance and still able to level your...

The RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD will help to keep you Silverado level but it will not help prevent any trailer sway which is inherently more dangerous than having a suspension that sags.

This receiver is rated for a trailer capacity up to 11,000lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,100lbs. You will need to be sure that the 7,500lb RV will not exceed the maximum towing capability of your F-150. I do recommend using a weight distribution hitch with your RV.

Ideally the loaded tongue weight of your towing setup falls right in the middle of the range of the WD system. Keep in mind that tongue weight also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

You are at a weight that falls in between 2 different systems(listed below) so you will want to select the one depending on if 600lbs is your dry tongue weight or if that is the maximum loaded tongue weight.

If that is the case, you can use the following replacement parts to complete the system: -Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4100 -Replacement Head for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems # FA94-02-1055 -Replacement Hardware Kit for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Head # FA92-02-9600 If...

The Draw Tite part # DT82QR is also and since it has higher towing capacities it's the hitch I would recommend.
