Socket for Installing 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball

Question:

So I see you guys referencing a socket to fit. Do you also have just a plain hitch wrench?

While we do not have a wrench with a 1-7/8" end, we do have the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216. This would work, although it does require a 3/4" drive socket wrench which you would need to source at a local hardware store.

The 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 I referenced would be the only option we carry. The only wrench we currently offer is the Hex Wrench for Trailer Hitch Balls with 3/4" or 1" Diameter Shanks # C20001 which has a 1-1/8" end and 1-1/2" end but not the 1-7/8" end you are seeking; you should easily be able to source a wrench like you need at your local hardware store.
