7 Pin over 7 Blade Which One is Better and Why?
Question:
7 pin vs 7 blade Is one better than the other and why? Thanks for your time.
asked by: Earl
Expert Reply:
I would say the 7 blade connector is better and that answer is based on availability and common use. The 7-Way blade style trailer connector is the most common 7-Way in use at this time. If you are making a choice today I would recommend going with a 7 blade like the Hopkins Endurance item # HM48470. However, if you already have a 7-Way round connector you can just use an adapter like the Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter 7-Way item # HM47425 when needed.
