Thought I would pay more for these than the other 30 something ones and sure they are the same. I could weld better when I was 13 years old. and it's obviously stick welded, and they are cold. I will be going to ee trailer and getting real ones. The flats aren't straight either so they will try and straighten during acceleration and eventually crack. 2 stars because they meet the dimensions advertised and fit the tow bar

This is a relatively inexpensive alternative to a Blue Ox flat tow base plate. Easy to install and gets the job done. I recommend.
