5/8" Hitch pins

[chrispartida]

Has anyone got a recommendation for a fail-safe hitch pin?

I have front and rear receivers, and picked up a winch on a cradle recently. I don't want to find myself the subject in one of those sheared hitch pin horror stories I hear about every so often (though, I've never seen photos).

Can you recommend any brands that have rated steel, and aren't pot metal poured in a third world country?
Locking options would be great too.

Thanks all!

Go to an agriculture equipment store like tractor supply.

I have been to multiple retail stores. Wondering if it gets better than Reese or Curt?

Yeah, you can get higher grade hitch pins from tractor supply for farm implements but if you shear a reece or curt hitch pin, you violated a number of common sense safety rules.
