Product details
Generic 50 mm tow ball cap – black rubber towbar cover
Small, simple and surprisingly useful. This rubber cap slips over a standard 50 mm towball to keep dirt, moisture and road salt off the metal and stops grease ending up on your hands or the driveway. No faffing with clips or tools — just push it on between trips and pull it off when you need to hitch up. A proper little lifesaver in winter when salt and wet weather speed up corrosion.
features
- Material: flexible rubber with soft elasticity and age-resistant properties, so it keeps its shape and resists cracking.
- Size: made for 50 mm towballs; overall height approx. 6 cm for neat, full coverage.
- Colour: black — discreet and practical.
- Weight: very light at about 51 g, so it won’t add bulk to your kit.
- Easy to use: simple push-on design fits most standard hitches on cars, vans, caravans and trailers.
how this helps you
Leave a towball exposed and it’ll collect grit, rain and road salt — which means rust, sticky muck and grubby hands. This cap keeps the grease where it should be and the grime well away. Handy for short-term storage, after a muddy job, or when you’d rather not spend ages cleaning before a trip. It’s not an anti-theft device, just straightforward protection that saves time and hassle.

Does it affect towing? No — but remember to remove it before hitching up. If your ball looks an odd size or has an adaptor fitted, double-check the measurements first. It’s a small, inexpensive accessory that saves a surprising amount of bother: fewer greasy hands, less rust and quicker prep when you’re heading off with a caravan or trailer.
