Anyone here use the 5100 tow ball and pin?

Hi guys does anyone on here use the britpart 5100 ball and pin hitch, looks better than most I’ve seen and prefer the look on this one more than others? Any good? Alright to use on a 2005 110?

I did like the look them but I went for the Dixon Bate hitch.

it look identical to the dixon bate ball and pin am I missing something? Will also admit I have never bought a new tow ball they have always come with other parts/vehicles I have bought.

Two types of ball and pin one with pin through ball and other with pin behind ball.
I have used the DA5100 pin through ball type for many years, only thing I say is keep pin and it's release button well lubed.

That makes sense, my original search for britpart 5100 only came up with the pin behind style which is why I was asking. The only real difference between them in terms of practical usage surely is the distance the ball is from the vehicle which if you carry the spare on the door makes a deference and the further away (within reason) the better.
