Its worth the money spent.

I haven't been rear ended in over 30 years. I bought a new $65,000 Wrangler 4xe and immediately put this in the hitch just in case. I wish it could be both a step and protection but it's not a step. During rush hour in the first week of ownership of my new Jeep a school bus rear ended a Ford Escort that a 16 year old girl was driving. She didn't hit her breaks so she hit the rear of my Jeep. I barely felt a thing. Her radiator was on the pavement, front grill pushed in. A mess. My Jeep however, didn't have a single scratch. Even the Hitchhammer was in perfect condition. I put on an extension hitch piece of "7 just to make sure nothing could come close to hitting the rear tire. That would have damaged the rear door significantly. The Hitchhammer is amazing and worth 10x its cost. I love it.

I purchased this item to act as a push device more than a protection device. Looks to be durable and made of very tough material. Very well-made. Happy I made the purchase. having a removable 2 inch receiver Added to the front of my Tahoe to accept this for pushing if needed.

Works well saves the bumper from hitting a wall made well

My biggest concern is a low speed hit at red lights and stop signs. The idiot that loves to run up to you bumper and then slow down just before they come to a stop has always been a problem for me. Just drive around and look at the bumper of other drivers. I have always used flush mounted patriotic hitch covers which I prefer but when I purchased an expensive 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4X4 with a V8 engine I wanted that extra protection at red lights and stop signs. It is a nice looking vehicle but having a standard trailer hitch sticking out took away from the appearance. I figured if hit at high speed it will not matter what you have for protection. This Hitch adds a little more class to the look of your vehicle. The reason I chose to give a 4 star rating is only because I wish it were all black without the yellow. Other reviews have mentioned the same concern. Overall I would recommend this item for purchase. Just switched today to a 5 star 2/2/19. Realized the yellow does stand out and people notice it while getting close to you. I have had comments on the hitch and apologize for the original rating of 4.

So we've had kids forget and step on this but it is still hanging in there. The guard itself has actually caused people to not park with their bumper on mine. Which was a rare annoyance but now isn't an issue. An unexpected benefit!

Only 3 stars due to non responsive customer service. I bought 2 hitch hammers, one with and the other without the reflector. Decided after installation I'd like to purchase a second reflector. Tried multiple times via several ways to contact the company but got no response. I hate to send the 10lb hitch hammer back for a simple reflector but seems Euro bumper guard has given me no choice.
