I have owned a few sets of these and they hold up well if you keep them clean.The most recent set is over a year old and has really not been out in bad weather.

YES! They'll rust bad after about 2yrs. Even if you try keeping wax on them. The steel has alot of carbon witch is what makes them tuff and it makes them rust pit. If your worried about the appearence buy something else. I chucked these, they just got to looking too bad and I got tired of cleaning rust stains off my mags.

On the East Coast and had no problems. This one has been on about 6 months also, my other vehicles have had Reese hitches on them with no rust issues for years.

I'm happy for the owners with no rust but nearly 6-8 pieces that I own have rusting at the top of the design. I took a chance and lost when ordering this set. I feel you're taking a chance as well if you order this set. Good luck!

I installed mine last summer and used my trailer off and on over the winter and never had a problem. The gears fit tight and even when towing at 65mph I never noticed any water getting into and\or freezing in the unit. Nor did I ever see moisture in the storage areas. They do seem to be lubed well and that may help keep the water out. But this is the same type of locking gear used on bicycle locks that have been around for years I still have a lock from the early 80s that is a similar lock design and it works as good today as it did 25 years ago.The one thing I have noticed is that in less then a year the black paint faded and oxidized. But I live in SE WA and we have 300+ days of sun. I installed mine last summer and used my trailer off and on over the winter and never had a problem.

They definitely look like they can withstand some winter abuse. Having said that, I live in CO and took mine off for the winter. Didn't want snow/rain getting inside the metal mechanism.

I had my wheel for about a year and it has not shown any sign of rust yet. It is still in very good shape at this point in time.

We have 2. One actually broke after 4 months. I replaced it. The other has been up for 6 months. Really can't find anything else that looks ok and doesn't rust.

I haven't had any problems with rust on my pizza wheel. How long have you had your pizza wheel?

I haven't seen any problems yet. I think I will be able to use these hundreds of time. I use the non- rusting T-pins. This has been working out fantastically.

I looked at the photo the buyer from Texas posted, and the "rust" looks more like burnt on grease to me. Nothing a Scotchbrite pad couldn't handle. I'll upload a photo of the area where the handle touches the shank. It's spread apart so you can see that area more clearly. I've used these maybe 50 or 60 times since I bought them. If rust was going to form anywhere, it would start in this area. I don't put them in a dishwasher either. They clean up easily enough by hand.

I have them on a trailer in Montgomery, AL. They are holding up fine, but water does get into the bolt area and has created some rust. We'll see how long they last...I've had them about 1 year now.

The low price of $5.90 is for "4" lug nuts. I had the same question when I bought some replacements lug nuts for my Jeep GC. I don't know why Amazon doesn't specify the quantity. These are chromed lug nuts, not stainless steel or capped nuts. I installed my new set and they look great.

Peter,I'm a truck owner not a parts dealer. My experience is if it's a tough job to replace go with a brand name, not a discount.question how long they will last and if I want to do this job over in a few months ??

So far so good!! I'm a little surprised though with some rust spots on the frame, I would have thought that this wouldn't occur as they are used out doors.? But no sign of threads coming loose ! I have been using them all summer. Good luck with yours!

I've had mine since November 2013 and I have not seen any rust, I also haven't rolled over any puddles. So far so good.

I have had them for probably4 months and they haven't yet. It seems like they are coated with something to prevent rusting? (By the way they feel.)

Make sure both treads are driving. Check to see if there is any hair or any type of debris tangling up one side of the treads. Or check to see that nothing has rusted out yet. Mine died after 2 seasons because the driveshaft rusted apart on me. The pin that goes through the driveshaft to catch the tread cog was of a different metal than the driveshaft and rusted out from Galvanic Corrosion. Basically poor and cheap engineering. Would not surprise if similar oversights happened elsewhere in the machine.
