Looking for a good trailer plug

I am tire of buying the cheaply made plastic 7 way plugs that I get at the parts stores. Anybody know where a good metal one is?

Duh on my part. Sometimes the simplest ideas are there, just should think a little more before I post

What about a truck parts place or truck stop. There are several here locally that sell all kinds of plugs and such for many applications. They are often able to give advice on which products are the most durable.

I too hate the plastic plugs. The female end (on the truck) has a tendancy for the spring loaded door to come un-sprung. I have also drug both kinds of plugs down the road for many miles (literally, the plug came undone and I drug it until it was worn off at a 45° angle) and the metal ones stand up better to that kind of abuse as well.

Good luck.

HA!! Must be that time of year.... The trailer end of mine just cracked where the little screw is holding the end on. Now when I unplug it it is half way apart.
