4.0 out of 5 stars Chocks work fine, you get TWO of them., October 13, 2009

This review is from: RhinoGear 11930 Tire Hugger Wheel Chock - Set of 2 (Misc.)

It's beyond me how others think they should have gotten 4, or one reviewer thinks she only received one. It's clear from the description that this is a PAIR of wheel chocks, not two pair, not one chock. The 2 are NOT "screwed together" as mentioned in another review. The manufacturer attaches them with a plastic fastener called a "christmas tree." It's similar to the plastic fasteners that hold interior door panels on a car. This is removable; the 2 chocks are separated for use. Granted, it's a little difficult to pull them apart, a pair of pliers helps. It would be dangerous to leave the 2 wheel chocks attached as shipped to try to prevent a car or RV from moving.

Now for some actual, useful information about the wheel chocks. I bought these to stabilize my cars when jacking them to service brakes, tires, etc. My garage floor is painted with epoxy paint. Even with the anti-slip additive in the paint, several other wheel chocks I have tried always slipped and moved on the epoxy floor. These Blitz Tire Hugger Wheel Chocks have held firm on the floor every time. As with any wheel chock, it's important to make sure it's firmly wedged between the tire and the floor. A quick firm kick to wedge the chock in place is all I ever need on my slippery garage floor.

I don't think these would be useful outdoors on an unpaved surface, such as with an RV or trailer in the woods. But then, it dozen't seem that's how they are being marketed anyway, and I haven't tried them in this application. For working on a car with a jack or ramps, these chocks do the job.

...they're orange.

I'm not so forgetful that I need a full blown checklist when I change my oil. I've never forgotten to replace the drain plug, or put in oil, etc. However, black tire chocks can sometimes do a good job of... uh... hiding themselves.

Seeing the bright orange chocks serves as a reminder that you're not totally done yet.

As far as durability goes, I have to agree with other reviewers here. If you're like me, and go all out to ensure you're doing things "the right way", they're fine. Would I trust them behind a small to medium sized car with a working parking brake? Sure. Would I trust them to keep a full size pickup with a bad emergency brake on ramps? Never.

What's to say about wheel chocks? These are light, compact, and do a nice job when I put my minivan and sedan up on a ramp to change my oil. They don't slide on my asphalt driveway. Despite the Amazon picture, the 2-pack means TWO chocks NOT two sets of two.
