Tire & Wheel Tools

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.

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.

I've had these for a few years now.
Mine are safety orange.
placed behind the rear 16" tires of My car they prevent it from rolling anywhere while I have the frontend jacked up.
I have forgotten to remove them more than once and they prevented the car from moving while in reverse.
They are hollow but quite sturdy and strong regardless of what some "reviewers" have stated. They have frequently held the car where it is supposed to be and I've had to move the car forward when done to un-chock the car.
For a normal automobile, these work great!

(update:10/05) Used these again for the last 2 weekends doing ATF changes on the cars. Still work great Preventing Mazdas from rolling backwards while up on jack stands. I noticed some others have commented about the color black vs orange...shouldn't matter... these are not road markers people. These work fine for what they are intended for. A little extra protection. Don't expect it to hold a car without brakes... Read more
