Gaari Means Car. Car Reviews & Car News

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.

To stress what other reviewers have said, when you order this “2 Pack” you get what you see in the picture: two chocks, not two sets of chocks.

This is a good light-duty set of chocks. They are lightweight, made of durable plastic, and are stackable (like they are in the picture) to save space. They are also bright orange so you don’t forget about them when the job is done.

The bottom of the chock is slightly serrated, which will give it a decent grip on concrete and asphalt – just make sure you wedge them in well. I would not use these chocks on an incline, on a soft or uneven surface or on a vehicle with a bad parking brake, but for all your normal uses these should do the trick.

The two chocks come attached with a plastic fastener. It’s a boar to remove, so a pair of pliers is recommended. If you look closely at the picture, you can see holes pre-molded into the lower end of the chock. If you want to keep the two connected but still easily separated for use, I recommend a short length of twine.
