Chocks work fine, you get TWO of them. Oct 13, 2009 By Richard Fallstich "Transplant Recipient"
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.

There's one reason to own these... Oct 29, 2008 By Kevin Nicholls "jaded, aging hipster"
...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.

Chock-a-block Dec 29, 2008 By Ancient Mariner
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.

Work Well and prevent a midsize car from rolling. Sep 20, 2011 By R. Diamond "Diamondback662"
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 on a hill or anything stupid like that.

Working on your car? Get these. Jun 26, 2009 By Ville Koskela
These are great. I ordered two pairs and had my car safely on jacks in no time. Just wish they were cheaper.

Pros:
- Color. Many wheel chocks I have seen are black; either you need to move the chocks and have to go searching for them or by the time you finish your work you'll forget the chocks are behind your tires. This way you'll always spot them before you try to drive off.
- Construction. On the con side, they are plastic and not overly stiff, however, consider what you are using them for. Plus, the ribbing along the bottom adds grip and the stackable design means they store in a smaller space. Definitely more plus than minus.

Cons:
- Price. At $10 for a pair (and you need two pairs) the price is a little steep, especially considering the relative discount one expects on Amazon.
- Packaging. The two chocks are tied together using a plastic screw. I had to resort to brute force to tear the thing out. There must be a better way to ship these together.
