Checkers Industrial Safety Products Roadblock RC815 Rubber Wheel Chock with Void Bottom, Black, 10" Length x 8" Width x 6" Height

I decided I needed to buy a wheel chock after changing a woman's tire on her van. The van was partially on the road and at a slight incline, but could not be moved. While jacking up the van, it began to roll (which was my mistake at not having her apply the brakes) and consequently ruined my jack. I read several reviews on other chocks, but the cheap plastic ones just seemed... well, cheap. When this chock arrived, it was bigger than I expected (admittedly, I didn't read the specs). However, even though it may be designed for tractor trailers and warehouse work, it performed exellent in my test. I parked my car on about a 30-35deg incline, then snugged the chock under the wheel. Next I put my car in nuetral. My car didn't budge an inch. I realize this may not be the typical application for a wheel chock, but it's how I'll be using it. When I went to remove the chock it took nothing more than a tug. As other reviewers have mentioned, the chock is hollow inside. I feel this design aids to the usefulness. It allows the chock to compress slighty, which gjves it more grip. The added added eyehook is solid and a nice feature if one would want to add a rope or chain. Being made of quality rubber, I feel this chock will last for years, even if it could be accidentally run over many times.The only slight drawback is the weight of 8lbs, but it's worth it to have a piece of equipment that can be relyed upon.

Sorry I didn't include the molecular composition, the smell or the texture of the rubber, as some people are into all kinds of weird stats here on Amazon.

Great quality wheel chock!! Heavy duty rubber and strong steel loop on one end if you wanna lock it up or chain it. I'm a truck driver and these are used primarily for commercial trucks, but I actually use mine to keep my lifted suburban in place on my sloped driveway at home. I was getting tired of my tranny locking up when I put it in park and release the foot brake. My emergency brake can't hold five thousand pounds of beast onca sloped driveway, so this did exactly what the one at work does, hold my truck in place!

These have appropriate mass and strength and are a good size for standard truck and trailer wheels (my application), and would probably work fine with auto wheels that have adequate clearance in their wheel-wells. I took advantage of the eyelet to add a 3ft poly rope and wooden handle, which makes these easier to use. The rubber compound sticks well to both rough and smooth surfaces.I dropped this a star to 4 since I discovered they can be damaged. In my case the chock was driven over because the driver forgot/didn't know the chock was in place, and it was squashed (rubber cracked thru on all corners), making it unsafe for further use. This may be unfair, but I just wanted to make the point that they aren't indestructible.You'll want at least a pair of these... price is for one.Note: These have a strong rubber odor which you might not want inside a living space. It may dissipate with time, I don't know. This isn't an issue for my use so I didn't mark down for this.

Let me be perfectly clear. Parking accidents in the garage are not gender specific. I have never run over any of my wife’s compressors, generators and tool chests. It can happen to anybody.Anybody who has ever operated a military or construction vehicle understands the critical importance of chocks.Backing into a garage is an art few have mastered, especially in a pickup truck where the rear bumper sticks out 4 feet beyond the rear tires.Nudging a garage wall or door with a Camry is more forgiving than with a 2-ton tractor.I’ve used these chocks for years in every location where I park anything larger than an ATV and have avoided significant property damage on many occasions.It is a luxury to slowly ease into a parking area without having to worry about bumping into something that hates to be bumped.These chocks are professional quality and will outlast most users. I’ve seen them on utility line trucks and right-of-way clearing equipment. The eye-bolt with a rope attached makes for easy removal. Even so, this is not how I use them.When I determine the best spot for a particular vehicle, I secure the chocks in place. A car tire will not budge them all that much them, however, when I stumble over them they tend to move round quite a bit.If the surface is concrete, a small amount of Liquid Nails or construction adhesive works great to hold them in place. WARNING! Do not use too much.Back in the early eighties, I glued a steel chock to a concrete floor with Liquid Nails. When I needed to relocate it, I had to pry it loose with a crowbar. It broke free okay along with a nice chunk of the concrete floor.If I’m using these chocks in a barn with a dirt floor, a couple of 12-inch spikes driven behind them will work. The spikes cost about 99-cents at most hardware stores.Chock it up to experience and avoid costly repairs.

It broke the first time I used it. Rubber cracked all the way through. I used it to block my Ford F250 in my driveway. Waste of money.
