Draper 125 x 60 x 78mm Rubber Wheel Chocks | 2 Piece Levelling Ramps | Caravan Chocks | Anti Roll Vehicle Tools | 54500, Blue

Worked well while changing my rear brake pads. Nice and sturdy, even with large 21inch wheels, I felt safe on flat ground. I wouldn't trust them on a slope to hold back a vehicle, especially with large wheels, as they are not that big, but that's not what they are intended for. I didn't notice any kind of bad smell reported by others.

I recently decided I would learn to do some basic car maintenance myself. My first job was to change the rear brake pads on my Ford Focus. I purchased all the tools I required including these chocks, as I read it is important to chock off the front wheels while the car is jacked up, or on Jack stands on the rear, (or vice versa). I did the work on my driveway, which is on a slight slope, so I placed the 2 chocks in front of the front tyres as the only way the car could roll was down the slight slope. If working on a level surface you would want to place a chock infront and behind one of your wheels, or purchase a 2nd set so you can chock in front and behind both wheels. The chocks are small, but do the job perfectly. I let the handbrake off and the chocks held the car in place securely, and I completed my first bit of maintenance knowing my car was secure and wouldn't roll. And because they are small, I recommend storing them in your car with your spare tyre, which is what I do now. That way the next time I get a puncture and need to swap to my spare, I can chock off the wheels for a safer wheel change, which was something I'd never considered before. Great product.

Stops car rolling when jacked up? ... check These are a great piece of kit for those who may not want to make their own chocks using wood cut at an angle etc etc. I fell into that camp, and so bought these. They are tiny, maybe a few inches high and wide, so bear that in mind, but the rubber is grippy, and can mould to the floors surface, so therefore they are safe. They function perfectly and do what's required to stop the car from rolling away. Would I buy these again? Yes.

Leaving my MR2 for longer than 24hrs with the handbrake on, means jammed brakes. Usually they unstick but I prefer not to have them stick in the first place. Leaving the car in gear is an option but not one I am willing to take, for obvious reasons. This pair of chocks is a good solution and a pair is ideal. The size is large enough to do the job effectively but do not take up too much space. There is a hollow space within the chocks so it is easy to bore holes and connect them with a spare piece of rope. One behind a front wheel, the other in front of the back and the car is going nowhere. With the chocks connected it is the work of a moment to pick them up by the rope and stow them. I just hope the roaming brats don't make off with them!!

These are great. Smaller than I thought but they definitely hold the car when it is sitting for a while unused! Great price for a great product!

I always use chocks for my caravan for when it's being stored (on a gentle incline) and also when I use levelling ramps at a campsite pitch. Have in the past used heavy gauge plastic ones, but always found these slipped on the levelling ramp or just wouldnt grip that well. I've tried the super heavy duty type capable of holding 4T + but these were overkill and found actually you can't wedge them deep into the tyre and the ground. These are solid rubber and very well made. No slip and only give a tiny bit of flex, perfect. Don't know why people are moaning about the size, as you put these on the OUTER part of the tyre, they aren't meant to wedge the full width of one. So happy am going to buy another 2 sets, one as a spare and second for my car in case I ever have to change a spare wheel on anything other than flat. These inspire great confidence, and for the price incl. free delivery - an utter steal.

Like other reviewers I found these chocks to be a little smaller than anticipated though I have no reason to believe that they will not function OK - but, Phew! They are really 'whiffy'. I can't really describe the smell but I wouldn't choose to use it for aromatherapy! Hopefully this will fade in time but, at present, they are confined to my garage because I don't want this 'bouquet' in my car. Kind of defeats the object of the exercise really doesn't it?

Great for the price
