Chocks work fine, you get TWO of them. October 13, 2009

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.
 Great price and work great! September 10, 2009

We were looking for lightweight, easy to store chocks for our pop-up. When we saw these, we liked the price and the stackability. The orange color also makes them hard to leave behind. When they arrived, we put them right to use and have been very happy with them. Tey work great with our lightweight pop-up and we highly recomend them to other pop-up owners.

I had these on the rear wheels of my car when it was on ramps. I put my car in reverse and even though I removed one wheel chock from one wheel and not the other, the one wheel chock prevented my car from going backwards and kept the car from moving.
Working on your car? Get these. June 26, 2009

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.

By "2-pack" I assumed they meant for two wheels. Not so! Two of these things screwed together = one wheel chock, which is what arrived.
