Review on πŸ”’ X-Chock Tire Locking Chock - Single (BAL 149.1053 28010) by Ryan Maruffo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I've been using Bal for 18 years

I've used Bal Deluxe as pads, not stabilizers, and have had no problem except once, when I moved the trailer with the trailer engaged. I damaged one of these but continued to use it with no problems. For safety reasons I ended up replacing it with an X-Chock (Deluxe model discontinued) which seems more durable to me. I was surprised by Bal's claim that he doesn't use it as a parking brake, which I always did. It's likely a grip issue if someone has parked on a steep slope. I can never park on a steep slope as my trailer is low on the ground and could fall over. You work for me and I'm happy.

Pros
  • Unlike other pads, X-Chock works with the natural movement of the hoops, not against them
Cons
  • Almost never
