The chock is NOT SURE TO MAKE THE GEAR MISTAKE

Please look at the pictures. Inside there is a set of gears on each side so the clamp opens and closes at the same speed. Notice how the gears warn/miss. This allows the yoke to open and close unevenly, I ran the yoke right between the tires. When I installed it the clamp was no longer square. This clip failure can cause it to fall out if the pendant needs to be moved for any reason. Do not buy this clip, its use is not safe.

Security and peace of mind worth

This worked great on my last trip. We had to park on top of a hill so this place gave me more peace of mind. My tires were 2 1/2 inches apart, but I was able to push them in and still widen them. The included wrench is cheap and only moderately effective, but I always have outlets handy no matter what. I mistakenly thought they came in pairs when looking at the 28010 which came in pairs but it was only one. additional ground clearance. Overall it's definitely better than using a 4x4 block…

I chose this model to keep the number of moving parts to a minimum.

Heavier than expected, thing is solid! I chose this model to keep the number of moving parts to a minimum. I didn't think the part next to the tire needed to articulate. I use a DeWalt 90 degree cordless drill with a 3/4 inch head as the turning tool. ! (although the included wrench is pretty good too!) I'm wondering if I should get a second one for the other side? UPDATE: I got a second one. I liked the BAL wedge because it's sturdy and has a minimum of moving parts. I use a DeWalt cordless…

I will respond again with an update on BAL's liability.

I purchased these pads in May 2019. When I first used them my campervan rolled backwards (I park it on a slope) and thankfully there was no damage. I figured maybe I didn't expand the last one enough, so I've since (twice) tightened them enough (tugging after expanding) to ensure a secure fit. Yesterday (September 2nd, 2019) after returning from a hike, parked the camper, unloaded it, went through the storage process until the next trip, then went to take a shower. While I was in the shower, my

Pros
  • Great fit for me

  • Slightly torn

Deluxe Tire Spreader/Lock

This is my fourth trailer/RV. I have used various jigs to keep my trailers from moving over the years. On tandem bikes, it is best to install an anti-spread device between the tires. I've had a pair in this style for a long time. This was the style where you adjusted them and then put them between the tires and pulled the lever up to keep the bottom from going up. I did this with an old wrench holding the bottom down. With two sore shoulders, it turned into a horrible experience. Eventually…
