Default wheel chock

I am thinking about purchasing a JS wheel chock for my lowrider. I will only use it in the garage instead of the kickstand. Does anyone use a wheel chock for convenience and is it more secure than a kickstand? Just curious if a wheel chock is worth the money. I have the JS Lift and it is great, that's the reason I am leaning towards the JS model.

I would like to hear some feedback from those that use a wheel chock. Thanks for your time.

Default Wheel Chock

I have one and I only use it for maintenance on the bike. It is a cheap one but I have a smooth garage floor and when I try to put the bike in the chock on that floor it just slips across the floor. I guess I could mount it on a piece of plywood but I don't want to do that. It works great outside on the asphalt but not on the slick floor. BTW I also have a wide scissor jack that I use to raise the front end to place it in the chock inside the garage. Yes it is more secure than the jiffy stand if you use straps.

I use my Baxley sport chock when working on or doing maintenance, although I strap the bars just for the extra security. Works great, and worth the $ imho.
