These aren't cheap, but they are very nice for trailers! Nice and solid ,and Made in the USA.

Nice but the bike will not stand up by itself while you strap it down with this unit. If it did, I would buy one for the flip down feature alone.

True, but all stapping a bike down takes ,is alittle preperation. I always have the straps where they can be gotten easily without getting off the bike.

I like them because there is no having to take them in or out to use the trailer for other needs.

I'd rather just take it out of the trailer when not using it. I can also use it in the garage. Multi-functional is the key.

I took my HF wheelchock out of my trailer and put it in the bed of my truck for my trip to Biketoberfest. It worked great, Michigan to Florida. It hold the bike upright whilst your placing tie downs on the bike. I took my tie downs and replaced the hooks with locking carabiners so that their was no chance of them coming un-hooked.

Tried using them yesterday and they would not accept them. Got the manager involded too and he said they are a bogus coupon that has been going around on the internet. They would not honor them...sounds like you got lucky.

My Harbor Freight store also declined them. The date on your E was 11/06/2006. I bought it anyway. It's a cheaper alternative to the 'Condor" units.

Sorry 'bout that guys!

I've used them suckers like 2 or 3 times already. I go to the one in the Phila, PA area. Not sure now if they will take them anymore. Sucks!

Either way that chock is still a good deal in my eyes.
