Default Harbor Freight Wheel Chock

Has anyone used a Harbor Freight wheel chock? I am thinking about putting them in my trailer. Has anyone got any experience with them---good/bad??

Which one? I believe they have 3 different ones.

I have the big black one with the tie downs on either side. Had it for a year and I had to secure an 8' x 12" strip of plywood under it so when I pull the bike up onto it the rear wheel catches the wood and the chock does not move away as the front tire docks. I like it a lot for the money. Some will disagree but for the money it is the best. It serves its purpose. It keeps the bike straight up and down and therefore more out of the way in the garage and away from the foot traffic.

Yea my dad, a buddy and I all have them. If its the one with the rounded front they work great, no problems at all. They did offer one with a square front, its not so great. My buddy had it first said he did not like it but after getting the round one he has had no problems. He actualy mounted one to the floor of his shop to hold his bike while cleaning and servicing

mine has the "one size fits all tires" front...... it sucks. but, then again I do have a Fat Boy with it's wider front tire. my plan is to have a fab shop heat it up and bend it round to fit my tire.

I bought H.F.'s hydrolic motorcycle lift. It was 1/2 the price of the other ones I looked at, and it works great.
