How's everyone been?

So I'm getting a trailer this weekend (mostly for storage) and I'm looking at getting a chock.
Just wondering if there is any real difference between the Harbor Freight ones for $40 and others for $150

HF tools could be low quality, use it and throw it type, especially cutting tools. This particular tool that look are considering is probably decent enough to use.

 

I had the Harbor Freight one and it trailered just find.

I have Condor Pit Stop now only because I got it used and I use it also to park my bike upright in the garage.

If you're looking to just mount it and leave it, get the Harbor Freight one.

 

I got a little deal on the HD chock, i use it to park my bike, it is rock solid, since i have a pretty good slope i actually have to drive it in carefully, just to the balance point tipping in the tire cradle and let it roll in easy. The HD is pretty expensive but with the deal, and my projected use it is the one for my application.

 

I mounted one of the Condor units on my lift. It holds the bike very firmly. I do believe however that for a trailer, where the bike will be strapped down, a less expensive unit would work just fine.

 

HF is fine, I've even trailered it on a stand with tie downs. Save yourself some bucks for chrome !

 

this is what i use, its a harbor freight i think. it works great for trailering and as a stand. with the dough you save on the chock you can get some good steadymate ratcheting soft loop straps.

 

get a Baxley wheel chock, they actually grip the tire when you roll into it. two straps angled forward to stabilize from rear pegs, good to go...

 

I paid around $175 for the used Condor Pit Stop and even though it's quality built and I have no lack of trust in it holding up my beloved Heritage, it is in no way worth $175, much less the $260 retail price.

I guess if I was to buy something else it would be this one at Harbor Freight for $60 without a coupon:

I was looking at this and would be using it to hold the bike upright when sliding jack under it. Not looking to mount anything to the cement floor in the garage.
