On the whole, the Werkthor drive-on wedges make a very good impression. The wedges were not damaged and the package was in good condition.

|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | Good visual appearance | 90 points |

*The maximum score is 100 points
Both the wheel chocks and the wheel chocks are made of sturdy plastic with a textured surface for better grip. The plastic protective cover included in the package should be emphasized. This prevents damage after use and ensures safe and tidy storage.
The customer is supplied with high-quality drive-on wedges that can serve him well.
Unfortunately, there is no information about sustainability on the Amazon product page or on the packaging. Due to the high-quality materials used, we assume a long service life.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Handling | Easy handling | 100 points |
| Stability | Stable | 90 points |
| Use | Easy to use | 100 points |
| Optics | Simple and functional | 90 points |
| Application | Better only on paved surfaces | 80 points |
| Total | 92 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
We enjoyed using the Werkthor drive-on wedges during the test. It is very easy to drive on without an additional person. Thanks to the corrugation of the wheel chocks and the wheel chocks, the two interlock perfectly, preventing the chocks from slipping. Use on an unpaved surface is not necessarily recommended, as the contact surface is too small.
In short, it is a great product for quickly and easily leveling your motorhome or caravan on uneven surfaces.
