Seems to hold on soft soil but not on blacktop.
I'm at a loss as to what to do...

When on blacktop you need to find a parked car and hook that parking brake around a wheel. Don't try to park where there are no parked cars.

Try a wood wheel chauk...lighter and doesn't rust.

Get one with 4 points and sharpen them so they dig in.

Like an old car, leave it in gear. With engine off, of course. Dave

Interesting photogragh. A boat anchor. Attached to another boat anchor. Like the chicken and the egg question? You didn't buy that from Lyle did you? The Canadian navy is missing one.....

Well it's obvious the chain's not wrapped around the ball hitch enough. And I think I can make out enough of the part # on the brake shoe to tell that it's for an Essex Tri-directional anyways.

What do you bait a hook like that with?

they dont work too well as a brake,but ive found they work pretty good for towing water to where you need it!
