    Stout METAL grips!
    5 Stars
    Stout METAL grips!
    UPDATED Dec 31, 2020... added the 5th star today after getting a chance to use these for the first time. Stout came to the rescue!We were up in Tahoe and saw someone slide off the road (coming down icy/snowy road and didn’t make the right turn). She had enough hard snow wedged under the whole front that it required some digging (3 of us for 10 min) but even after we could see daylight under it, and even in low four, the newer Tacoma just couldn’t get any traction to back out. All four wheels were spinning.I had a rope I could have pulled her with, but my daughter suggested I break out the brand new traction boards. I wedged under the rear tires, asked her to go super slow, and it got her unstuck. I then threw them under the front tires and she was able to back out without drama.Zero damage to the boards. Super glad I got the version with metal teeth at the front. It allowed the tires to bite right away and I didn’t worry about nubs melting.ORIGINAL...Have not had to use them yet, but have not seen any good pictures or reviews of the version with METAL grips (no side or bottom views anywhere!), so I thought I would share to help others make their decision.The good... these are STOUT. The plastic is thick and metal section is an entire insert, not just a plate on top of plastic. I also like that these are ~34 inches long instead of 48 like their most common model. This allows it to fit easier in my wife's car, when not taking my truck. They also come with a leash which seems helpful.The compromise... these are STOUT, which means they are heavy and unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, they do not stack inside each other at all. What you see in the pictures is as close as they get.Notes and minor stuff: The maxsa website says these are 10.5" wide, but they are actually 9.5" at most. Amazon is correct that the BOX is ~10". I was a little concerned with these being narrow, even assuming only 10.5, but after seeing them in person, I have no concerns. Probably similar width to the center section of the bigger models. BTW, the color in the pictures makes them look more vibrant red than they really are. They are a bit drab/orange IRL.Anyway, glad to have these ahead of winter. Insurance for myself and likely a MUCH easier option to help others get unstuck instead of pulling out a tow rope.
