Stalling in winter is easier than ever: in excess of snow and ice on the roads. On ice, a passenger car is relatively easy to push, but in a snow a skid wheel instantly gnaws a hole and drives itself into a trap. The ingenuity suggests: you need to put under the wheel, for example, a board - and the car will get out on an impromptu ramp. But the board in the trunk (not looking for it on the city streets!) Is somehow not solid. But the special devices to combat slippage - that’s it. Or not that? Check it out!

First we define the general requirements. There are not many of them: strength (including in the cold), good grip (both with snow and with the tire) and a small width so that the mat can simply be pushed under the wheel without digging out the snow. What about our samples?

The declared manufacturer LLC "ISS PLAST"

Russia

Estimated price 1000 rub

In fact, these are six links with ground and shinozatsepami. They are packed very compactly in the package (transparent bag with zippers), they are easily assembled into one long (1.25 m) plastic track or into two short ones. Convenient, aesthetically pleasing, orange, but, alas, fragile: after exposure to frost at minus twenty tracks easily break. But in the spring or autumn thaw, there will be no problems.

The declared manufacturer "Unix", Russia

Estimated price 1000 rub

Massive molded rubber product with rope handles. They are not superfluous: the mat weighs a lot. But it is guaranteed to be durable. The heads of the screws screwed into the rubber should, in theory, increase friction with the tire and the icy road. But the claimed versatility (for cars and trucks) is doubtful: the large width of the mat is good for a gable wheel, but you can’t put it into a hole under a narrow passenger tire.

The manufacturer wished to remain anonymous, but judging by the OTK stamp, Russia

Estimated price 200 rubles

The product resembles a washing board. Made of frost-resistant plastic, most likely high-pressure polyethylene. When using, it is necessary to properly orient the inclined lug teeth: they must bite into the snow and into the tire. The plate length is small - 490 mm, but enough to roll out of the hole. It makes sense to immediately get a pair - do not go broke.

Each driver, at least once in his life, is in a situation where the address of the destination is known, and how to get to the place is not clear. Wandering in “your” territory is still half the trouble, but what if it’s not easy to bring to a foreign city or another country?
