Decent sized pieces but small enough to storage easily ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Good for price… *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023* Not heavy duty, not thick for sand, but better than nothing. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars They help but break after a few uses still requires some shoveling plus pushing *by I***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021* I've used these 4 times in snow and once on ice with mixed results they seem to help in snow but they did not work on ice ( had to break and scrape the ice with a metal shovel(board would not lay completely flat) before they were left unusable and broken and the pieces thrown away. They do help get the cars unstuck from snow but usually not on the first try. Some amount of digging, repositioning them, pushing the car from behind are usually still required yet less digging and pushing than having no boards/ramps at all. Instinctively at first when trying them if gently pressing on the gas pedal initially doesn't get you out ( means you have to dig and reposition the board closer) the usual reaction by most people is to give it more gas ( I know I've done it and 2 other people that i was helping) which usually causes the tires to spin and the boards to shoot out from under the tires happened in every use luckily they shot and partially inserted in snow piles and didn't hit any people. Can imagine getting hit in the shins by one of them would be pretty painful so stay away from the front or back of the car if possible even though pushing the car from behind is pretty risky but is effective. Slow throttle acceleration + a small push from behind that's usually enough to catch on the ramps. They are small compared to other big recovery boards but the cheap price makes buying them next winter a maybe though would probably go with something flexible like rubber traction mats. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/82019768-subzero-12501-griptrax-traction-tool](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/82019768-subzero-12501-griptrax-traction-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
