They're nice, but what happens when you need to have the car towed. I understand that is where they hook up to winch the car up onto the rollback.

I cannot find hockey pucks in my area. I tried Sports Authority, and they don't carry them (in my area).
Has anyone bought them, or know if they are available at Wal Mart ?

The hockey pucks worked fine with me for the last three years. It is easy to make, easy to use and you can't beat the price.
