Must admit I don't remember that one. The first stabiliser I ever used was similar to the blade type, but had a round bar instead. I seem to remember it had friction pads vertical as well as horizontal. I forgot to put it on one day and didn't notice any difference, so I've never used one since and not had any problems. I towed several different trailers for a living for a few years and none of them had any kind of stabilisers either. I sometimes wonder if all stabilisers really do is give the driver confidence.

I bought one of the bar type and as you say it had two sets of pads, what a waste of time and money that was, I gave mine away advising them how rubbish it was.
I went back to the blade type then as years progressed to the hitch ones, winterhoff being my preferred brand.
