Not surprising, that something made of plastic, would break when thousands of pounds are parked on it. Never had any use for plastic leveling blocks. Wood is cheap, and better.
Which is better is a matter of hotly debated opinion.
Over the years I migrated from wood to plastic. Never had a plastic block break. Wood frequently splits.
Yeah, I know it is debated. There will always be those who prefer to just throw money at a problem. Which would you rather have to replace? A plastic block, or a piece of scrap lumber.
And BTW, if you choose the lumber wisely, it is unlikely to split.
Haven't had to buy a set of blocks yet, and have four sets. The dealer threw a set in with each of the rigs I bought, and won two sets at raffles. Blocks are lighter, do not soak up water, and easier to wash the mud and dirt off. They also interlock making a more stable support than stacked wood. I still carry a set of 12" x 15" plywood for soft ground, but find I seldom need them. To each his own.
Besides, the grandkids age 4 & 6 like helping grandpa. Stacking Grandpa's Legos are their job when setting up and breaking camp. That is the best reason...
