This is what I place, about the same depth...



Helps me maintain focus when I do it that way.

Bear in mind that the only load capacity requirement for chocks is 2 kN (450 lbs). A #5 stopper is only rated for 6 kN (1350 Lbs) even though the UIAA technically only requires 2 kN. That button head is ugly but probably better than a small chock. The UIAA is not rational concerning equipment capacity.

That poor guy in the article photo needs a decent hammer and decent drill holder.

Yes, looks kind of intentionally a touch prehistoric.
