Aircraft tie downs

An interesting document on tie downs. One thing I never thought of was
digging the mainwheels into a depression to act as chocks and lower the
wing angle in strong winds.
Any thoughts on whether the Fly Ties or the Claw (half the price) is a
better portable tie down? Or something homemade?
