Driver Recovery Products8-Ton Snatch Block - Heavy Duty 16,000 lb (8T) Capacity Pulley Accessory

I must say that my recent purchase of the 8 Ton snatch blocks from your company far exceeded my expectations as far as quality is concerned. The addition of the grease fitting is something that was the biggest reason of this purchase. Most of these snatch blocks unless spending well over a hundred dollars don’t have a grease fitting. I use these for skidding logs with my tractor and in that environment ones without the ability to grease the shiv don’t last very long. The inexpensive price of these allow me to have many of them on my rig and make full use of the mechanical advantage they offer. Great quality for the price. The only thing I have done to improve these is to take the very sharp edge left by the machining process of the pully wheel off by just running a fine flat file to the edge and chamfering or breaking the edge. Even though the wheel is made of what appears to be aircraft grade aluminum that sharp edge could easily cause chafffing of the cable and wear out or cause premature failure of the cable. The process of taking that edge off only takes less than 2 minutes to perform on each pulley wheel.

Heavy built will take a load.

Purchased this snatch block for the primary use of pulling down several hung up trees blown over by storms. I've used this with a 1/2" rope puller and the snatch block does an excellent job. It is well made, heavy, nicely finished and good quality, particularly for the price. It has the capacity for 1/2" rope. No doubt, it will provide many years of service. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and the way the product has performed so far.

Love them. Cheap - can buy multiples without going broke. Expensive ones have gone down price . These are still the go to option. Guess why? Expensive ones are built the same - more specifically, are held together with the same c clips. They unravel just the same. I will be putting in some bolts or have some custom washers tig welded in place.

Isn't just like it the old saying better to have than to not have. That's what these are. The first time you say eh I don't need em. Then your out on a trail and bamm you need em. These are well made and plenty strong for what there intended for and I'm glad I have 2 of them. If you off road buy them you will need them sooner or latter guaranteed.

Nicely manufactured quality piece of hardware. Has zerk grease fitting on underside of plate )not shown in picture). But I have to ask.... if you need to grease this thing, are you doing it wrong or too fast? Worth every bit as much as the name-brand one I bought a year ago for another vehicle. Don't waste those greenbacks on 1) something that is just as good as name-brand and 2) something that in all likelihood you will never use.

This is the second one I have purchased, the first was Harbor Freight quality. I paid only slightly more for this snatch block which has bearings and a grease fitting to keep it lubricated. Don't waste your time at the discount stores.

Mainly bought these for winch recovery on my ATV and Jeep BUT with the gym closed for COVID I used these to make a great cable home gym. Hooked up under the 2nd floor deck, 5 gal bucket with rocks for weights. Works great
