With a wide variety of variations, sizes and weight limitations, it’s important to know what to find when deciding on a snatch block for the work. Factors to bear in mind when deciding on a snatch prevent for your rigging needs:
Check the Functioning Load Limit (WLL) of both the snatch block and the cable rope. If the WLL of the pulley isn’t compatible with the WLL of the rope, it could create a dangerous problem if either one should fail.
Coordinate the size of the sheave in the snatch prevent to the size of the cable rope. If the cable rope is too large for the sheave, the block can crack. Generally, the wire rope-to-sheave size ratio ought to be 12:1 in order to hold the wire correctly while under load.
Know your numbers. Because a snatchblock can slice the immediate pull load in half, pick a rigging pulley which has a rating of twice the pull of the winch you’ll be using with it.

For use with from sailboats to ATVs, a snatch prevent can be a real workhorse. Known as a rigging block because it plays a part in or “snatches” the mechanical power of pull, it includes a unique combination of power and versatility. When used in combination with a winch, a prevent enables you to pull or lift hefty things by “breaking” the pull span between the object and the winch. This cuts the immediate pull load in half, which doubles the quantity of fat your winch can pull.
