Yes, but there's a catch- If you're going to use it as a snatch block, make sure the maximum force isn't more than 17900 pounds. It's sufficient for basic direction changes.

Update: One of the snap rings has popped off twice now, in just four pulls, causing the sheave to fall apart; I'm not sure when it happens; I'm grateful that it didn't fall apart during the pulls. When I swivel the housings to remove the cable, I notice the issue after a pull. The tool is not stressed in any way by this action because the snap ring has already disintegrated. br>br>I've never used this snatch block with loads greater than 1/2 its rated capacity, and all of my pulls have been smooth and simple. This is completely unacceptable. br>br> If the sheave breaks during the pull, it can be very dangerous. Is there a guarantee with Orcish? Original review: br>br> I used this snatchblock to successfully transport a log onto a trailer. When I went to move the cable to the next log, however, the sheave broke apart because the snap ring had popped off. On closer inspection, the snap ring groove on the sheave shaft appeared to be so shallow that I wasn't sure it was even a groove. It's not fun looking for a snap ring in the dark while the job is waiting, nor is it fun trying to get the ring back on the shaft without snap ring pliers (which aren't usually required when using my winch). I was able to complete the job without incident, but it was not a good start for a brand new tool.
Because of the poor construction, two of the three retaining clips were severely bent. Between the hole in the arms and the piston, which is held in place by retaining clips, there is an excessive gap. The clips eventually snap or spring off on the outside. One was particularly bad, to the point where the arm bowed. These aren't supposed to be 20k snatch blocks, are they? It had about 5,000 pounds of weight on it at the time.
This was purchased in order to load cars onto a fifth-wheel trailer. This snatch block keeps the cable off the front beam of the trailer on a 5th wheel trailer when pulling on cars. I have a 2 inch receiver hitch mount winch set up. Yes, it's just a straight line with a 70-degree angle. Both retaining clips popped off after approximately 25 feet of cable pull. The first time I used it, it simply didn't work. Off-road or anywhere, I would not trust this in my truck!.
The product arrived in pieces, and I can't seem to get the ring clip back on the axel. If I can't get some help assembling it, I'll return it. There were no instructions included in the box.
This was probably the first time my friend and I ever used it. It was used two days after UPS dropped it off to tow a very heavy International flatbed truck with a tow truck winch, and it performed as expected. It was under a lot of strain, but none of the snap rings came off or looked like they might cause a problem in the future, as some other reviewers claimed. The build quality appears to be excellent, and it feels solid in the hand. br>br>Here's my only complaint (which is minor and to be expected): br>The tow truck's old metal winch cable has left marks and a few minor burs on the pulley, which will harm the synthetic cable on my off-road vehicle. This snatch block was intended to be used with a road winch, which is what it was bought for. However, I'm sure a few minutes with a file and some sand paper will remove the sharp burs, and I've seen this with many other snatch blocks as well.
Second, one of the two I received was missing a retainer ring, making it useless. It's not a big deal; I'll just go out and buy a new ring, right? I can't seem to find that specific size, so I'll try contacting the manufacturer via Amazon for a replacement. As a result, this only receives a single star for the time being.
I purchased four of these in order to create a 5:1 ratio. With my little 12 volt winches and one pulley set, I was able to pull roots. These have real grease fittings, which means they won't 'gall' the axles when pulling heavy loads. I'm making use of a 50-watt light source. These have a synthetic line on the bottom to keep the 'cable-like' effect from happening. pattern- The 'burn' that occurs when steel cable is used over pulleys, which will damage synthetic rope if steel cable is used on these. I'm pulling the synthetic rope over these small pulley blocks, and I'm using chain or cable to pull the end. These monsters are my favorite!.
A few days ago, I finally got to try out this snatch block. Three JKUs, one JK, and three SXSs were winched up the same obstacle with it. I anchored my XJ against a tree, wrapped a tree saver around another tree, shackled the snatchblock to the tree saver, and ran the winch cable to each of the others one by one. The snatchblock worked flawlessly with the cable on my 9k smittybilt, and there were no visible issues when I inspected the block afterwards.
