TICONN 10 Ton Winch Snatch Block Towing Pulley Blocks 22,000 LBS Capacity, Heavy Duty Offroad Recovery Accessory for Truck, Tractor, ATV & UTV

I needed a medium duty snatch block and thought this would be perfect - I should have read the product description more closely and read the reviews (I was in a hurry and didn't). This product is much bigger and stronger than I anticipated, and I am very pleased. Excellent value for the price. The description says that it will accommodate rope up to 3/8" but I measured the inside width of the pully, and it will accommodate rope up to 1/2", perhaps even 9/16", though that would probably exceed the safe load limit of the snatch block. If it ever fails, I will update this review, but I cannot imagine it failing except if it is abused or used in an unsafe manner. I only wish that the seller would offer this with appropriately sized accessories such as d-rings and tree saver straps.

Excellent product, Ive winched out alot of vehicles and they never let me down. The only negative thing is they're heavy.

This is the 4th one I've bought and all four are doing great. I use them in combinations to pull out undesirable trees by the roots. I use synthetic cable and can remove tree stumps up to 18" in diameter. They have a grease fitting for lubrication and the sheave turns easily. The side plates rotate so you don't have to thread the cable through the block for ease of use. The only drawback is that they are sooooo tough that they cut alloy logging chain. You need to use a hardened shackle sold elsewhere at Amazon.

Very sturdy, works well

This just arrived and I was surprised by how large it is. It seems very well made and super sturdy. But for my use, I think it is too big. Before you buy, go check the dimensions. It's 10 inches by 5 inches, with a shackle hole of about 3 inches.

Very large and heavy duty. Even has a grease fitting for the roller pin!

This is the real deal for recovery. It is 7 1/2 lbs of solid steel. The axle is solid steel, no plastic insert like another well known brand. One end of the axle has a Zerk fitting so the axel can be greased without taking it apart. This should work well with my 10,000 pound winch on my 2007 Toyota Tundra 4WD.

I have a similar one to this bought elsewhere. I used it to pull over a large sweet gum tree that we were cutting. Having two snatch blocks gives better options for increasing power. So, I bought this one. This new one is slightly larger but it is much heavier. I held one in each hand and this one is more heavily built. The weight is the biggest difference I can see. If weight says anything, this one must be better. When you get it tho, be ready to grease it. I'd give it a couple pumps at least. If you pump in to much, it comes out around the pulley and will get messy. While I haven't used it yet, I see no reason it won't do a good job. I just hope I don't drop it and hit my toes. It's gonna hurt. While I've used these types of pulleys with synthetic ropes, I've also used them with wire rope, steel cable, too. Just be careful that there is no curls in the wire rope and that nothing will twist. Wire rope is a little less forgiving on that. Looking forward to cutting a pine tree soon. It's almost dead anyway. I don't like where it is pointing tho. Mother nature won't be kind to my home.
