A snatch block should be one of the most carefully assessed pieces
of equipment you buy. A poorly designed block can have a detrimental
effect on a winch's cable, and lead to a failure of the wire rope or the
snatch block itself.

ARB snatch blocks feature side plates that sit snug against the pulley,
eliminating the possibility of the winch cable becoming trapped
between the pulley and the side plates. The groove on the pulley
itself tapers down to the center allowing for a variety of cable sizes
(1/4"-1/2") to be used and ensures the cable is seated securely in the
pulley, minimizing lateral movement. To ensure smooth pulley
operation, the hardened steel pin is fitted with a nipple, to which
grease can be periodically applied.

With a breaking strain of 30,000lb, the ARB snatch block is a
formidable piece of recovery equipment that should be included in
every recovery kit.
