    Great innovation.
    Can replace the hefty ARB snatch block residing in my draws constantly being a burden in a already gvm tickling GU.

    In power industry over in the us of A , they have been using this ring technology as an insulator when rigging ropes through live line work.
    Something unheard of here in behind the times land of Oz.

    Yeah, I reckon this idea must have come from somewhere else. I was thinking it's something you'd see on yachts with all their lines & pulleys etc.

    Carried the snatch block around for a 1000 years and never used it, but understand its usefulness. I've replaced the shackles with soft ones and am tossing up about this ring thing.

    I've not watched the vid yet, but I can understand how the ring would rotate around the shackle if for no other reason than the rope is wrapped around the ring, or the rope has more surface area contacting the ring than the shackle so the rope will have more 'power' behind it to rotate the ring than the shackle which is stationary. Happy to be told I'm wrong, I'm not an expert.

    My driving would see me maybe wearing this out in a gazillion years, but saving weight in my vehicle immediately.

    This would be a good item to organise as a group buy I reckon.
    Im in for a group buy for sure

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    That looks much more reassuring Daz mate, is it two ropes together to make a single soft shackle bound at the monkey fist knot thingy?

    Yeah maybe TD?? The winch'll be getting hot as well, I reckon you'd need to rest the winch first, but I got no experience with this stuff.
