It is a type of pulley used for off-road vehicle recovery, towing, and lifting.
Snatch blocks can be used to double the pulling power of a winch or to change the direction of a pull.
They are available in various weight capacities, with some models rated for 8,000 lbs or more.
The design allows for the insertion of a wire rope or strap without having to unthread the line from the winch.
The components are typically made of heavy-duty steel and may feature a powder-coated finish for durability.
