    People are really going to be really impressed when I bring snatch blocks to the gym.

    The guy that stopped to help you gave me a big smile too, hands weathered from what must have been a lifetime of physical labor gave and instantly knowing what to do, how to help and taking the time out of his day to stop for a stranger, very respectable and heartwarming.

    This man could sell snatch blocks to a snatch block salesman

    The moment he didn’t say “our sponsor, SNATCH BLOCK” I was incredibly disappointed

    A rule of thumb we always used for figuring out mechanical advantage for rope rescue systems was, if the pulley (or snatch block) is moving with the load, it is providing a mechanical advantage. If it is not moving with the load (i.e. it is attached to an anchor point not a part of the load) it is only providing a change of direction.

    Yes pulleys are amazing but always remember the safe working limit of your cable / line / rope / strop etc quickly becomes the governing factor. Great production by the way, makes learning stuff fun !

    I was genuinely surprised when his sponsor wasn't snatch block

  • @scholarwhip6557

    I would have died if the sponsor was SnatchBlock.

  • @wesleymccravy901

    LOL I am from Cullman, Alabama. I feel you about most always coming across people who just have “know how.” I finished assembling a cheap small 2500lb winch today (welded it to an old truck receiver).. and how I have an old disc up in the woods I gotta drag out. Only have 1 snatch block… until tomorrow haha

    I just watched this video on Monday in class while learning about pulleys! :)

    I felt like I was watching a really long advertisement for a product called snatch block

    This would explain all the blocks and tackle in the rigging of sailing ships. So much tension to keep everything together.

    I'm going to take down our chimney and need to move a lot of bricks from the roof to the ground, with a pulley on the top of the house, I can slide them down the roof and with a counter weight, it balances out and becomes super easy to pull back up.

  • @TheRussellStover

    Thanks for making this video. I'm doing some logging and I can really use the snatch block in some situations.
