Ronstan Utility Block, Series 60 & 75 – Pivoting Low Lead, Ratchet with Cleat

Description

The patented extruded hole design, in conjunction with the groove profile of the sheave, provides a more powerful grip than conventional designs – up to 20:1 holding power.

Unrivalled low weight is achieved by the use of a Torlon ratchet pawl, high grade machined alloy sheave and black Acetal hubs and bearings.

On-Off switching knob is fitted to both sides of the swivel blocks (one can be removed if desired). Ratchet blocks can be disassembled for sheave replacement with RF62000.
