Description
Red Winch Snatch Ring 5T + Roadsafe Soft Shackle & Drying Bag
---------------------------------------------------
Our RED Winch “Snatch Rings” offer a strong, lightweight and safe alternative to the traditional metal snatch block.
The “Snatch Ring” fits perfectly into a pocket or glove box. This makes it an ideal accessory to have in your truck for overlanding expeditions or in competition when your co-driver is having to climb steep slopes.
Frictional losses are not as big as one might think, especially when using low friction line such as Dyneema or Plasma.
Lighter and smaller than a conventional steel or aluminium pulley block, these Snatch Rings are a popular alternative for many applications where traditional blocks once ruled. Instead of rolling on a pulley sheave, the active line with a ferrule merely slides on the inside smooth surface of the ring.
Because it weighs very little, it is less likely to cause injury if it strikes a crew member in the unlikely event the truck rolls and it hasn’t been secured.
It is easy to store in your truck cab, doesn’t damage surrounding kit, doesn’t rust and can be used for in far more situations that a traditional steel shackle.
Our Redwinch “Snatch Rings” have been extensively tested. The ideal strength can approach five (5) times the line strength if required. This means when attached to a typical winch line, it is likely the winch line will break long before the “Snatch Ring” does.
