snatch block
A snatch block is a type of pulley system used primarily with cables or ropes for heavy lifting or moving heavy objects. It's designed with a swivel hook or shackle, a roller bearing, and the ability to open on one side to easily feed a line or cable without having to thread it through. The wheels or sheaves can rotate, reducing the amount of effort or force needed to lift or move objects. This makes snatch blocks a crucial tool in various industries such as construction, rigging, boating, logging, and towing.
Webster Dictionary
