Rope Ratchet 3/8" Block and Tackle Pulley Hoist - Overhead Lifting

Holds good

I’ve been using rope ratchets for 30 years! They are the best tie down I’ve ever used! In fact they are so good that everyone who uses mine likes them so much I never get them back. This is about the 10th one I’ve bought! Now I do have to admit, they haven’t all been stolen from me. Some people “lost” them. Others borrowed and never gave them back, and some people offered to buy them from me. Whenever I have been without, I’ve tried other ratchet ties, but I always come back to rope ratchets. The thing that first drew me to them is that if you ever need a longer rope, you can easily swap out the one that comes with it for pretty much any rope laying around the house. Not as many people have webbing just laying around the house, like the other ratchet ties use. Now some will say you can’t crank down on rope ratchets to get them as tight as the other ratchet ties. That may be true, but with just using my muscles and tightening any slack in the rope I’ve never had a problem loosing a load. I can’t say the same from the other ratchet ties where the webbing has slipped out, if it’s not put in correctly, endangering not only the load but everyone’s safety as well. Ratchet ties have also jammed on me and locked up, and more often than not just frustrate me. But not the rope ratchet. It’s easy and dependable every time. Rope ratchets come in different sizes and load bearing capacities. I’ve tried some of the others, but this size is ideal for me. I’d recommend this to everyone. I don’t even have a truck anymore, but I still come up with lots of reasons to use rope ratchets, like quickly tying up piles of branches from my orchard to drag away.

The Rope Ratchet Pulley Hoist is perfect for lifting heavy totes to my ceiling storage! The 3/8" block and tackle system works smoothly, and the 15' rope is durable and easy to handle. With a 250 lbs capacity, it handles heavy loads effortlessly. The hanger is sturdy, and the ratchet mechanism ensures secure lifting. It’s made organizing my garage so much easier. Highly recommend this handy tool!

...because the package arrived with the rope attached to, well, nothing. Just sitting there in the box. Hook-thing on one side of the box. Ratchet-thing on the other. Clearly a do-it-yourself type setup. OR maybe they are shipping product so fast they've started on short-cuts? No idea. But all things considered, if you don't tie a proper knot--and tie it properly--then things might not quite work out the way you planned. Seems to me that having a few employees who know how to tie the correct knot is much more reliable than depending on 1,000 customers to each get it right. In any event, all that said, the pieces of the product, once properly tied and put together, certainly worked as advertised. So, four stars.

Exactly as described, good quality.

I bought two to help tie down items in my pickup or trailer. I use them once or twice a week and they do the job. They always work properly and never loosen up. Reliability is critical when managing loads. The S-hooks are substantial and the gear/ratchet/pawl always work smoothly. A friend watched me use mine and bought some for himself. I plan to buy more.

Came in handy for a special project. Sheathing the walls of my shop building with 7/16" OSB. Walls are 12' high so I was unsure about how I would get the sheets to the top working by myself. Had the idea to purchase this product and very glad I did. The OSB sheets weight approximately 55 pound each, well within the working range of this tool. Built a simple brace to fit between the trusses and hooked the pulley to it. Hoisted up the sheets with no problem and seemed safer that it would have been with two men and two ladders. Pictures attached to better explain. Hope this helps somebody.

I bought these and some D rings and was able to lift 20’ 2x8 dock stringers with ease. I never knew these existed and will be sure to use them for other oddball things. Kind of pricey but the quality is what’s important, you won’t regret buying them I can promise that.

I use this pulley to assist me in getting my mountain bike up into the rafters after the summer season. Because this pulley ratchets it allows for a very easy poll and then simply look in my front and rear wheel into the two hooks. Love this item

Works great. I wouldn't use it to lift anything heavier than a tire on a rim which is what i use it for. Saves my back and shoulder from carrying the wheel up the ladder to the tire rack. A brake on the release would be good for lowering heavy items and avoiding rope burn.

Used to suspend a kayak in the shed. Easy to use and strong.

I bought two rope ratchets to stabilize our deck umbrella. They are very easy to use, aesthetically don't look bad, and (most importantly) do the job very well. I'm considering buying a few more for use when we travel to tie things down on our vehicles.

I use mine to put tires on racks at top of garage. This one isn't strong enough to hoist the wheel without lifting the load a bit but it feel very secure while I am on a ladder putting wheels up or down.
