hand winchs and snatch blocks?

Post by twinnie »

g'day all my question to every one is can a hand winch with it's stiffer cable be used with a snatch block?

does any one have a hand winch that says you can't?

has anyone done it?

Probably the bigger the wheel the better, it's easier on the cable... and when you're using it DON'T stand in the bite.... that's the angle formed in the cable by the snatch block, but you probably already knew that....
