With a wide variety of variations, sizes and weight limitations, it’s important to know what to search for when choosing a snatch block for the work. Factors to keep in mind when choosing a snatch block for your rigging requirements:
Check the Operating Load Limit (WLL) of both snatch block and the cable rope. If the WLL of the pulley isn’t appropriate for the WLL of the rope, it could create a dangerous situation if either one should fail.
Coordinate how big is the sheave in the snatch prevent to the size of the wire rope. If the wire rope is too big for the sheave, the prevent can crack. Generally, the wire rope-to-sheave size ratio should be 12:1 as a way to hold the wire effectively while under load.
Know your numbers. Just because a snatchblock can slice the direct pull load in two, select a rigging pulley which has a rating of dual the pull of the winch you’ll be using with it.

For use with from sailboats to ATVs, a snatch prevent can be a actual workhorse. Called a rigging block since it plays a part in or “snatches” the 
mechanical push of pull, it includes a unique mixture of power and overall flexibility. When used in combination with a winch, a block lets you pull or lift large things by “breaking” the draw span between your object and the winch. This cuts the direct pull load in two, which doubles the volume of excess weight your winch can draw.
