One Way to Use Snatch Blocks for a Winch Out

Snatch blocks are essential rigging and recovery tools. They provide a critical pivot point to change the angle and direction of a pull or increase the load capacity of a winch line. In this video, we show you one way to set up snatch blocks to change the direction of your winch line and perform the winch out. Order your new snatch blocks at Zips.com today!

This guy is a natural in front of the camera. He should be in more videos. Also, I thought he explained the second snatch block pretty clearly. Maybe it’s easy to miss 🤷‍♀️

No need for two snatch blocks. The one closer to the end of the bed was fine

Thank you for your thoughts!

The second snatch block centers the winch on the drum, Doesn't matter much if you use the whole chain on the end block, but if you put all of the chains in the hole to get the block much tighter in the corner of the bed then the 2nd block helps a ton if you have steel wire rope.

I like how we didn't get to see the vehicle loaded up

[@sharonphillips108]

ive been a recovery operator for year now and even though the Americans have great vehicles and equipment i really do think they over complicate every situation they get into ... sometimes its painful to watch.....

What was the 2nd snatch block doing

[@towtruckaj]

Centering the wire rope on the winch drum.
