Grip 2000 lb Rope Pulley Hoist

I like that the rope is already installed and it looks pretty heavy duty. This will come in very handy

I added locknuts and flat washers to the bolts, with some loctite. now they cannot come apart. Next I added some good paracord 1/8''. now it should lift well over 250 lbs, but would NOT recommend it. used it to lift 70lb engine parts for painting. but you might ask if i went through all that, why not just get a $25 one LOL.

rope is too thin to really work with compared to its weight rating

The line that came with the blocks was useless.

I use this for my Shade Sail in my backyard (not to hoist anything) and it is great for that. Started to rust after 3 years of being outside constantly so that is reason for 4 star. I wanted to post because I see bad reviews for hoisting so I thought I would give a good review for a different use. It allows me to attach and pull tight my Shade Sail without having to climb a latter to connect it and works well for this. I am buying another for another Shade Sail.

The pulley worked as expected with one exception. It lifted item twirled in the air. This was resolved by purchasing a marine braided line.

I read the bad reviews and compared them with the product. I found that it was true you need to check the top and bottom nuts and put either lock tight or I just put some silicone on the tread end to make sure they do not come off. But for the price and the job I bought them for they work GREAT. BUT DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO LIFT 2000 LBS. Maybe if the line was tied to a jeep so it doesn't cut your hands off it might try but the line used would fail. I wanted something to pull up and hold 5 gallon planting buckets full of water and planting mix. No more than 80 lbs and they were fairly easy to lift off the ground and while I do not like poly rope it will do until I need to replace it with nylon. GREAT EQUIPMENT FOR MY NEED AND PRICE.

It does what it says, but easily gets twisted when trying to haul a load up.
