Heavy Duty D-Ring
The D-Ring is a safe
device for connecting the
looped ends of cables or
straps creating a secure
winching point. The
D-Ring “pin” is threaded
for easy on/off and is perfect for attaching to snatch blocks.
Make sure your D-Ring is the proper size for your application.
Each has a rating embossed on the side of the ring.
Snatch Block
One of the most
useful accessories
you can carry with
you is a “snatch
block” that allows
you to not only
increase your pulling
power, but it also
can help get you out of angled recoveries where you do
not have a straight pull directly from the winch. By using
a snatch block doubled back from an anchor point to your
vehicle, your pulling capacity increases dramatically. You
can roughly double the pulling power of your winch. We
estimate pulling power actually increases about 1.5 times
due to the angle of the cable and bearing friction created by
the snatch block. Extra pulling power not only prolongs the
life of your winch, it also makes those extra tough situations
more manageable. It is important to note that by using a
snatch block your line speed will be reduced by about 40% so
be patient. You will get more power but less recovery speed.
