Some good ones come up on Ebay, now and then. Ones that have half inch to 5/8"capacity go for around $100. I have seen some military ones, in there too.
If the seller can get it in a Flate Rate Box, the shipping isn't bad. Look for one that has a zerk fitting for grease.

Just remember.... The only thing better then a snatch block, is two snatch blocks! You might not use them often, but when you do...

Just about any of the Military Vehicle shows will have one for sale somewhere. Aberdeen had a few as I remember.

First off welcome to Steel Soldiers.

Do you need one for a duece of five ton or a small Jeep winch?

They are BII to the wreckers and if you are really lucky like I was you will find one in the tool box of the duece with a winch. You can also find them at big yard sales the ones that have the whole town selling stuff. I got a great one at a sale like that for $5.00 from a lady who was just trying to sell off stuff. I also bought a great one at a flea market in Texas it came from the oil well fields and it works great. I paid $15.00 for that one but it probably cost a couple hundred to make.

If you want a small one for a Jeep winch the ones made by Warn and Milemarker are great because they take up a small amount of room and are rated above the winch capacity

Good luck on your hunt.

RE: snatch block

There is a pair on Ebay now #180192934865. They will be adequate for your M 35. Two parts in your line, doubles your pull (rated capacity). The other trick is to use it so you can go around a corner with your line, and not snarl up your drum.

I just bought one from TNJ Murray in Dover Delaware. The owner,John Murray spent alot of time with me showing me around and answering questions. Very helpful, prices seem fair. He had tons of them as well as chains, cables and other rigging stuff. Let me root through piles of stuff till I found what I wanted.

All you need is the 6", it's only 20lbs max. The 8" is about 80lbs. Unless you are Hulk Hogan go with the 6".I got mine from Sam Winers in OH. for $ 42.50, but I've seen them at shows for $10.00. I've pulled over a few trees with it including the one leaning over my house. I think its a necessity for the 1/2" cable on the deuce winch. ph 330/628-4881
