The PLB1030B is a 10,000 lb working load limit snatch block — the heavy-duty option in the PIERCE snatch block line. 10 in block with a 5 in sheave, 1 in pin, and 3 in attachment hole. No hook included; attaches via the 3 in hole.
What does a snatch block do for a winch?
It doubles your winch’s pulling capacity by routing the cable through a moving pulley — half the load on the cable, half the strain on the motor, twice the pulling power at the load. Also lets you change pull direction (run the cable around a corner). Essential for stuck-vehicle recoveries beyond a single-line pull.
