Stein rigging tension pulley worth the cost?

[Dave Alviti]

That said it does look the business!

I don't think the Aztec blocks are mid line attachable on there own? and again not 16mm, and the whole Aztec pulling set up would completely befuddle some of the guys I work with!

 

If you add a prussik loop they can be.

Na the protable powered winch with the 5.5hp honda engine. It runs at something like 1000 times faster and i get it out at any excuse.

Nice, with rope or cable? What will that lift? Any chance of some pics of it in action?!

Oops! Looks a good set up though, are you lifting that to load it on a truck? Is it a bit overkill for pretensioning then? Is it a capstan style or some other means?

Yeah a rolling drum, i bought it for a job but use it a lot in reality these days. Just saves the old back muscles. It pretensions extremely well but if you only need to do one bit it is overkill.
