A perfect example of the quality of engineering and craftsmanship that Notch puts into their products, the Notch 19mm Rigging Spring Block is a rigorously tested high-quality block that rivals the DMM Impact Blocks for a fraction of the price. The side plates are hot-forged aluminum for maximum strength and rope-friendly rounded edges with a high-wall design that protects your rope and sling from touching the tree. The precision CNC machined aluminum sheaves have a wide bend radius to reduce the rope strength lost when bending, and have a 150kN MBS. The low-profile spring pin lock features a secure, two-stage locking motion with a spring that allows you to lock and unlock your block easily while wearing gloves.
