The Offset Winch Snatch Ring is a machined aluminum winching block for synthetic HMPE winch line up to 7/16" diameter. Two rings and three soft shackles do the job of four standard snatch blocks and five hard shackles at a fraction of the weight and with zero bearing maintenance. Built for electric bumper-mounted winches rated 12,000 lb or less. The offset design solves a real problem: on a 2:1 setup you run the winch line through the hole instead of the groove, so the line physically cannot fall out when tension drops. No babysitter required. It also accepts a cow-hitch extension, so you can park farther from the stuck vehicle and re-rig less often. Machined from USA Kaiser billet 6061 aircraft aluminum in Southern Idaho Type III hard-anodized finish in gun-metal gray, the toughest available MBS 79,590 lb+, pull-apart tested 2.2 lb per ring; two rings replace 4 snatch blocks and 5 hard shackles Offset hole allows through-hole rigging on 2:1 setups so the line stays put under slack Accepts a cow-hitch winch line extension for fewer re-rigging stops mid-recovery Compatible with HMPE winch line up to 7/16" diameter only, never steel cable Zero corrosion, zero bearing maintenance MBS 79,590 lb+ Max Winch Rating 12,000 lb (electric bumper-mounted only) Max Line Diameter 7/16" HMPE synthetic only, never steel cable Total Diameter 5" Groove Diameter 3-1/4" Hole Radius 2-1/4" Max Pull Configuration 5:1 (4:1 requires 2 rings, a safety catch sling and double loop soft shackles) Friction Loss at Peak Load ~10% Weight 2.2 lb Material 6061 aircraft aluminum, Type III hard anodized Origin Machined and anodized in Southern Idaho, USA Safety: When performing a winch recovery, start with a single-line pull (1:1) and work up to other configurations only as needed; the risk of overloading your connection points increases with every added stage. Never exceed a 5:1 pull with this ring. A 4:1 pull is professionals-only and requires two rings, a safety catch sling and double loop 7/16" soft shackles. Use only electric bumper-mounted winches rated 12k lb or less, never steel cable, and not for overhead lifting. You must know the ratings of all tow and connection points before use. Patent pending. American-made, start to finish.
