The AB Tools 26mm Pulley Block is a versatile rigging component designed for sailors, boat owners, and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable solution for managing rope systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-grade 316 stainless steel frame and a removable pin, which allows for effortless rope installation in confined spaces, though users should note it is strictly limited to ropes with a maximum diameter of 8mm.

No, this pulley is specifically rated for ropes up to 8mm in diameter. Using a larger rope may cause excessive friction and potential jamming.
Yes, it is constructed from 316 grade stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion in marine environments.
The bracket is designed to be versatile; however, ensure it is mounted so that the load pulls in line with the pulley wheel to avoid side-loading the frame.
The pulley block has a total length of 59mm.
No, the removable pin is designed to be operated by hand.
Clean the pulley with fresh water to remove grit or salt buildup. If the issue persists, check for debris caught between the wheel and the side plates.
Clear any salt or debris from the threads. A light application of a marine-grade lubricant may help, but ensure it is compatible with nylon components.
To install, simply unscrew the removable pin on the bracket to open the housing, place your rope onto the nylon wheel, and re-secure the pin firmly. Ensure the mounting surface is compatible with the bracket dimensions and can handle the intended load. For care, rinse the pulley with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to prevent salt crystallization within the wheel bearing. Periodically inspect the nylon wheel for signs of grooves or wear, and check that the pin remains tight and free of debris to maintain optimal function.
