    Also known as snatch blocks, these pulleys open so it's easier to feed the rope through the housing—a free rope end is not needed.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    2 Grooves—Pulleys with two grooves are for use where multiple pulleys move a single load, such as block and tackle systems. They require about half the force of a single-groove pulley to move the same load.
    Hook Latch Kits—Latch kits (sold separately) add a latch to the swiveling hook on Style C to keep rope secure.
