Barton Snatch Blocks give the crew the option to locate the block anywhere on deck using the stainless steel snap shackle, then locate a rope into the sheave without the need to reeve the line through. The side plate unclips to allow easy access.

Manufactured using 316 stainless steel, they come with a snap shackle, snap hook, and glass-filled nylon side plates. You can also choose a stainless steel D Shackle for ultimate strength.
