Not much to say here lmao the title says it all…

Looking to buy a block that can run 3/4 rope and a dead eye sling! Like this 1 I’d like something light. Definitely not steel. But open to other options thanks fam!

What ya plan on rigging with all that?

A bunch of us on here caught wind of Buckingham selling off some of the large ISC blocks dirty cheap on eBay a few months back. Maybe someone will thin their herd.

lol trees what do you mean? I’d rather have 1 pulley to do trees than a couple! Plus my boss doesn’t use 5/8s either 1/2 or 3/4 inch

Yeah that would be nice I’ll check on eBay right now! But also hoping someone will respond like you said.

That’s some heavy duty stuff!!!! Rarely does the 5/8” even ever come out of the truck for me.

Yeah I feel ya but my boss doesn’t use double braid ropes.. so your half inch double braid is probably very close to our 3/4 inch 3 strand.

I use double braid but I’m looking for 1 for work. I also use ring slings. My boss will pay me back if I find him 1

It's cheap and the job gets done. What's not to love?!

Some things.


I beat my Treemaster routinely. Very durable.

Bad for speed lines. Bad for rotating under load.

Takes breaking in well for good knotting.

Oh, I was definitely being sarcastic. In my still relatively limited experience, I would take a twelve strand over a three all day for that beat-it-up type all-purpose rope, though I am curious to hear why treemaster stays in your quiver?

No thanks I’ve done enough of natural crotch rigging.. I got used to using rigging rings and love them but my boss wants a pulley so I just ordered it. So going to close this out and I’m sure a great pulley will come along shortly. I always miss the good deals.!

Sorry for derailing your thread bruv, hope you get what you want. Cheers

Just a thought, buy some 9/16 atlas or the like instead of a big heavy block to take the 3-strand 3/4 which has similar WLL and is half the weight.

I've glazed true blue with a heavy speedline on a biner.

I use a rope puller, regularly.

Yup that’s why he won’t change at that aspect. You can buy a whole roll of my 3 strands for the same price as a 200ft rope. He definitely won’t do that but atleast I got him to start using a block and rigging rings

Wish I could but my boss won’t use anything but 3 strand. I’d have to buy it myself. I have my own double braid rigging ropes but I use those for my jobs, I don’t want to waste them at work and not get anything for it but a worn out rope! Just takes more outta my pocket.

Your good brother.. yeah I got the 3/4 isc block and a 3/4 dead eye sling. For $310. Not bad at all plus my boss is paying for it. He just don’t do all that online shopping or Amazon lol
