hardware stores and was hoping someone could make a good suggestion based on
their
experiences.
What you need is a steel snatch block; that is, one that opens up so you
can "snatch" the rope at any point instead of passing the length of rope
thru the pulley. I get mine from local rigging shops for less than $20.
They're
Chinese but work fine.
The plastic pulleys from Champion Radio Products are good for ropes but
not steel; the sheave is too soft.
