Up here, far from salt water and sail boat supply houses, good pulleys are
hard to find. I use the National brand found in most hardware stores around
here for general tower work and some antenna applications, but I wouldn't
consider them jump proof with smaller ropes. However here is a very cheap
and 100% foolproof solution - If the application can overcome the extra
friction, just use a small ceramic egg insulator. It won't be very hard on
the rope and can't snag.
