[TowerTalk] Good Quality Pulleys

[David Gilbert]

I bought two of these 3" double pulleys to use as a block and tackle 
system for raising antennas up my tower.  They were pricey, but I didn't 
find anything of comparable quality for less money after LOTS of searching.

They also have many other pulleys as you can see from the links to the 
left of the page.

By the way, I have a self supporting tower (AN Wireless) with large 
cross members, and these gorilla hooks work great with my full-body 
harness.  They are very light weight and easy to use.
