[TowerTalk] Multi sheve pully

Yo, 

Dave, K4TO, is searching for a way to lift a rather heavy rotor. LOTS of suggestions. Here's mine: 

Dave, look at Northern Tool. I think this link will get you close:

Inexpensive and they work. Well under $15. I replaced the poly rope with a nylon braid. Easier to handle. Doesn't twist up and look like a snake. 
I believe its a 4:1 or 5:1 lift ratio, so good force multiplier. I don't know if I'd trust it for overhead lifting of real heavy things, but it would probably work for what you need. 

That is all.
