    Product Information:

    Lightweight

    Kilogram for kilogram of working load, BB and RT Orbit Blocks™ are the world’s lightest. The unique orbital design allows the bearing to only be in the active areas of the floating sheave. This minimises the mass of the inactive return race and hub.

    Weight and bulk are further reduced in the different block configurations. The ball bearing single and becket block has a through-sheave becket arrangement. The result? The lowest weight possible.

    Multi-sheave blocks have only single intermediate cheeks and an ultra-light and efficient head arrangement. This gives a 30% weight saving advantage over the nearest competitor. Other brands just link together their single blocks. This results in unnecessary double cheeks between each sheave, held together by a heavy steel channel across the top of the block.

    Highest working load in its class

    The orbital ball-bearing arrangement gives the largest possible bearing race diameter. This maximises load performance. The proven Ronstan 2-stage bearing system features high compression grade acetal ball bearings and a secondary full-contact bearing. This gives minimum friction across the full working load range.

    The floating sheave and bearing system is supported by a fibre-reinforced load frame. The design was computer modelled to be stress optimised. The Dyneema® Link is produced from FSE Robline SK75 fibre, which is 10 times stronger and lighter than steel, and provides the final connection from the block to the load point.

    Our very favorite Christmas book
    Format: Hardcover
    Absolutely beautiful illustrations. A lovely, sweet, well written story that we literally never tire of. I bought this book for my daughter when she was 5 & she is 7 now. We read this book year round - it is so feel good. Edited 1.5 years later - We still love this book. Never a month passes without reading Dasher, rarely a week. My daughter owns nearly 600 books. She read 40 *new* books in August alone, so we do a whole lot of reading in this house. And we still, time and again, come back to Dasher. We love this book so much that I'm back today to order a copy for a friend's granddaughter. While here to place that order I noticed all the negative reviews and felt the need to address them. I am absolutely astonished at how many people can create something to be offended about where there is nothing. Yes, Dasher & her family start the story in a travelling circus. There are zero descriptions of animal cruelty. There is absolutely nothing dark or scary. My daughter has been homeschooled her entire life & is beyond sheltered. She is gifted-intense, which comes with super emotional sensitivity & big, big feelings. Not only does Dasher not frighten or upset her, it is one of my top go-to books to help soothe her when she is upset about something. As for the ending being confusing, that is hog wash. There is nothing choppy or unclear or confusing in the story. Apparently there are more Grinches running amok in the world than I realized!

    The artwork is beautiful
    Format: Hardcover
    Such a sweet story with beautiful artwork! It is a little on the longer side so may not be good for younger kids with short attention spans
