Factor 55 has engineered the world's first winch friction pulley featuring a patented rope retention feature. This innovative pulley provides a lightweight alternative to traditional heavy snatch blocks and pulleys. Designed for use with synthetic rope only, the RRP can enhance pulling power or redirect the winch line as needed. Equipped with patented rope retention rubber fingers, it prevents synthetic winch rope from escaping the pulley groove during momentary slack, thus preventing premature rope failure. The oversized hole radius ensures a smooth rubbing surface and prevents the legs of the soft shackle from rubbing against the edges of the RRP. Additionally, the critical friction surface is treated with TEFLON for increased slickness and heat dissipation.
