Swivel

The Nautos 92441 is a back to back block set with a becket, described as a single swivel with an aluminum sheave. The sheave is 1.10 in (28 mm), the working load is 310 lb (140.61 kg), and the breaking load is 2000 lb (907.18 kg). It is 4.72 in (120 mm) long, takes rope up to 3 in (76.2 mm) and weighs 0.11 lb (49.90 g).

Our take

The becket on this swivel block adds a fixed attachment point beside the 1.10 in aluminum sheave. With a 310 lb working load against a 2000 lb breaking load, match your line's loads to the working figure first.

From our buying guide

Ball-bearing blocks give the lowest friction on lines running under moderate loads. Plain bearings have more friction, but handle very high and static loads.

Check before you buy:

  • A ratchet block is rated for the full sheet load.
  • Any becket's load limit suits the job, since a becket can be rated below the block itself.
  • A soft-attach block will be looked after, since Harken warns soft attachments are prone to wear and recommends them only for regularly maintained race boats.
