This is a small Nautos block with a hook, 70 mm long. Stainless steel balls run on stainless rails, and a full molded jacket protects the sheave. It takes line up to 6 mm, with a working load of 122.47 kg and a breaking load of 226.80 kg. The axle is open, so a rope can be tied through it. The block weighs 17.01 g.
Our take
The 6 mm line limit defines this hooked block, so it only takes thin line. It weighs just 17.01 g, and the open axle lets the rope be tied through rather than needing a separate becket.
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.
