Pros & Cons
Pros
This item is fantastic for this sort of hobby use. One drawback is no stop on the tension.
Add an 8mm washer to each side of each pulley and each spacer. Use silicone lubricant to lubricate the pulleys and their washers.
Staghorn fern can be lifted up to a hook 6 feet up, so it could be attached with a chain. Worked perfect to lift a 95lb (shorty) water heater into our attic. Perfect for lifting a full 160lb beer keg.
Cons
The line was discolored and frayed in several places. Not a good thing for a hoist. It's too flimsy.
The rope twists so badly that the snowblower spins. The rope constantly twists the two metal segments of the system, making it perpetually out of alignment. I will be buying some kern mantle rope or something else that will not twist.
Very tiny sapling. Can't hoist up without substantial weight on the hook. Maybe 400 lbs.
Highlights

Best tool i have purchased in a long time
The quality seems good they roll freely and without binding
If i have 4000 lbs of tension on it what ive made is a giant slingshot
I hook this unit to lip of the cover other end to a rope around a fire hydrant and just pull

For the price i would buy again
All in all especially for the money this is a great product and im happy to have it in my arsenal of tools
For the money it is a beefy tool
The first one was 17 and change but this one was more expensive
Shipping
Imo this really should ship with a lot more rope
Packaging/appearance
It came in a nice box and was sturdy
Holding the box back we were able to take a couple turns off the pulleys increasing the amount of weight to be held back and we... Read More
It came bundled up and the top is very stiff

The lvl was 934 wide and 25 feet long and so pretty hard to manage on my own
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I moved the block and tackle to the other end of the porch and pulled up the other end of lvl into approximate location
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I left the block and tackle in place so i could lift or lower the lvl as necessary while i nailed it off to my rafters
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I was raising the lvl about 16 off the ground which was the very limit of the block and tackle
