What the experts have to say

Order Quantity 1 = 1 Ring   

For use with synthetic HMPE winch line ONLY

WARNING: When performing a winch recovery, start with a single line pull (1:1), and work up to other configurations, ie 2:1 ---> 3:1, etc. The risk of overloading your tow/connection points increases with each additional configuration. Never exceed a 5:1 pull with this ring.

A 4:1 pull should ONLY be done by professionals, using 2 winch rings, a safety catch sling, and double loop 7/16" soft shackles are required. In these configurations, it is easy to exceed the rating of some tow/connection points, you MUST KNOW those ratings before use.

These are NOT designed for heavy-duty wrecker use. Use ONLY electric bumper-mounted winches rated at 12k lb or less. NEVER use Steel Cable with this ring, Only use a Synthetic (HMPE) winch line no larger than 7/16" diameter. Not for over-head use.

Description

The Offset Winch Snatch Ring is a machined aluminum winching block designed for synthetic HMPE winch line up to 7/16" diameter. Two rings and three soft shackles do the job of four standard snatch blocks and five hard shackles at a fraction of the weight and zero bearing maintenance. Built for electric bumper-mounted winches rated 12,000 lbs or less.

The offset design solves a real problem: on a 2:1 setup, you run the winch line through the hole instead of the groove, which means the line physically cannot fall out when tension drops. No babysitter required. It also accepts a cow hitch extension, so you can park farther from the stuck vehicle and reduce how often you have to stop and re-rig.

  • Machined from USA Kiser billet 6061 aircraft aluminum in Burley, Idaho
  • Type III hard anodized finish in gun metal gray, toughest available
  • MBS 79,590 lbs+ pull-apart tested
  • 2.2 lbs per ring; two rings replace 4 snatch blocks and 5 hard shackles
  • Offset hole allows through-hole rigging on 2:1 setups so the line stays put under slack
  • Accepts cow hitch winch line extension for fewer re-rigging stops mid-recovery
  • Compatible with HMPE winch line up to 7/16" diameter only, never steel cable
  • Zero corrosion, zero bearing maintenance

HUGE BENEFITS

  • Cut the equipment you carry in half, reducing weight, saving space
  • Reduces line load and strain on winch
  • Up to a 4 part line with only two winch rings
  • No friction build up on the shackle from a spinning ring
  • Reduce line speed

NO BABYSITTING

A traditional winch ring requires someone to babysit the winch line, making sure it doesn't fall out of the groove while the line is slack. Also, if you have ever winched while climbing rocks, the vehicle can lurch forward, causing the line to drop out of the groove, then the vehicle can slip back down, causing the full tention to be placed on the soft shackle. Needless to say, it needed a solution for this. With the offset winch ring, on a 2:1 set up, you can dive through the hole instead of the groove, now the line will never fall out.

Innovation

We designed the offset winch ring as the first to allow an extension to pass through the ring, whether it be through the hole or around the groove. You can now park farther away from the stuck vehicle and reduce the amount of times you have to stop and redo the rigging. Simply connect two winchlines by using the "cow hitch" shown in the image.
