A rope pulley without wheels! No jammed wheels, easy to use, doesn't break. Carry it on your belt or in your pocket — what could be better? I have had mine for about seven years; it goes backpacking, hunting, and off-roading with me, and it's used around the house. Originally from Australia, this rope winch has a multitude of uses: winching, as a pulley, or as a tie-down.

Currently I have found it at Alaska Cool tools, my be available elsewhere, I bought mine at an outdoor show demonstration.
