After working alongside leading rope manufacturers, the Allen design team developed a simple solution that improves grip without damaging your expensive rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wave Sheave features an offset V-style grip, made from hard-wearing recycled nylon, without the sharp edges that can wear into the line. By slightly offsetting the V formation within the sheave, the ratchet grips the line at additional points around the sheave, resulting in significantly greater holding power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wave Sheave not only improves grip but also provides a smoother, less \"jumpy\" feel when easing sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWave Sheave\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wave Sheave offers 20% to 40%* more grip without adding any additional wear to the rope. For maximum performance, we recommend pairing this ratchet block with 7mm Excel Marstron Plus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"X2\" is our innovative double pawl system, designed to increase the longevity of the ratchet mechanism. Unlike conventional ratchet blocks, the X2 pawl system shares the load across two pawls within the mechanism. This results in a more durable and reliable ratcheting system capable of withstanding higher loads over a longer service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel Lock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swivel can be locked in 90-degree orientations using the small black swivel lock at the top of the block.
