Introducing the Revolutionary Pro-Ratchet 40: A Game-Changer in Tool Technology
We are excited to introduce our latest product, the Pro-Ratchet 40. This high-performance 40mm ratchet block features a revolutionary aluminium sheave designed to enhance grip and control like never before.
The Pro-Ratchet 40 is our first ratchet block to incorporate an aluminium sheave, expertly engineered to provide superior grip on the rope. This allows sailors to handle their sheets with greater confidence in all sailing conditions. Whether you are trimming the spinnaker sheet during a gust of wind or fine-tuning your jib, the Pro-Ratchet 40 is built for exceptional performance.
It’s important to note that this product is not solely focused on grip; it also emphasizes providing sailors with confidence on the water. The anodised aluminium sheave is lightweight yet incredibly strong, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance that sailors can rely on. With its sleek and compact design, the Pro-Ratchet 40 is perfect for those who demand the best from their sailing gear.
We have put the Pro-Ratchet 40 through rigorous lifecycle testing to meet the highest durability standards. It has been subjected to extensive load cycles, extreme weather conditions, and saltwater exposure, to guarantee resilience against corrosion and wear. The tested breaking load of the Pro-Ratchet 40 is 600 kg, while its maximum working load is 180 kg, making it a dependable choice for sailors looking for reliability.
During its development, we compared the Pro-Ratchet 40 with some of the bestselling 40-55mm ratchet blocks on the market. Our model outperformed all competitors when using a 6mm line, demonstrating 0.75 times more grip than the nearest benchmark and an impressive 1.96 times grip compared to the least effective model.
