Notch Safe Bloc

Notch SafeBloc is a revolutionary rigging tool that increases safety by adding controlled friction to the rigging system at the top of the tree. It reduces stress on the anchor point and facilitates assisted lowering for increased efficiency.[2][7]

SafeBloc can be used in any configuration where a block or tackle is normally used for rigging. By threading ropes through one, two, or all three holes, you can adjust the friction level as needed – maximum friction through all three holes. The tool is ideal for small to medium loads without the need for basal lowering friction, while larger loads require additional braking.[2][3][7]

Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty. SafeBloc has no moving parts, is lightweight and durable with a hard-anodized surface for an extremely long lifespan.[2][7]

Note: For medium and larger loads, combine with basal lowering friction. Choose friction level before use.
