The 1.5" Omni-Block Double features 2 x 38mm (1.5") Sheaves and a rating of 36kN.
The Omni-Block combines a swivel and pulley into one tool and incorporates a unique side plate that opens while the pulley is still attached to the anchor. Traditionally, a pulley is connected to a swivel by a carabiner. However, the Omni eliminates the need for the carabiner, reducing the length and pieces of equipment in the rigging system. The short length of the Omni is important when used in high-angle, confined spaces or other space-sensitive rigging environments. The reduced weight of the Omni will make hauling your gear easier. The Omni side plate can be opened without detaching from the carabiner. Traditional pulleys require removing from the carabiner to change the rope. With the Omni, the user is able to do this while the pulley is still secured.
Features:
Allows rope change without detachment from carabiner
The integrated swivel top allows the pulley to orient as needed in response to the load.
The pulley body is machined from a solid block of aluminum for strength optimization and weight reduction.
Shortens the length of rigging by combining the pulley and swivel in one device.
More than happy with this company. They had the mask in stock, I also needed some info on it and Jim was more than helpful. I would recommend anyone looking for PPE to give them a call if you can't see it online.
Buy in bulk and save! Great item. Just what I needed to keep going with what I do. As described - 50 pairs in a box, Postage was prompt! Happy to buy again.
Sorry pushed enter by mistake... to continue on from previous comment.. The Sundstrom membrane kit is a great addition, ie not having to replace the entire mask. The membrane proved very effective at blocking ultra fine particles of sandstone, which I didn't realise until i cleaned the mask. Wouldn't work in noodling machine ( picking opals off conveyor belt) withour one.
