The various brand-name pulleys mentioned by Grant are of course excellent,
particularly for ropes 1/4" or more.
For smaller lines, 1/8" or 3/16", I have been using "kayak pulleys" that cost
around $5-$7. I first installed some of these 22 years ago to hold the
parasitic elements on my 160m array. They are still in service. Here is one

Subject: [TowerTalk] pulley advice
Greetings fellow tower dwellers,
I need to replace pulleys used to haul up 80 meter dipole ends. I need to
find sources for good quality pulleys, perhaps stainless steel types used
on sailboats?
I also need a general purpose, 4 inch diameter pulley for hoisting antennas
(big) on the tower. Perhaps this one should be the snatch block variety?
So what are your go-to sources? Google always returns plenty of hits.
Knowing who the good suppliers are and the quality of goods is very
important and hard to judge from advertising info.
Thanks and 73,
Dave, K4TO
