00260 – Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley (RRP)
Friction-Based Recovery, Reinvented
Traditional snatch blocks? Heavy, clunky, steel. The Factor 55 Rope Retention Pulley is none of those things. This is the world’s first winch pulley engineered specifically for synthetic rope — and it doesn’t just guide your line, it protects it.
Unlike standard pulleys, the RRP features patented rope retention fingers to prevent your synthetic rope from escaping the groove when tension slacks — a major innovation that reduces risk of rope damage or failure. It’s built from lightweight billet-machined 6000 series aluminum, hard anodized for durability, and weighs just 21 oz.
If you're running synthetic rope and want a safer, smarter way to double your winch power or redirect your line, the RRP is the only choice that makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use this with steel cable?
A: No — this is for synthetic winch rope only. Using it with steel cable will damage both the pulley and the rope.
Q: What do I need to use this properly?
A: A synthetic winch rope and a soft shackle. It’s not compatible with steel shackles.
Q: Why is it better than a standard snatch block?
A: Lighter, no sharp edges, no need to disassemble, and far safer with synthetic rope systems.
Q: What happens if the rope goes slack?
A: The patented retention fingers keep it from jumping out of the pulley, reducing failure risk.
