Braided Rope is Better,
August 20, 2008
By HogHunter from Georgia
"Hoist is supplied with 3/16" twisted nylon rope, not 1/4" as advertised.
For loads over 150 pounds, the supplied rope untwists on the end that is being pulled and care is required to prevent tangling. Braided rope is preferred for pulleys and can be purchased from most hardware stores. Stay with nylon to facilitate cleaning, like washing out blood from wild game."

6x Mechanical Advantage Block and Tackle,
August 12, 2008
"Under load, the block and tackle function is acceptable. You will need gloves, as the rigging line is only about an eighth of an inch and you can cut your hands. The block and tackle is easy to untangle and easy to rig. I especially liked the three-part split jaws and made secure standing part attachment quick, easy, and plainly secure."

Great for lightweight lifting,

"This pulley worked great for me, I bought it specifically to help me lift 100 lb swimming pool chlorine containers out of the trunk and to help me assemble and take down my big artificial Christmas tree (<100 lb sections). It is perfect for those weights, but with the very narrow nylon rope I don't think I'd use it for anything much heavier than 100-200 lbs."

2000 lbs pulley hoist - great product,
April 16, 2008
By laurel from Bellingham, WA
"this pulley is exactly as described. Well made. We use them on the farm to hoist equipment up and out of the way. Right now a set of pulleys are hanging from the rafters holding up a hay elevator. Easy to get at, just a pull of the rope on the pulley & it's back in reach to use to move hay. We trust this pulley to hold the weight listed."
