Re: Warn M8000 Winch Group Buy - One week only!

I'm really just bumping to help out, but if anyone feels like answering this I would appreciate it:

Should I go ahead and buy a snatch block to use with my shiny new M8000 winch? The WARN snatch blocks are like $75! Ouch! That's a lot for a single pulley. Granted, an "indestructible pulley", but really...how much has anyone ever used their snatch blocks?
Snatch Block.

I would buy one. Reason: I have used mine twice in less than twelve months. First time was to pull a downed tree off of the trail. Without the snatch block I don't think we would have been able to do it as easily as we did. Second time was for a trail cleanup where we were pulling trash up a steep hill along a narrow road. There would have been no way to get a straight pull on the narrow road we were on without using the snatch block.
