Dingo Snatch Block — DSB22
Keeps rope under control as load changes — no flip-out, compatible with soft and steel shackles, for smoother, worry-free winching.
Quick Answers
Compatibility: Synthetic rope & soft shackles (steel cable via DSB22-S) Rating: 22T MBL — suits most 8,000–13,500 lb winches
Why Dingo Block: More controlled than a ring, lighter than traditional steel blocks
The Dingo Snatch Block( Dingo Block) is designed for real-world winching with modern rope-based recovery setups.
Rather than focusing on redirection or complexity, it focuses on keeping the rope under control as load builds and releases — making the winching process predictable when angles, tension, and setup aren’t perfect.
It works naturally with both soft and steel shackles, reducing the need to constantly monitor the line or worry about flip-out during the pull.
A bearing wheel design helps minimize friction and heat build-up compared to a winch ring, making it better suited for longer, continuous winching runs.
Model Options
DSB22-A
Aluminum wheel designed exclusively for fiber rope.
Weight: 1.66 kg
DSB22-S
Steel wheel.
Weight: 2.15 kg
Compatible with soft rope and steel cable.
If used with steel cable, do not subsequently use with fiber rope, as steel cable may damage the fiber.
Compact, lightweight, tough, and soft-shackle friendly.
The Dingo Snatch Block is designed to support efficient winching setups, featuring a greased bearing wheel that allows for long, smooth pulls under load.
