Snatch Block! I want to take a moment to thank those of you who support Smarter Every Day on Patreon. I'd also like to point out 2 things about this video. #1. You'll notice Jeremy Fielding is in this video. He's the "Contraption Fabricator" that's started working with me now because of your support on Patreon. He's a great designer, father, and friend. You'll be seeing more of Jeremy around thanks to those who support at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday/ #2. If you'd like to 3D print the Snatch Blocks and pulleys we use in this video they are here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4022579 #3. I really enjoy KiwiCo and I think you will too. I got them as a Christmas gift for my children years ago, and it was a huge hit. It was after that experience that I reached out to their team and asked if I could advertise for them because of how good it was for our family. I think you'll enjoy it too. www.kiwico.com/smarter It was 3 things... I ended up pointing out 3 things.

The guy that stopped to help you gave me a big smile too, hands weathered from what must have been a lifetime of physical labor gave and instantly knowing what to do, how to help and taking the time out of his day to stop for a stranger, very respectable and heartwarming.

A rule of thumb we always used for figuring out mechanical advantage for rope rescue systems was, if the pulley (or snatch block) is moving with the load, it is providing a mechanical advantage. If it is not moving with the load (i.e. it is attached to an anchor point not a part of the load) it is only providing a change of direction.

You must respect the wires under tension. If they snap, they can kill.

Yes pulleys are amazing but always remember the safe working limit of your cable / line / rope / strop etc quickly becomes the governing factor. Great production by the way, makes learning stuff fun !

Hey Destin, I bought some Snatch Blocks after this video came out (Same ones you used). Never used them but I got to today! We used a double snatch to lift up a heavy piece of furniture up some stairs. Only knew how to do it because of this video.

I am so happy I was recommended this by YouTube. This guy was fun, I loved the interaction with his kids, and all the visuals and everything about the way he teaches! The snatch block was awesome and now I’m thinking how I can use something like this at my construction job!

Your enthusiasm for science and engineering is contagious! We've got snatch blocks on our wish lists now! We have also loved kiwi crates, my oldest spends hours building and playing with the awesome things they send her. Thank you for your video.
