Feb. 16, 2020, post by Dave Santos Revolutionary sheaveless blocks From the webpage- Snatch Blocks | West Marine
"Blocks
without rotating sheaves or any moving parts offer the advantages of
the lightest weight, extreme reliability and, surprisingly, very low
friction. They’re made from slippery hardkote-anodized aluminum and
work best with low-friction Dyneema line (stuff that’s so slippery that
it doesn’t hold knots terribly well, and actually runs more easily over
the block as the load increases)."
Will prove cheaper too. See lower half of page-
