will this block work with 1/2" rope ?

Chainsaw: I don't feel you will have any problems with 1/2" rope unless the rope is frayed or a knot has to pass. Example: 1/2" nylon rope or similar with no loops, knots or frayed pass through it smoothly with no clearance issues.

I'd guess the rope to be 3/8". I would be hesitant to load it with anything approaching 500lb. The construction of the block & tackle itself does not look remotely sturdy enough to lift a full size car (the equivalent of about 4000lb)

I used mine to install an above ground hoist on 4 inch steel reinforced concrete floor. It drilled 10 5/8 inch holes with out a problem. I am not sure how much larger bit a 1/2 inch drill will hold but con considerably more.

John, I have mine mounted on a 1" pole with plenty of room to spare. It will definitely fit on a 1&1/4" pole and it looks though it might be a real tight fit that it would work on a 1&1/2" pole as well.

I have 2 1/2" and it fits perfectly. I think anything thicker would not work.

Would accommodate a 3/8" strap; not sure if a 1/2" strap would fit. The hooks where Installed on an antique clothes tree and gifted to a family member; now used to hang baseball hats. :-)

It will work with both sizes. The mounting pole has 1 1/2" on one end and 2" on the other.

We have only hung a 3/4 and a full, but I see no reason why a 1/2 wouldn't fit at all. It should be just fine!

It appears, that the useful "inside diameter" of the belt loop is actually 2", rather than 2 1/4". Since your belt is still half an inch shorter then that, it would seem, that may allow for a little expansion of the loop to accommodate the 1/4 inch thickness, as it loosens up. Seems like it might work, but really can't tell.

I am not a plumber, but I do not believe this will work with 1/2" plumbling. I had a 1" line put in. These are pretty high tech and designed to work according to their specs. I also do not think plastic would work due to temperature. Troy.

It will handle 2" stock, but I not sure if they will open up to 3 1/2". The clamps are @ a different location so I can't measure them.

If you're using that many then yes 3/8 rope will be fine. 2 or less you'd want bigger size

I have a 50# long bow and it works great with it. You will be happy with the classic block

Yes it will. You can gain more strength with multiple passes, but it will stick two 1/4" pieces together. Great product for the price.

If the pipe threads coming out of the wall are 1/2" male, it should work fine.

No, it will not accept 1/2" rope, but it does come with a yellow nylon rope that is strong enough to hoist your deer. I hung 2 this year with no issues.

I put 2 standard sticks side by side but I have not tried a full pound block, but my guess is that it will.
