Arbsession Fiddle Block Tree Pulling Kit
Get mechanical advantage with this 5:1 fiddle block pulley system. The upper block has an integrated cam device to hold progress of rope. The mechanical advantage you generate with this set will help lift the heaviest of loads.
This fiddle block kit works great with a Portawrap (sold separately) and allows you to pretension lines, create lift or remove slack from systems with lots of rope in between. Fiddle blocks can provide a compact, in-line system for 5:1 mechanical advantage resulting in 1,000 lbs. of lifting or pulling power from only 200 lbs. of input.
- Includes 75' of 16-Strand 1/2 inch rope with sewn eye
- Carabiners and prusik are used to attach the blocks to line and anchor
- Fiddle blocks are used to pre-tension lines or lift heavy objects.
- Fiddle blocks are easy to deploy and can be stored fully rigged
- Simply attach the ends to host line with the rigging prusik and anchor (a tree, vehicle etc).

- Hard anodized aluminum sheaves with non-corroding Delrin ball bearings
- The triple sheave system separates the rope to reduce chaffing (rope rubbing)
- ABS: 10,000 lbs.
- WLL: 1,000 lbs
Fiddle Block Tree Pulling Kit includes:
(1) 75' section of 16-strand arborist rope with sewn eye
(1) Fiddle Block Set
(2) ISC steel D Supersafe Carabiners
(1) 38 inch Tenex Eye to Eye Rigging Prusik
Installation of Rope:
To set up locate the upper block (it is the one with the cam and lower pin anchor) and lay it on the ground with the cam facing to the right. Take the lower block and lay it below. Please note the small metal shackles should be opposite (on the outsides). Remove the pin of the upper block. Take the spliced end of the rope and slide the pin inside the spliced eye and install on the upper block. Take the tail of the rope and feed it into the right side of the lower blocks inside most pulley. Then the tail of the rope goes back to the upper blocks lower pulley from left to right. Then feed the tail back down to the lower blocks outer most double pulley feeding from right to left. The tail of the rope then goes back up to the upper block working left to right on the double pulley and down through the cams on the right.
