Strata Ball Bearing Style Clothesline Pulley - 6.5 Heavy Duty Metal, Rustproof Silver for Outdoor Laundry Drying, Line Pulley for Clothes, Coats, Blankets, and More

Ball bearings make a world of positive difference...…..

Had this in the past, moved to new location bought again.

The ball bearing rollers are impressive. I used a total of 3 for a clothesline-like design to support 2 heavy bird feeders suspended over our back yard (squirrels, you know...). They work well now, and I expect will weather well, but not enough time yet to confirm. I bought 4 more for a second setup to a different tree.

SEE THE HEAD LINE

It is advertised as 6.5 inch but the outside dia. is 6.00 and at the bottom of the grove where the cable runs; its only 5.5 (It works okay but I wanted a 6.5 inch pully) (I should have paid the extra $2.00 and got an 8 Pulley)

Pulleys are a bit lighter than expected but will do for my job.

LOVE IT!!!!!!! Does what it’s supposed to and made my life easy!! I now have the best “Earth friendly, green, wind/solar powered clothes dryer on the planet! Amazing how my Grandma knew what she was doing, lol!!!

We are in norcal and with all the power outages I figured I should have a clothesline up. Our generator will handle most of the house but not the dryer. I assumed this was priced for 1 pulley @ $22. One of the answered questions said this also. So I ordered 2. I mean what are you gonna do with 1? I get the box today and open it up and there are 4 pulleys in it. They are really great. Lightweight but beefy and ball bearings that spin easily. I havent put them up yet but decided to keep all 4. can always use an extra pulley. I will update if anything changes once I get my line up.

The old metal pulley was grinding on its side brackets which was really annoying and didnt move too easy, so it was time for a replacement. The Strata Ball Bearing Style Clothesline Pulley was an easy swap and provided a much smoother and quieter operation while running out the clothes on the line. It appears well built and I dont doubt it will last well. When I used the old pulley I would clip a wooden clothes line pin onto the rope near the pulley which would prevent the clothes on a windy day from traveling back to the pulley which sometimes would put them in the shade. I tried this with the new pulley, but the open frame design caused the clothes pin to ride over the pulley and throw the rope off the pulley. BUT alas.... the new pulley appeared to have a feature(?) that would seem to allow locking the pulley in place. Not sure if this was the intention of the design or not, but nothing I found seemed to document this feature. The pulley has a set of holes, one in the pulley and two in the pulley frame. When aligned, a pin can be inserted to lock the pulley in place and preventing the line from blowing the clothes back to the pulley. The extra bracket arm that has the small hole was an ideal spot to tie off and hang the lock pin. Again dont know if this was the intent of the hole and the extra bracket arm part, but worked well.

Been using two of these for about 1.5 months.No problems. They work very well.
