GearAmerica USS Edition (United States Sourced) G.O.L.D. Snatch Recovery Ring – 48,000 lbs MBS, 24,000 lbs WLL – Gold Pulley for Use with Synthetic Shackles & Winchline – Proudly Made in The USA

This is my favorite over all other recovery ring. Good value for the money. Very low friction. The USS edition cost a little more and was a small wait compared to the imported version but they seem the same. If you want to save a couple bucks and receive one quick, buy the imported version. Using the USS version is a patriotic thing.

Gear America makes two virtually identical versions of this ring, one made in the USA (USS Edition), and a second one made overseas (China). I chose the USS version for two reasons... 1) it's made in the USA, and 2) the product description states that Gear America has an "Industry leading Hassle-Free Lifetime Replacement Warranty" on all of their products.After having a couple of small issues with my first order of this product Gear America was quick to reach out and address, apologize for, and resolve the problem. The issue was cosmetic and had no impact on performance of the product.As for the product itself, It's a good size block of aluminum with good weight. Not too heavy, not too light. My scale says 1 pound 5 ounces. Regardless, it's a lot lighter than the snatch blocks I'm used to! It appears as though it would do its job as designed without any difficulty. The dimensions are appropriate for the type of work it's designed to do. The anodizing is uniform and nice, but only time will tell when it comes to the durability of the finish. The product has no sharp edges that could damage soft shackles or synthetic winch lines. If you're researching this type of ring take note, it is designed for synthetic winch lines and soft shackles only.Overall I am very satisfied with this snatch ring. It's a high quality product and I look forward to using it in the field and on the trail.

aun no lo e probado pero tiene muy buena pinta , ya tenia otro de otra marca conocida y este tiene mejor pinta

Smooth anodized surface unlike the overland adventure brand I sent back. The center is larger than the outside edge which keeps the soft shackle from rubbing on the edges. Materials sourced and made in the USA are also a big plus.
