The sheaves run on bronze bearings and have a Delrin core to save weight. The visible surfaces of the sheaves are also bronze. the housing is copper-riveted and varnished with Epifanes high-gloss varnish. The blocks come standard with a bulbous becket.
The smaller sizes are also available with swivel eye or shackle.
