The backordered for 30 minutes TRE snatch-block was delivered today. 2.33 pounds. 2.68 pounds with the pouch (which I don't carry on the rig - so there's .35 pounds saved.).

The outside of the wheel is not black, it's gray - although the pic makes it look a bit on the blue side. The hub is black. Is that good news, or bad?

Here it is next to my old 6 pound Warn unit - made for cable. Off to the tow-pig it goes - in its new pouch. Now it weighs 6.35 pounds.

Mine will arrive tomorrow. Be a while for me before I can test it out.
A little jealous of yall and your "dainty" 6lb snatches 
Have a ton of miles on this one, but looking to lighten the load. Have had my eye on a TRE for probably two years and it will be here tomorrow

Snatch Horder!
Surprised you went with TRE given your previous choices with other recovery gear.
My sense of time related stuff is a bit fuzzy after the pandemic, but what I am referring to is perhaps likely before you joined here so you may not have the context. For some items, brand DOES matter because not everything is created equal even if things look alike.
Also I said was surprised, not disappointed
That snatch block is a fantastic design, I have one myself and got it when Ricky was still part of TRE.
Don't know what you are trying to imply... What other choices have I made that would suggest I would have an issue with this snatch block?
Absolutely, and not enough people understand that. My point was about the brand allegiance note.
But perhaps there is this context that I am missing.
You won't have any issues with that snatch block.
Dear @toximus, is this where I say "Take it to PM"?
You have great taste in scales, my friend!

You probably know all this by heart, but you still might like this video. I saw your photo with two of 'em and this immediately came to mind.
I've got one now that I just received this addition in the mail:
Thanks for the inspiration!
15% discount code didn't hurt either.
