The Barton T00131 TUPHblox Single Swivel Block with Becket is part of the compact and durable TUPHblox range, designed for marine, industrial, and specialist applications. Manufactured from Tufnol phenolic resin laminate with cotton reinforcement, it delivers excellent strength, durability, and resistance to harsh environments.
