What is the name of a pulley whereby you can lock your load by pulling your rope off to the side. Want to hang my die grinder from the ceiling. Can not find it on McMaster Carr.
Thanks

Sounds like the now discontinued Hoist'N Lok big game hoist.
They had a cam that locked the rope by pulling it to the side.
Since they are no longer made I think you'll have to scour the web for a used one. I know some bow hunters that have them but you'd have to pry it out of their cold dead hands.
I recall seeing a "hay hoist" made cheaply in Taiwan, stamped sheet metal, painted bright red.
Same feature. although it had 2 pulleys for multiplication, you could just remove the lower one,
as the locking feature was on the top one.
Tractor supply et all sold them.
all good advice, but, what is it called so i can do a search.
Sorry about the caps.

As I said in post #2, tool balancer.

The suggestions above are way overkill. Trying to raise/lower and secure 2-3 lbs. maximum.
I will spend $2 and buy a replacement Venetian blind cord mechanism....
