How to Lift Items Easily - the Old School Way - Kevin Caron

the West thing's not enough for me go No gymnastics in the studio I Sawyer then I'll pound down down down down any day now thank you like a monkey in a football oh hey I was gonna pick this meme up and put that there that tube up and put it up there but of course there's always things in the way you guys start really scaring me at how well you keep you pay attention and what goes on here yeah it's hot I did a video on this magnetic lifting attachment and of course somebody emailed in almost immediately and you know same day and said what's this what's this thing with all the roads what do you call those well that's a block and a block and this is considered tackle I guess that's why I'm always good I've always considered it it's just called a block and tackle no it's very very old school it's been around not this one in particular but the technology has been around for a long time a long long time and there's lots of different kinds of the different styles different shapes so this one has three shifts or pulleys I'm pretty sure they're called Chibs that the ropes run through and because there's three of them instead of just one that gives you that much more mechanical advantage she can pick up a heavier load with less pull on your part of it the police you know the block and tackle does all the work for you so each of these five inch by five inch by quarter inch square tubes they're about 140 pounds apiece hello can I pick one up and put it on the bench sure do I want to know that's what I got this for so just you can just it's just a whole lot easier to do it this way than it is to behave then it is to pick them up by hand all the time but it does sound like somebody needs a little bit of grease up there where's my hat's help and having this year just allows me to do a whole lot more work by myself safer quicker ish but safer that's the big thing don't want to blow my back out don't want to have to you know try to get something big and heavy off the bench by myself pick it up bring it over you know then try to put it down no no no that's what I have this for and a couple other things to keep in mind so you're gonna put one of these in in your shop somewhere or put it in your garage make sure you're into a good beam wherever you attach the top of it so that beam is a double two by six on edge sandwich together and then it's got a strap that goes all the way around it and then hooked into the bottom so good and solid up top so you don't have to worry about that you know that thing pulling out of the beam or something really important if you're going to pick up anything heavy with it you know like an engine block you know you need something good up there to anchor to the other thing especially picking up something big long you know you saw this kind of tip sideways just a little bit trying to get it centered you know you're gonna pick up something big and heavy kind of get centered on it so it picks up flat and square rather than off to one side and now you're trying to catch it and it just W think it's crazy and of course watch your ratings on your block and tackle you know they come rated to poundage you know under pounds 200 you know this one's rated to to tongue so probably out this will pick up a lot more then those two two-by-sixes up they're gonna hold no so don't get too carried away but make sure it's the right size make sure it's anchored right oh yeah knew there was something else more ships you have the more rope you need the more you're gonna have to pull to make it go so if this was just a single pulley I could pull this and it'd go up pretty quickly you know because it's a triple pulley like this the more I you know it takes a lot more work over here you get anything to happen over here so make sure you have enough rope now I've got plenty of rope I can reach all the way to the floor with it and still have a little bit left over enough I don't know I don't know how much is actually over there I think it's 50 feet but I'm not probably you know wrong at that so that's about it you know it's a great little tool does it use gas goes it use electricity does that make noise you know it's great workout on the arms you know great work up to the chest when you're picking up something with it and it just hangs up there and waits to be needed again oh I found this over on an eBay you can get them on Amazon you know you can find them in some of your brick-and-mortar stores as well and I like it you know I appreciate it I do I use it a lot up there so great question I'm gonna get back to work on this and you guys are gonna come find me on Instagram and I'll see you next week and how does it work well it's really easy you know mechanical advantage you know you you have a lever you have a pulley you know something to help take a take a backlash take a science class that'll explain it
