Strata Ball Bearing Style Clothesline Pulley - 6.5 Heavy Duty Metal, Rustproof Silver for Outdoor Laundry Drying, Line Pulley for Clothes, Coats, Blankets, and More

Very sturdy pulley -- appears to be made of cast aluminum so it is light weight. Large enough to allow the knot from the clothesline to pull through the pulley. Very quiet and the ball bearing action is smooth.

It is advertised as 6.5 inch but the outside dia. is 6.00 and at the bottom of the grove where the cable runs; its only 5.5 (It works okay but I wanted a 6.5 inch pully) (I should have paid the extra $2.00 and got an 8 Pulley)

I put up a clothesline with these pulleys, replacing some old, sticky, squeaky one. The bearings on these work smooth as butter, with a fraction the effort to shift a loaded line. Perfect!

Don’t even bother with plastic buy these!

The ball bearing rollers are impressive. I used a total of 3 for a clothesline-like design to support 2 heavy bird feeders suspended over our back yard (squirrels, you know...). They work well now, and I expect will weather well, but not enough time yet to confirm. I bought 4 more for a second setup to a different tree.

The unit appears to be well built, installation was straight forward. However, it would be a lot better pulley assembly if there were some way to lubricate the bearing surfaces. A grease fitting would be a great improvement. Ive got a long run of clothesline, with the anchor pulley about 125 feet away, and this pulley complains LOUDLY when in use. In the winter Ive got a couple of small bird feeders on the clothesline, and need to refill them on a daily basis. The pulley squeals as Im bringing the feeders back to refill them or running them back out to about mid-point. Ive found that I need to pull on both sides of the pulley, one hand pulling cable towards the house, the other pulling the cable on the other side of the pulley away from the house. Ive tried applying some penetrating oil to the axle, which doesnt help at all. I debated leaving a rating of 2 or 3, would not buy this item again.

Installed for over a month, very satisfied. Smooth and strong. It did have some aluminum oxide, which i read in the other reviews. I washed It off before I installed it so there were no marks on the cord or clothing.

A good clothesline pulley. Easy to install and with a low friction bearing.

Had this in the past, moved to new location bought again.

These pulleys were exactly what I needed for my outside clothesline. They were easy to install and seem to be very durable!
