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.

SEE THE HEAD LINE

Over the years we always purchased cheaper (non-ball bearing type) cloths line pulleys and without fail they would eventually wear down at the axle point and begin to seize up. Also, not to mention the very loud screeching that would emanate from the pulleys every time you put out and or pulled in clothes. This time we decided to spend a little extra and go with these pulleys. These things glide so smoothly, making it a pleasure to dry your cloths on the line. One suggestion though, since they do move extremely well, sometimes the cloths will wind up coasting down on their own as more weight is added to the line, so we just use a cloths pin and put it right at the pulley to hold things in place.

excellent!

works very smoothly

Decent quality. I took the pulley off and used two to hang a barn door on a track in my house.

Replace a plastic model that over time the sun and winters make brittle. Hoping this one holds up better. 6 inch model was actually bigger than the replaced version but it is the right size for the need. Seems to turn smoothly. No instructions, not that you would need any but its designed that it does not matter which side is up or down. Photo on package could be better to answer that question. Plan to replace other end of the line with this one.

Really nice how smoothly this spins. Had one set and loved it so much we purchased another set.

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.

I am using a pair of these for my clothes line. I struggled with my old setup for months because the line always popped off the track as I was hanging laundry. I tried changing the angle, changing the line, nothing helped until now. Hung a whole load of laundry and it operated very smoothly. The high quality of these and ball bearings solved my problem.
