Product Information
Core Blocks™ are a true all round solution. A tuned 2-stage bearing system provides excellent performance across the full working load range with an integrated thrust bearing feature and the resilience to handle high dynamic or static loads. Acetal sheave, alloy cheeks and stainless fixings complete the durable package. For reliability and a long service life, these blocks are the right choice for sheets, halyards and control line applications for cruising and racing.
Universal Bearing -
Dynamic and high static load performance
The Ronstan Universal Bearing incorporates our proven 2-stage bearing system
Stage 1 - Under moderate loads, Acetal ball bearings ensure minimum friction.
Stage 2 - Under heavy loads, where deformation of ball bearings alone would result in increased friction, a sliding Acetal bearing on a polished stainless steel race takes over, maintaining low friction performance.
Additionally the ball bearings are configured to act as a thrust bearing between the sheave and cheeks, preventing the sheave from rubbing on the cheeks and causing friction when the line lead in and out of the block isn’t perfect. Particularly important for cheek blocks.
Alloy cheek plates
Block cheeks are manufactured from the highest quality alloy for maximum strength. Material optimization and the cut-away design minimizes weight and allows easy fresh water rinsing of salt and debris from the bearings. Cheek design has been further styled with flaring at the block throat and reduced gap between the cheek and sheave, minimizing rope wear.
Applications
Ideal for mainsheet, halyard and spinnaker sheet applications on boats to 12m (40ft).
Various control line applications on larger yachts.
Alloy sheave models are available for use with wire.
Ideal for creating simple vang and mainsheet systems up to 4:1 on boats to 12m (40ft)

Bad product, cannot recommend
Color: Black
This product didn't work well at all. The material gets smudged and dirty extremely easily and it's impossible to get it clean. It's also very heavy, but not in a good way.
The pump shoots out dish soap very far and makes a mess on the counter. Even when I hold the sponge or brush right by the pump, the dish soap still went all over the place.
The pockets for brush and sponge did not work well either. Even the taller back pocket was way too short to hold a normal size dish brush.
I ended up throwing the item in the trash.

Went from five stars to three.

I was thrilled with this dispenser & sponge holder for the first month or two then soap started oozing out of the top. (See photo) I didn’t change types of soap but am trying different things now to see if it helps. It’s a great fit in my kitchen, holds the items I need, is sturdy, looks classy and clean but I’m not sure if I’ll get used to the blue ring of soap oozing out. I’ve been using this for 2.5 months at time of review.

Aesthetically pleasing
Color: Black
Very aesthetically pleasing, easy to clean, will last a lifetime because of the material quality and it feels like stone more than plastic.

Attractive and works great. Be sure to clean the suction cups and sink before using!
Style: Scroll
I have wanted a sponge holder to put inside my sink for a while now. I wanted something attactive and I wanted it to work as it should. Seemed reasonable until I started looking and reading reviews. The biggest complaint appeared to be that these sponge holders do not stay attached to the sink. The reviews for this particular holder were great. Customers stressed cleaning the suction cups and sink before using. I am really glad they did because holder arrived in the packaging with zero instructions. Because I read the reviews I knew what to do and it worked! I am very pleased with this sponge holder. It is attractive, it feels really sturdy and it stays on the side of stainless steel sink just fine.
