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

Solid cast parts; good size, expensive

I had read reviews after I ordered these pulleys. I did wash all the machine dust off before installing them and they worked just fine. No residue has thus far been left on the clothes or line. The pulley operates very smoothly even with a heavy load of king size comforters. 4 stars is for needing the wash off.

These pulleys are so smooth, I wish I had ordered these for the other side of my line as well, I still might lol .

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.

Wonderful and practical. Nice tobe able to buy separately since I already had the wire and the rest of the kit.

Ball bearings make a world of positive difference...…..

These pulleys are terrific! That clothes line moves as smooth as silk feels! You will need two people to attach them and run the line properly. Make sure the little tightening gadget to pull the line through is placed on the bottom part of the clothesline. Line will need to be adjusted a few times before the correct tauntness is established. Another creative invention that is truly beneficial for those of us who enjoy hanging our laundry out to dry!

Easy to install, and easy to use.

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.
