<< When speaking of snatch blocks to aid pulling power keep in mind that if =
the
pulley is stationary, there is no T.M.A. (Theoretical Mechanical =
Advantage)
merely a change of direction.

True IF pulley is attached to say a tree, and end of wire rope is attached to
say a second tree, BUT if both ends of wire rope return to vehicle winch is
attached to, then you will have mechanical advantage.
