Yep, Harken is better than the rest. I stress my boat in the most extreme conditions and I've never had a Harken failure that I can remember. I've thrown away a few Ronstat blocks and will never buy another. You can take the working load on Ronstat and divide it by 10 and it might last a year or so. I've had good luck with Lewmar but hardly get a chance to use the stuff.

<br>I just remembered I've had a harken cleat burn through one time. Now I always buy the aluminum cleats and I've never had a problem with those.
<br>
<br>Harken expensive and worth every penny.
