Do you need a Red Winches RR30 “Bearing Ring”?

We’ve had snatch blocks, then came snatch rings, and now there is the Bearing Ring.

The idea is simple; take the snatch ring and add a bearing to make a snatch ring with two parts, a static outer shell and a sheave that rotates on a bearing. Here it is in comparison to a Red Winches snatch ring and ARB 9000kg snatch block:
