I use snatch blocks primarily for recoveries at difficult angles, if the stuck vehicle is not in direct line with you but around a corner. (Giving training for them, not actually doing them. Who gets stuck enough to use a winch in real life? :wink: )
As for multiplying the force, it's fact. In technical rescues, aka hauling person/people up with ropes, it all comes down to guestimating the load and adding appropriate number of pulleys to the system

Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of minds to think
