Atten-shun! Make your blocks stand up

Snatchblocks banging on the deck makes your nerves jangle and make sleep difficult when off watch. But if you cut a piece of pipe lengthways then tape it round the shackle below the block, it'll make the block stand up, much more effectively than a spring or tape.
Alternatively, you can make a flat Turk's head and lay it around the block to stop the banging.
