Italian term or phrase: paranchino a punta
Dear folks,
Would anyone know what this might be? I can't find it in google...
It's in a list of materials for assembling an aerial platform, among other tools such as screwdrivers and Allen keys.
Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Explanation:
I'm pretty certain what "paranchino" (from paranco) is - a small block and tackle it's the " a punta" that is tricky as it can mean pointed, peaked, tapered or retractable. Maybe further on in the text this detail might become clear.
At any rate, I hope this helps.
