What this video covers
Sven Yrvind removes stubborn metal grommets from webbing to improve the configuration of his boat’s rigging. He secures the hardware in a heavy-duty bench vise, using a long lever to apply torque to the Archimedes-branded components.▶ 0:58 After loosening the fittings, he employs a large hammer, a chisel, and Knipex pliers to extract the remaining pieces.▶ 1:06 This process eliminates unnecessary rings that previously caused the webbing to sit at an inefficient angle.▶ 2:22 By removing these grommets, Yrvind adjusts the webbing geometry to achieve a flatter, more direct lead.▶ 2:22 He collects the discarded rings in a bucket and prepares to test the modified setup for improved performance.▶ 2:04 The work follows a previous design by Rutger Søren in Marstrand, which Yrvind refined to increase the speed and efficiency of the removal process.▶ 0:40
