... when you have to repair an Easylock rope clamp because the lever has broken off. Because the ring quickly goes overboard when dismantled - guaranteed irretrievable in the water. Of course, you also need a new lever in the spare parts box. Recommended if you cannot fix the halyard or sheet otherwise sensibly (and possibly quickly detachable). After all, one-handed or with a small crew it is difficult to hold onto an end with one hand. Unfortunately, these small parts are just a bit too expensive.
