This is probably the safest way to do it. Tungsten carbide is as brittle as glass but much harder, so it almost doesn't bend at all and will break cleanly everytime and break long before the vise gets close to crushing your finger. Also allows the operator of the vice to apply careful pressure. Not bad considering I've seen people use pliers and hammers before.

Watched a story where they went to 3 different places/hospitals…. Ended up getting the handyman at the last place & he used work tools to remove the ring. Lol

Hospital: "That'll be $4000 dollars sir."
Patient: "Crap. Should have had the workshop that provided the ring remove it."

If you get a ring stuck on your finger, go to the jewellery store. Way cheaper & quicker than going to an emergency room

[southernzen]

You sure that wasn't in a machine shop somewhere? 🤔

Tungsten brittle so you can use advice to clamp it and it'll shatter on numerous sides rather than a gold ring which is much more malleable what you need to usually cut off

[quinncykaluzniak]

Tungsten carbide rings are workshop legal in most cases because instead of pinching your finger they'd just break apart

Friend of mine is a jeweller and lives in a very small country town in Australia. He's been called in twice in the last 5 years to remove rings.
Both he managed to repair and return to the owner.

People ring get *stuck* on his finger


Workshop : *it's free real estate*

[VRMonster]

the use of the vise is really clever... when it snaps the vise stays where it was

I have an eternity band with 2 carats of princess-cut diamonds surrounding the entire band and put it on the wrong finger. Needless to say, you can't cut through diamonds so they used a miniature saw to saw the sides (and my finger a few times) until they could get it off. Luckily they didn't lose a single diamond and my hubby fixed the ring for me. Learned a valuable lesson that day.

Problem with tungsten carbide is that it's incredibly strong. It's not something you can easily score, and diamond burrs are slow and require coolant to cut it.

[matthewdavis]

This is actually a Safeish way to remove a tungsten carbide ring. It’s why I prefer them. They break instead of bend and warp.

[jeremycanterohioprospecting]

They don't break against people's faces it takes an immense amount of pressure like you see in this video I'm kind of amazed that they didn't smash his finger in the process crushing his bone exactly right where the ring is

[CatKingKeefie]

Tungsten is literally MEANT to break. It's known as a safety ring.

[everestfalls]

In the hospital you get that removed and they'll charge you $3900 for it.

[mc]

Tungsten Carbide is a really brittle metal but it also really hard to cut, you basically need a diamond tipped tool to cut it, so yeah crushing it it would be the best way to remove it.

[spaghettileggs]

Carbide will break with a drop or a hammer blow.. yes carbide is strong but only for friction/durability factors.

[MaryManion]

Recently had one stuck. Used dawn and ice for mine, was very lucky it worked. This is scary

[coldish]

Went into the ER cause I had a ring stuck and there weren’t enough people who wanted to grind away at it so I had to do it myself and then the fire department finally came after 12 hours and snapped it off immediately I lost feeling in that finger for like a year
