The Stuck Tungsten Ring Emergency

I learned a lot about removing tungsten rings while making this video using video from Dr. Kevin Spencer, an emergency medicine physician and creator of the Ring Rescue products. While a fan of these products I have no financial interest in any of the products mentioned in this video. Nevertheless, the Dolphin ring cutter is, in my humble opinion, the best ring cutter produced.

That ring cutter looks amazing, although a dental highspeed handpiece is more convenient, regarding air pollution, the dentist also have high volume suction

Good info, as someone who wears a tungsten carbide wedding band.

Welp I'm screwed. My dad's work bench was in the kitchen where he was electroplating with and, grinding tungsten and titanium. I know the vet told him to stop because he poisoned our cat accidentally.

I shattered my tungsten carbide wedding ring in a karate demonstration when I slapped a hard ceramic tile floor. Slapping the floor is part of the technique to land safely when falling on a hard floor. Maybe this could be used in a situation when a ring cutter or pliers are not available?

1) Let a dog eat the ring
2) Remove the ring from the dog

If you shatter it use tape first .the tape will prevent it from flying

Yeah, great. But since it is now an "official " medical device... it will cost 20 times what it should. *sigh*.
