How to Effectively Take Tungsten Rings Off In Times Of Emergency


By John Stewart

One of the misconceptions about tungsten rings is that they are not safe when it comes to emergency situations.

The reason why some people believe that tungsten rings are at a disadvantage during emergency situations is because they are made of a material that is very tough; so tough that it is harder than steel.

But this is not true. You can easily remove tungsten rings in emergency situations even though they are made of a very tough material.

Tungsten carbide, a product of ordinary tungsten and a carbon alloy, is another tough material used in these rings. They are way stronger than tungsten rings that they are considered as one of the toughest metals on Earth. This is the reason why people think it is really hard to remove such rings during emergencies.

When trying to remove the tungsten ring from your finger during times of emergency, you need to make sure that you are calm and have the right tool. Exercise precautionary measures as well.

All you will need is a pair of vice grip style locking pliers, and not any elaborate, complicated tool. But of course, you should first try to take the rings off the finger using the standard methods, like lubricating it with soap or oil. Only when these procedures don't work should you consider using the vice grip method. Make sure that only someone who knows how to use a vice grip pliers should perform the procedure. If possible, go to the nearest hospital and have the nurses and doctors take care of the situation.

To do this, you must place the vice grip pliers over the tungsten ring. Then adjust the clamp until it fits in place. This is the time to release and then adjust the tightener one-third of a turn and then clamp it again. Repeat this procedure until you hear a crack.

You should continue doing this using several positions until the metal breaks away. You can then take the tungsten ring off. But make sure that you don't pull it off because there may be some broken pieces (found mostly in inlaid rings) that can cut your skin.
