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.
Its actually not brittle like glass close but it has more give than glass
All tungsten is brittle
No idea what happens once you add tungsten to the mix, But I work at a sign shop that mills glass on a CNC router on the regular and have snapped plenty of 1/4" carbide endmills and even a few 1/2" endmills in it. It does break the too glass on occasion (and every now and again we get glass with a stress spot) but the vast majority of the time the material is ok the carbide just fails.@@ballbag6031
@@Coastal_Cruzer not at all pure tungsten is what is used to drill into rocks
@@IJustBeMackin brittle doesn't mean weak. Tungsten is brittle, it snaps, it does not bend.
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
If there is no doctor get whoever has tools
I did this when I was 14 to get my grandfather's ring off his finger.
spent 7 years on college and doesn't understand that hard things shatter and are actually pretty easy to break.
On untold stories of the er?
@@678friedbedtheres also a finger inside of it
Hospital: "That'll be $4000 dollars sir."
Patient: "Crap. Should have had the workshop that provided the ring remove it."
If that costed more than $50 I'd never pay it. That's crap
@@christ1ancad3That’s healthcare in the US. And there isn’t any “I won’t pay for that”. They will MAKE you pay for it.
@@pineappler6473at least its not canadian heathcare
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
What's your best "advice" for this?
Do you have any further vice for situations like this?
*cemented tungsten carbide. Actual elemental tungsten rings do exist and the two should not be confused considering elemental tungsten is the strongest metal on earth.
You sure that wasn't in a machine shop somewhere? 🤔
They brought medical gauze. Most guys working in a shop don't even seem to know how to wash their hands
@@puppieslovies they got the high tech cloth thing from the OSHA fun box.
@@puppieslovies any decent shop should have a first aid kit somewhere with gauze in it. Some of the shit guys do in there best believe they do 😂
Hospital maintenance department should have a vice, that floor doesn't look like a workshop either.
It's in the janitors closet of the hospital Lmao
If you get a ring stuck on your finger, go to the jewellery store. Way cheaper & quicker than going to an emergency room
Not always an option, most Jewlery stores close around 5 to 6pm, and open 8 to 10am. So if it happens at say 7pm, youll bow have to wait 13hours or more to then get it cut, if theyre open definitely the best bet. But if jot 13hours is long enough to loose a finger so the er is your best bet then.
how does getting another ring stuck on my finger help me with that???? /s
Tungsten carbide rings are workshop legal in most cases because instead of pinching your finger they'd just break apart
Tungsten has magic anti degloving properties?
@@chrislambe400 I mean if you're wearing gloves over or under the ring they'd come off too, but tungsten carbide does break at certain angles which the rings exploit for the safety of the wearer, but since it's not officially approved, but silently approved it then varies shop to shop/jobsite to jobsite depending on the company you work for, best to ask a friendly superior about it or check the OSHA guidelines for your workplace regarding jewellery and PPE
@@chrislambe400 a crushed finger is better than a crushed finger with a crushed ring stuck on it
@@quinncykaluzniak5429 lol degloving is when the ring catches something and rips the skin and flesh from your finger, like pulling a glove off. how does that make it "shop legal". any shop I've ever worked in or been in said no rings, or wear em if you're brave
@@justinhudson3851 never heard the term used for that
"I feel like I'm in a third world country"... You are buddy.
Ahhh yes. The privileged person who has never seen a true third world country. Where your ignorance on your sleeve my friend.
Dr Harb is a cutie pie
People ring get *stuck* on his finger
Workshop : *it's free real estate*
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.
the use of the vise is really clever... when it snaps the vise stays where it was
Carbide will break with a drop or a hammer blow.. yes carbide is strong but only for friction/durability factors.
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
That’s because carbide is very strong or hard metal it’s not really flexible so instead if bending it snaps it’s also really good for saw or knife blades
“Feels like im in a third world country”
Lol
In the hospital you get that removed and they'll charge you $3900 for it.
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.
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.
This is why my wife and I wear silicone rings from Groove Life more than our metal bands.
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.
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.
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
Please try putting windex, ( has to be windex brand) first. It's an old school one but it WORKS!!!
Him: Shit, I could have done that myself
That’s why you wear gold it cuts really easy with wire cutters
This material is very brittle, but hard.
Bro youtube....there are insane methods where its free....the string method works perfectly
They used the vice because it’s carbide, very hard material but also brittle. To hard to cut it. You would need carbide to cut it.
I have the same tungsten ring I thing exact and I was using a ratchet and it broke it’s pretty cheap tbh imo
That's why I had one of these when I worked construction.. if it was to catch instead of bending on my finger it would break away. Still best to have stretchy so it just gets ripped off
I always heard this is why jewelers stay away from making 24 k gold rings. The metal is softer which can deform and cut off your circulation.
Tungsten is literally MEANT to break. It's known as a safety ring.
Don’t need to go to the hospital. The jeweller will have a tool for cutting the ring off without cutting your finger. Saves a trip, because he can then re-size it for you.
I had to have my ring removed when I broke my wrist. Was already in the hospital, the ring had to come off because it would cut off the circulation to my finger as my hand swelled.
Not with a tungsten carbide ring you can't resize it and no need to cut it
tungsten is super hard and brittle and won't deform and just break like show here
Tungsten is used as cutting tool material for cnc
Diamond tip won’t do much for tugsten carbide, with that cutting blade you’d be there for hours
We had to bring an engineering guy up with his cart to get a ring off the other day lol
If you can’t get a ring off, spray the finger with windex
I'm getting a silicon one some day, def want to avoid this
The best way is vise grips, clamp turn a an 1/8 clamp repeat until ring break. I had one on and shorted across a battery with wrench and it broke into 3 pieces and left a decent burn but didn’t have to pull it off
It’s all about hardness. Gold is soft and will bend and deform, while tungsten shatters like ceramic almost. Wife shattered my ring once. 😅
Damn, I just checked to make sure I can still take mine off.👍
My step dad got a tungsten ring because they don't bend, and his gold one bent and nearly cut his finger off. The issue is that if you do need to break it, it's really hard and expensive to fix because tungsten has such a high melting point and is so hard.
I have a the same ring. It’s just slightly less harder than a diamond but it is brittle
Well tungsteen is hard but brittle so breaking it is cheaper then using a diamond tool
It’s crazy that people would go to hospitals instead of a jeweler to remove the ring.
Bro imagine if it just bent instead of snapping 😖
Tungsten is hard and brittle. If it was any other metal it would have bent
@@daltonlopez4623 good, had me worried cause it looks like putting your hand in a crusher
That's why titanium rings are sometimes an er nightmare, not because of amputations that's just a stupid mith. They are incredibly tough but it also bends while tungsten carbide is incredibly hard making it good for machining and getting broken by unexpected machinist that push a little too hard, although that's becoming less of a problem since a lot of places just have a button you push now
This is the exact reason I'd want one
Floss works the best
If your ring is made of a hardened metal, this would only work
Recently had one stuck. Used dawn and ice for mine, was very lucky it worked. This is scary
I've never understand getting indestructible rings all you gotta do is jam a finger and they can get stuck
With tungsten that's a pretty smart was due to its brittleness. Do not do this if you have a gold ring. You'll crimp your finger lmao
How could someone even put that on that's crazy
Tungsten is very scratch resistant, but brittle. A small hammer will break it as well.
Good thing carbide is rather brittle
I really am curious how did a ring easily slip into the finger but literally impossible to take it off literally 5 minutes after
He’s had it on for a long time. This happens to people who don’t take there rings off. Do some research, it’s actually pretty crazy, I couldn’t imagine how long it would take tho
Also swelling of the hands and feet can be caused by a lot of things, for example a broken hand/arm. Long term swelling can be from weight gain or heart failure.
If you don't put one on you won't ever have this problem 😊
Vise grips work a lot better.
This is why i dont have rings. I witnessed a guy get the skin basicly pealed back and un shethed his finger leaving just the bones.
There's a machine designed to do this somewhere, alone and crying.
That’s why I will invent tungsten carbide rings with plastic straps. I can already see the money showing up in my bank account 💰 💰 💰
As it's tungsten carbide it's brittle this wouldn't word with a normal steel,gold,titanium or silwer ring
Hi Doc, can I sent you a picture and can you please identify it and what can we do to treat it, I hope you this reach you. Thank you
So that I can send you this??
lol
I'm sorry, but I figure you'd have to book an appointment with your local doctor :(
Diamond tip dont work on tungsten its to hard vut its brittle and the only way to get it off is cracking it
Just use a ring cutter, no need to risk crushing the man’s finger. We’ve cut off rings tighter than that one with little to no issue.
It's Tungsten carbide not a malleable metal. A "ring cutter" won't do much for it.
Just set a set of vise grips up and it pops them quickly
It’s tungsten it’s hard to break
Strip of fabric will do just fine , no need to destroy jewellery
That is exactly why I don't wear a ring I am an electrician
I've used lots of ring cutters as a nurse, just never used one on a finger. If you know, you know.
This was definitely done in a shop lol
If you cut a tungsten ring with a diamond tip bit rather than cracking it you’re wasting time and money. Tungsten rings will break from a 2 foot fall. Wack it with a hammer carefully or use a vise like this.
toungeston sounds right
Ah yes the hospital vice grip probably still mounted to the tool shelf
Your tool will probably break before you cut through the tungsten
Oh My it is CRAZY 😂
*Charges money for getting money*
Thats fuckong tungston 💀
Used visegrip pliers to break mine off.
I had to cut one off with bolt cutters because their saw wouldn't even scratch it
Why do none of these video show how long it takes? Two finger to go back to normal size?
As an ex jeweler, NEVER EVER EVER BUY COBALT RINGS! They're impossible to cut/break. If you break your ring finger you'll.lose that finger.
Just call the maintenance guy he’ll or she’ll get it off!😂
$127,000 ring removal...
depending on materials to method used.
They used a drill thingy on mine
You can't do that with gold
Real question so most hospitals just have a bigass vice on hand ?
Go to your local Firehouse in nyc.. simple work for them
I’ll give you a diamond tip
"Tungstine Carbide Ring"
What, are you sending your finger to fucking space???
Who tf makes ring out of tungsten
Ring removed, alright that will be $5000. How would you like to pay debit or credit?
Why are you filming yourself?
Obviously no one knows the string technique
That dock know his materials. Tungsten breaks easy under pressure
Some rings they’ll put a soft spot that can easily be cut
Really?? My dad was a jeweller all of his life and never shared that one..... i think you are full of the stuff you flush down the toilet and have no idea what you are talking about as rings are designed to be worn and not cut off.
How is it unique? Anyone who knows anything about tungsten knows that its brittle.
OR? To cut a ring off? I don’t think so. 🙄
I prefer getting degloved
