Cheaper too I believe. $250 or so.



Yikes, do not pay this much. Normal ones cost $10-30. And ones with inlays and extra features maybe $125.

You'd think an ER would not only want but could easily afford a dremel and some cutoff wheels.



Every ER has a "ring cutter". It's essentially a weak assed dremel.

A real dremel would be a fricking nightmare. It is plugged in and you need to add water or saline for the patient. To cool the ring as you're cutting. Also a real dremel would fling sparks, filings, and bits of diamond.

Also if you slip with a "ring cutter" you may nick the patient. Slip with a real dremel, and you've possibly lacerated a tendon.

I spent near half an hour and a pack of batteries trying to cut a woman's diamond wedding band. I had a diamond coated disc. No dice. Patient crying. Finger continuing to swell. I told the woman "sorry we aren't jewelers". The husband even tried to call the jeweler, i dont know why? Finally, an old Baw happened to be two doors down and overheard us. "Got cutting pliers in my truck". I told the woman she was gonna lose some karat weight. I scrubbed the pliers with betadine. I almost caught a blood covered diamond chip in the eye, but got it off.

I have a tungsten ring with rose gold. I never wear it. I wear a black rubber wedding band.

polished rings take on a brushed finish and brushed finish rings take on a polished finish over the years IF you make it that far...

in 2005 a German medical journal described the removal of a titanium thumb ring of 2 mm thickness from a patient's penis. Said situation (in which the ring was excised with the aid of an electric cutting tool) was described as having presented "an interdisciplinary challenge for urologists, jewelers, and locksmiths."

You're the dumbass, dumbass.

You ever wonder why the symbol for Tungsten, Element #74 is W?

Tungsten (and, confusingly, the ore it is refined from) was known as Wolfram in Swedish. To help clear up the difference between the metal and the ore, the scientific community went with calling the element Tungsten.

But archaically the Atomic Symbol for the element is the letter "W".

The alternative name that the world knows it by comes from the Swedish words for heavy stone "tung sten".

I had a buddy who almost lost a finger due to a ring. he jumped up to grab something off the top of a tall metal cabinet. his ring hung up on it on the way down.
