How to Remove a Tungsten Carbide Rings

The only way to remove a tungsten carbide ring in case of emergency is to remove the finger. But the usual method of using a pair of metal cutters on the ring won't work. What you need is a strong grip and a pair of the proper pliers.

1. Take the vise-grip pliers and carefully begin to squeeze the tungsten carbide ring. Steadily adjust the pressure on the side of the vise until you hear the ring crack.

2. Rotate the ring (or the pliers if the ring is stuck too tightly to turn) a third of the way and repeat the previous step. Continue to squeeze the ring until you hear it crack in a different place.

3. Continue cracking the tungsten carbide until it breaks entirely. The ring should shatter, leaving the finger intact.

Tips & Warnings
If possible, allow emergency or medical personnel to crack a tungsten carbide ring. But if you have to do it yourself, be very careful to ramp up the pressure in increments so that you don't accidentally clamp the person's finger with the vise grips.
