Dont do this to your wedding ring!

[danz409]

clamp

[cocacola443]

Wow, good thing he didn't do another one. We might've seen how well his finger held up to a wood jigsaw blade. A vice and eye protection should be a minimum. Maybe the part where the ring flew out of the pliers and hit him in the face was cut out...

[toot1000000]

you switched it 5.27

[Pegases0]

how many fingers were lost before they thought of using pliers

[Stuckinthemuck1]

Dude is bound and determined to hurt himself with his silly little demonstration, isn't he?

[regentissatanas]

next time take a blade for cutting iron... not a woodblade

[0001Stealth]

I like how he doesnt wear protection

[fourpointohh]

if he had used a vice and a blade made for metal cutting, he would of cut the rings in half

[Villaking1337]

Safety at it's finest!

[3antaralhatab]

if i had a knife accident while cutting my last concern is a worthless ring, i'd be worried about what happened to my fingers instead

[Kittani1977]

but will it blend?

[MegaMikeCrazy]

@Kittani1977 i would love 2 c if it'll blend.

[cnocspeireag]

Who called this 'professionally done'?

[EngNaruSuks]

This guy fails at power mechanics.

[detroitdieselpower69]

get a damn vise you professional, cant wait to see you put that jigsaw through your hand lol

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

The comparisons here are flawed and not just because of the weaknesses of the testing. First off it is a test that is specifically designed FOR Tungsten thus it's going to focus on areas it WILL perform better in. Secondly there are issues with hard heavy rings like Tungsten, like how the heck to cut it off in an emergency? As you can see it doesn't cut at all and the added Carbon reduces it's weakness substantially, Some titanium rings are made so that they can be cut off for this reason.

[detroitdieselpower69]

@DoomsdayR3sistance you can break it with vise grips just look it up just watched it

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

@detroitdieselpower69 Vice Grips, and you are telling me that the pressure a vice grip like that would need, wouldn't then go on to crush the finger? Or worse yet, cause it to shatter.

[marek0086]

@DoomsdayR3sistance~ dude stop being a dumb ass and just watch the video!

U clearly dont understand the physics/mechanics of vice grips!

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

@marek0086 so you are telling me you are willing to take a Tungsten Carbide, put it on your finger and then attempt to break it off with a vice grip? Because that's a heck of a strong yet brittle substance. There is a fundamental difference between breaking the ring, and breaking it while it is on your own finger.

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

also let's remember, as this case is not just general removal, it is also if you were in an emergency, which may cause issues using such a tool to begin with. With other rings, because they can be cut safely AND predictably, that makes a massive fundamental difference in terms of safety.

[marek0086]

@DoomsdayR3sistance~ u just dont learn do u?

Theres a video of a guy showing how to break a tungsten ring WHILE its on your finger!!!

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

@marek0086 oh well, again, I still think with the kind of vice you need, it's emergency application is still a major issue. If your hand becomes trapped, in a gap you could get a blade down, it'd be a much harder process with a vice of any sort. Personally I still don't trust it, breaking anything around your own body doesn't sound like a wise thing to do.

[marek0086]

@DoomsdayR3sistance~ did u even watch the video??!

It does the finger no harm whatsoever!

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

@marek0086 I have seen a video of it being broken, not on a finger. But again, can you say that this method is going to be usable in emergency situations, which is essentially where I have been on about for the past... oh I don't know... all the posts. The Vice has to be bigger then the ring. Personally I am just saying, as a personal preference, I just don't like the idea of breaking things around me.

[jrssnet]

C-CLAMP, HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT?

[maxzig71]

Actually a comercial for mercy flight

[bgaffneysep]

I'm glad this guy is a professional. It looks like he's a future amputee.

[mrkrabbypattie]

now count your fingers dummy

[MegaPrince123456789]

bad quality

[bullbaloney]

I cannot believe what I just witnessed in this video. How unsafe the entire thing was. Bouncing those rings on the blade with your hand inches from the blade. NO vise. NO safety eye wear. What an idiot. If you would have held those rings in a vice you would have cut thru them, not just scratched them. Probably not the titanium but all the gold would have cut thru. If you like your fingers. Stop doing such stupid things.

[BlueBlazeful2]

Thungsten is the strongest :)

[vivitar45]

just pawn it at the pawn shop and buy another tool the take a tool and destroy it

[uzerofutube]

White gold and platinum???

But aren't they the same thing?

[BlueBlazeful2]

@uzerofutube white gold is way cheater .

[clickwir]

@uzerofutube No.

[younizzle]

This is so dumb what is he trying to prove? What a retarded company

"hey bob I've got a great idea that will help us sell these shitty tungsten rings we bought!! All we need is a jigsaw, a camcorder Some gold and platinum rings.......Morons

[yukhui]

The idea of using soft metals in a wedding band is so the band won't take your finger if it gets caught while doing work around heavy machinery, woodwork, getting in a car accident etc.

[bullbaloney]

@yukhui wrong dude. Dont wear any and you will be safe. Any and all rings will sheath the finger to the bone. Many manufacturing plants know this and is why you cant where jewelry while at work.

[yukhui]

@bullbaloney I agree with you, its safer not to wear jewelry. What I meant was when something goes wrong and your wearing a wedding band your chances of saving your finger are better with a soft metal ring in comparison to the harder variety. Looking back at my last comment more, I dont mean to say its a guarantee that it'll save your finger.

[NolanWhite]

you so smart! seriously a vice would have helped, a great deal!

[mikey2811]

lol at 5:39

[KSharp320]

@mikey2811 omg he drops the ring so funny!!!! idiot..

[omnimon64]

wow. you could have easily sliced your fingers off

[jjlwis]

will it blend? 

[DoomsdayR3sistance]

@jjlwis What Human Flesh... specifically the Fingers? Well we will probably have a donor for it soon....

[DIYMAN]

SAFETY first? no gloves, no goggles....for fuck sakes use a VICE atleast!

[graceoverall]

Dude... exercise some safety, geez! Also, use an HD camera and upload in 1040p so we can see more clearly the damage done. If you're gonna destroy so much money worth of rings, you should really do it right so it's at least worth your time and money.

[damanisdakila]

he is very retarded dude he can chop off his hand with the jigsaw

[hubeda]

that's a Gerber Flick MT

[Max11Seven]

@hubeda Are you by any chance a fan of TNP ?

[hubeda]

@Max11Seven why yes i am

[galaxija737]

OK! nice.... and the point is?

If my hand is stuck in a grinder i can stil have my ring.

[appa609]

first, tungsten carbide, not elemental tungsten.

Oh yeah, and thanks for destroying $1000 of jewelery and the equivalent of $10 of m time doing this worthless demonstration.

[appa609]

what's white gold?

[coriander2]

pointless excercise.

[owengoslin101]

this guy has no idea what hes doing lol

[trollboys]

as you can see , there s no more teeth on the jigsaw !

[vobotix]

use a concrete cutter and a vice.... if it survives that, ill buy one

[irhombus]

Well, the performance of the metal against power tools is impressive, but the premise is pointless. There are many pieces of jewelery that survive for many generations, and are not made of tungsten. If anything, tungsten rings are more of a hazard than a boon because they would be difficult to cut off in an emergency. I've just noticed my own wedding band and note that the originally brushed metal surface has become polished over the years. Jewelery is art. Get it because you like it.

[applesaucebi]

tungsten is brittle you can break it with a hammer

[911no]

Liar! no rings were cut in half and if this was professional I would not want a ring from them. I believe this guy should have lost at least 3 fingers for taking those 6:56 min of my life that i will never get back.

[ampeyro]

a circular carbon disc is more eective

[nitronovice]

he was using a multi-plier 600 XD

and this test proves nothing

[bornfromground]

he needs a vice and a better cutting devise jig saw is the wrong tool for this test

[Jma0322]

Wow, what a well done methodologically correct scientific test!

Whether or not tungsten is stronger and more wear resistant, it's irrelevant, the test sucks and is also very easily faked.

[jschu04]

I really hope you don't try to fix anything in your house. It's called a VICE or CLAMP. They hold things so you DON'T LOSE YOUR HAND!

[TheSimpsons1488]

its called stfu.. he does it the way he wants to -.-

[freakin1random]

@jschu04 I hold my tnt in my hand, but IM still alive :D

[WoWClarity]

this dude is so stupid :/

[resdudeornardude]

This video doesn't put out a good image on SAFETY.

[mrbobsevil]

What exactly is gonna happen? The jigsaw is gonna slip and cut him in half?

Gimme a break

[resdudeornardude]

I can't tell if your being sarcastic but he could easily cut himself pretty bad.

[halla369]

yea easy to loos a finger or tow

[silverstreak328]

@resdudeornardude captain safety

[fbejr]

Great the ring is durable I get it you fuckers get a life why am I even watchint this shit. Why am i taking time to comment. FYI the ring will shatter if it is struck with enough force an another hard surface like steel

[NitroxideHS]

Really smart test. Dont use hands to hold small stuff when you use a jigsaw. :D

Before you know it you might loose a finger or 2.

[ranjah76]

I am willing to bet that that titanium ring is 6al-4v. That is what most Ti rings are made from. If it would have been held still in a vice, and the blade was moving at a slower rpm, it would have went right through. Not only do I make titanium rings, but I work at a titanium plant that makes titanium so I wouldn't know. But ya, Titanium is very hard. any questions about it, ask.

[USZ71]

We can clearly see this clever individual sits behind a desk and pushes pencils for a living. Couldve at least used a table vice. I would have gave this vid 5 stars if the blade slid off and jammed strait into his hand! But since he is soo damn ignorant it gets a 1.

[JPR01]

No goggles, no gloves, no brain... Great material, will last forever in normal use, but very poor test.

[ekamatje]

This video doesn't show a correct image on the strength of the ring! The blade in the jigsaw probably lost alot of its cutting area from trying to cut through the first 4 rings!

He also isnt holding the tungsten ring as hard against the jigsaw as he does with the other rings since his hand isn't even moving (which should happen since it absorbs the kinetic energy from the jigsaw) when he pushes the tungsten ring.

at least use something sturdy to hold the rings and new blades on every ring!

[onthecuttingedge2005]

Tungsten knuckles.

[slipknotmaggot777]

haha i have that same multi tool

[v1los]

I was about to take my jigsaw to my wedding ring, then i saw your video. Gee thx, you saved my ring!!

[aliciamaustin]

so what your telling us is that if you get your finger caught you cant cut this ring off so you lose your finger!! wow thats a really good selling feature

[JPR01]

In the very unlikely case that your finger is caught and you can't pull finger out of the the very rigid tungsten ring, you can crack the ring with a standard vice grip locking pliers. Search for the video on how to do it.

[SharpxEye]

@aliciamaustin vice grips. know 'em, love 'em.

[mattbolinder]

all that proves is that titanium is denser than the metal the jigsaw blade is made from.

[sjalt]

tougher metal, or harder metal, which generally correlates to density

[luck1233]

also because of the intermolecular forces between each molecule. electrostatic force i mean

[jacobite19]

Ever Heard of a vice?

[arhaznook]

He has! Miami vice!

[firebomber39]

@jacobite19 he spent all his money on that ring, he cant afford a vice. lol

[James89B]

Well Michael, you sir, are an idiot.

I suggest you just rub it on a sheet of sandpaper.

[JPR01]

Very professionally done.... hahaha

[josephdubbss23]

that was very stupid u could have easily cut the shit out of your finger who told u that was a good idea?

[f16pilot92]

can barely hold it steady

[HotRockx]

what is the point of this experiment?

[arhaznook]

To show what you can do with a video camera!

[smaand1]

this was boring

[svin83]

lol... what an idiot:P that's a great way to loose some flesh and skin from your fingers

[walikai]

they should get a new host or w/e he was annoying to listen to

[AltheRake]

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, makes rings out of pure tungsten. Pure tungsten is denser than mercury, making it extremely heavy to wear, and it's very ductile - you can stretch it with your hands. The ring here is probably tungsten carbide, which is quite durable, yes, but also pretty damned cheap. This video does demonstrate the tenacity of tungsten carbide well enough but it's a straw man's argument; if your loved one is pressing her finger to a jigsaw, then jewelry is the least of your problems.

[cattysnacks]

that is why it saws tungsten carbide at the beginning of the vid

[cod4rulz]

two words.... vice grip

[NC92]

cod4rulz : HAHA.! tht was what i was about to say.!

[justthisonevideo1]

i dont know about that. they are hitting them with hammers and stuff

[fopeloop]

y platnum it cost like 1 million dollers

[gaurd5002]

ya ok. its 1400 per ounce. maybe around 20000 for a pound

[fopeloop]

wot about tungsten

[iloveelbows]

that is crazy. I thought for sure it would have some scuff mark on it or something!

[Billeboy9]

This is good to know in case I ever operate a jigsaw while under the influence. The tungsten ring might save my finger :)

[ftdjewel]

lol...yes, tungsten carbide ring is really hard

[r2amj]

noob with tools lol

[RR123RR]

Watch out if you have Hard Anodized Aluminum Type III on your flashlight or other tools... They can scratch tungsten! (Moh scale of 9)

[unholydevil2]

u can go to see the hammer test

[tubosolinas]

tungsten carbide resists friction,but not impact!Hit it with a hammer to see what happens!!!HAHA!

[cliosonic]

He already did that.... twice

[smyley90008]

I have a tungsten carbide ring and I can say that this video is 100% accurate. No scratching, no bending, no anything.

[taipeileopard]

dayum i thought titanium's the strongest

[F0rtyFive]

lol cool test

[halla369]

he is a shame to powertools

[dk281090]

i'm going to try this whit my mothers wedding ring :)

[ladyboreanaz]

lol

[danthaniak]

crazy! Dont try this at home kids.
