whoops, slipped.... smashed the finger.... I'm sorry......

@DelenorFoxfyre Heh... nah, it won't happen because the threads of the vise screw are so close together. Hence, a full turn of the screw means very little horizontal movement. Because your finger has fat, you can squeeze it ¼ inch without any pain. Try squeezing your finger where a ring normally is. Tungsten, however, is so hard that there is no flexibility. It'll crack with much much less than ¼" of movement.

You can use a desk vise like this or vise pliers.

I'm sooo glad you guys posted this. Now I can tell all my misinformed friends at work that Tungsten Carbide rings not only rock, but are safe as well.

I also have to admit I was a little uneasy about a ring soo strong as well but now..... it's shopping time. Thanks sooo much, I'm spreading the good word.

This is good to know in case your finger is hurt. Also the vice grip method works very well if you don't have a vise laying around.
