@mfjplat18k cheap? lol the tungsten ring i own was about 140$... for a ring that isnt too cheap. and i love the look of it, and the fast that it doesnt bend.
@adamFIVE88 I'm a gold/platinumsmith so I'm biased, I guess, You can't size those rings either, damn near impossible with regular equipment so if you went to resell it you would have to find a buyer the exact same size. With gold or platinum I just melt it down and make a new one.
What about the ethical implications of marketing a product to guys who work with their hands that might cause them to lose a finger? If you market a ring based on its strength, your target audience is men who need ring that can take a hit, men who work with their hands. You're basically encouraging them to wear the rings at work. Ever seen a de-gloved finger? (Skin peeled off when a ring gets caught in machinery.) I have, and for that reason, I don't wear my ring at all when I work.
They probably shouldn't be wearing rings on the job. I would say as this is the situation in my job. Don't wear jewelry. Unless you would like to lose the top layer of your finger. I own tungsten rings, but I don't wear them to work.
@drunkmunkky I'm not sure what kind of work you do, but I can guarantee you there are many men who won't have problems getting their rings caught in machinery. I have a white gold ring and it got scratched just doing dishes and junk, so yeah...
@nambinhvu Fair enough. I am a woodworker by hobby and an EMT by trade. I've seen many de-gloved fingers in my 15 years of EMT experience, and every single one was from someone wearing a ring while working. My only point is that I'd advise not wearing any ring at all while working with machinery, and even though your tungsten ring can take anything, you shouldn't wear it anyway. Then, from that, if you have take your ring off anyway, who cares about metal strength? Gold is so much nicer looking
@drunkmunkky Meh, you could scratch your gold rings just by putting them down on cement/concrete. With the Tungsten ring, you can put it in a blender, or leave it under a car's tires and not worry XP With gold, once you get it scratched it looks all ugly. To each his own. I'd rather have a uniformly slightly less nice colored ring than one that has a nice color but ends up with scratches all over that look bad.
@nambinhvu I hear you. My white gold ring also turns yellowish within a few months of rhodium dipping. It's a pain and scratches way to easily--has its faults, but it's hard to beat gold for looks. I just think tungsten is...well, ugly compared to precious metals like gold. If you do decide to put your ring in a blender, please make sure to remove it first. :)
@drunkmunkky Haha I saw someone blend it and the ring shot through the glass XD they shoulda got a blendtec blender instead XD It all depends what you like, I don't really like yellow gold, I prefer white gold, silver is a nice substitute, but gets that dark tarnish after a while and also scratches really easily.
Ok..white gold. 5 hits??? Try 12.... Next, platinum..5 hits?? Try 8.... Next, titanium...5 hits again?? Try 8..... Next, tungsten...8 hits?? NO..21...21 hits. My my. I think he needs to learn how to count and I need to do something more constructive than to count how many times he thinks he hits the ring.
@wampa4321 Not only that but, when in the hell exactly is someone going to grab a hammer and start beating the shit out of a ring??? I mean, I know it's supposed to be a test to see what would happen to the ring in the long run but I just don't see how this is a relevant testing procedure.
@FredtheAsian Tungsten has a lower resistance to shape change than titanium. I think the biggest reason tungsten survives all this punishment is because it's springy. Just about everything else is so rigid that you can hit it with something softer than it is and still damage it.
Wow!! Superb video. Simply amazing and I learned so much from your demonstration!!
I would like one of these indestructible Tungsten rings. I will be selling all of my Jewelry, in order to get the money together to have it all cast in Tungsten.
I very much appreciate all of your effort, including your superb photography...........
inconel, monel, hastalloy, waspalloy, beryllium i have found these to be great metals besides titanium. titanium is just the beginning of hard Govt. metals.
Well Your Hitting It With A HAMMER! Of Course It's Gonna Get Sratched And Broke, But If You Throw A Tungsten Ring At A Glass Cup The Ring Won't Get Scrathed, The Cup Will Brake Easily, Trust Me
I bought a tungsten wedding band since I never take it off even if I am going to train in the gym....I do feel that it is the best buy I did. Considering that I would never do this to my ring I am extremely satisfied...
Great tests! Thanks! But just a recommendation...you don't need to talk so much...once the protocol is set up...just do the tests and we get the point.
Tungsten is about the hardest metal out there. This stuff is almost (if not) denser than depleted uranium. Only drawbacks on these rings are they are pretty heavy. Tungsten weighs about 3/4th's more than lead, but I love mine. I like to know I'm wearing it.
@75SilentWarrior No, if processed correctly DU is much harder then tungsten, they were using Tungsten before they introduced DU, they still use tungsten in smaller calibers. And the only reason why they are starting to try and replace some DU rounds with tungsten is because of conventions stating that DU is a huge health issue.
Wow, how could you miss the point that far? It's merely a demonstration of how hard the alloy is. Over time other metals will become scratched and dim, whereas tungsten won't.
Platinum coated with Tungsten is the best because you get the strength of Tungsten but the worlds most precious and expensive metal inside the coating.
White Gold has a Rhodium coating and constantly needs re coating. (12-18 months).
Frederick Goldman is THE main manuf of tungsten and they will replace their product . send it to them w receipts if the store won't help you . Triton is made by Frederick Goldman
You can break it with vice grips in under 2 minutes. Other rings you have to go to a hospital emergency room to have cut off. Your warning is entirely misplaced, it should be for the other types of rings.
i am not saying that ring is bad its just i dont see any reason for the ring to be super tuff. i had my ring for over 5 years and i never slam it with the hammer.
I belived this demonstration its from Crypton planet. Only cryptonian people like a super man purchase this rings. Sorry its not for you or me (heheheheh). I need much say this, the guy in the video have a strong ring?!?!?! [ :)) (hehehehehaheuaheuhaueh)
Why is this video nearly 6 minutes long? Everything of interest could have been shown in 30 seconds. Try some editing. this was booorrrriiinnnggggggggg
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok idc if its indestructible. cuz its still tacky to use tungsten. i might consider a relatively low amount as part of the alloy, but im thinking gold/solver/platinum/diamond
He also doesnt mention the fact that you cant size the ring either, so when he says it lasts for 20 years when you go from 20 to 40 you better hope your weight and hands stay identical because you cant size tungsten or titanium. Also what happens if you hurt your fingure when this is on and it starts swell up?
A tungsten carbide sword will be useless. Since its too brittle. Swords makers go through a lot of trouble to create somewhat flexible swords by tempering the metal. A tungsten carbide sword would shatter, since it will be too hard and brittle, and it would be very uncomfortable wielding such an inflexible sword.
Now take that ring and move it from that wood surface to a hard surface like a concrete floor and do the little hammer test , it will shatter into a million pieces. I'm speaking from expeirence LOL when I heard about the indestructable ring I just had to put it through the ultimate test.
Of course. It's extremely hard and virtually indestructible. However, the harder a metal is, the more brittle it becomes. Harder metals (like tungsten) are extremely resistant to almost any force, but when subjected to high shock force, will shatter rather than dent or bend.
I really want one of these rings though. Tungsten is such a beautiful metal. :D
Yes tungsten is great , my wedding band is a 10mm tungsten traditional plain band. I just had to buy 2 to put one through my test of hard knocks. I see your point , as a matter of fact now that I think about it , what wouldn't get damaged between a hammer and a concrete floor LOL I think under similar circumstances even a diamond ( hardest substance known to man ) would have shattered. Peace
Tao0161: Actually, diamond is the third hardest substance known to man haha. Aggregated diamond nanorods are the hardest, followed by ultrahard fullerite, and finally diamond. The nanorods are over 12 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while a pure diamond is a 10.
I own a tungsten ring similar to that one and he's pretty close to the facts. Yes you can break big ol' tungsten tools apart, that isn't the point. The hammer is made of steel, it is being swung the same. The tungsten ring faired better then the others, thats all.
well I work with tungsten carbide tooling bits every day. Tungsten isnt unbreakable. My job is to take a 24 oz. hammer and smash apart drill bits and and various tungsten carbide CNC bits as well as other various items. I break apart pieces the size of a 20 oz. bottle (solid) into pieces that are about a tenth the size of a grain of sand. I work for Buffalo Tungsten Inc. I know alot about the material and the various items tungsten and tungsten carbide are used for.
your job is to break apart pieces of tungsten as big as a 20 oz. bottle (solid) into pieces about 1/10th of the size of a grain of sand, using a 24 oz. hammer? sounds like an awful job. i'm sure someone can design a machine to do that lousy work. how long does one single 20 oz. piece take?
Blotches... not with mine... and as my oldest boy used to say.. shines like a diamond in a goats arse... :)
I have had no issues except for wanting to buy another one to have a different style.. the one I got was shiny on the sides but brushed in the middle (i was worried that it wouldnt retain its shine) well i was wrong and wish i had brought the totally polished (shiny) one.. Hope this helps.
I'm a bench jeweler. Just try to cut that ring off when it gets stuck on your finger. What cuts Tungsten that won't cut your finger off at the same time? Bad idea. It cannot be sized, either.

Now take that ring and move it from that wood surface to a hard surface like a concrete floor and do the little hammer test , it will shatter into a million pieces. I'm speaking from expeirence LOL when I heard about the indestructable ring I just had to put it through the ultimate test.
Taz0161 3 years ago
Of course. It's extremely hard and virtually indestructible. However, the harder a metal is, the more brittle it becomes. Harder metals (like tungsten) are extremely resistant to almost any force, but when subjected to high shock force, will shatter rather than dent or bend.
I really want one of these rings though. Tungsten is such a beautiful metal. :D

Yes tungsten is great , my wedding band is a 10mm tungsten traditional plain band. I just had to buy 2 to put one through my test of hard knocks. I see your point , as a matter of fact now that I think about it , what wouldn't get damaged between a hammer and a concrete floor LOL I think under similar circumstances even a diamond ( hardest substance known to man ) would have shattered. Peace

Tao0161: Actually, diamond is the third hardest substance known to man haha. Aggregated diamond nanorods are the hardest, followed by ultrahard fullerite, and finally diamond. The nanorods are over 12 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while a pure diamond is a 10.

being that is nano does means that is man made am i correct?
dragonxlove 3 years ago
Yes, they are man-made, and so is ultrahard fullerite. If we were talking about just natural substances, then yes, plain diamonds are the hardest.

LOL who the ef is gonna come across a flying hammer thats gonna hit them in the ring finger?

I own a tungsten ring similar to that one and he's pretty close to the facts. Yes you can break big ol' tungsten tools apart, that isn't the point. The hammer is made of steel, it is being swung the same. The tungsten ring faired better then the others, thats all.

It was 8, please go back to kindergarten and learn how to count.

You are referring to 0:35 right? Because If you counted 8, I would recommend you going back to kindergarten. :/ sorry, it was 12. I counted again.
Of course, if you were being sarcastic, then LOL!

well I work with tungsten carbide tooling bits every day. Tungsten isnt unbreakable. My job is to take a 24 oz. hammer and smash apart drill bits and and various tungsten carbide CNC bits as well as other various items. I break apart pieces the size of a 20 oz. bottle (solid) into pieces that are about a tenth the size of a grain of sand. I work for Buffalo Tungsten Inc. I know alot about the material and the various items tungsten and tungsten carbide are used for.
OX522 3 years ago
your job is to break apart pieces of tungsten as big as a 20 oz. bottle (solid) into pieces about 1/10th of the size of a grain of sand, using a 24 oz. hammer? sounds like an awful job. i'm sure someone can design a machine to do that lousy work. how long does one single 20 oz. piece take?

Blotches... not with mine... and as my oldest boy used to say.. shines like a diamond in a goats arse... :)
I have had no issues except for wanting to buy another one to have a different style.. the one I got was shiny on the sides but brushed in the middle (i was worried that it wouldnt retain its shine) well i was wrong and wish i had brought the totally polished (shiny) one.. Hope this helps.

I wished I would have known about these tungsten rings before I bought my wedding band back in 1988. That thing is pretty wasted now.

Ya know, I think resisting the urge to repeatedly bash your valuables with a hammer is a better way to prevent damage.
And can anyone tell me why 'running a knife over it' was one of his examples D:
YeOldeCanonFodder 3 years ago
I would expect that was an example of what could happen if you slip (badly) with a knife.
I'd be more worried about slipping with a chisel or something. Either way, this would obviously hold up.

I'd be worried about whether or not my finger was still attached : (

Watch out if you have Hard Anodized Aluminum Type III on your flashlight or other tools... They can scratch tungsten! (Moh scale of 9)
RR123RR 3 years ago
I'm a bench jeweler. Just try to cut that ring off when it gets stuck on your finger. What cuts Tungsten that won't cut your finger off at the same time? Bad idea. It cannot be sized, either.

They can be snapped off by a pair of standard vice grips.
