You need stronger blades, ones with <strong>diamond blades<\/strong> to cut through those dense metals.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd the longer or wider the turning device, <strong>the better<\/strong>. Tools with very tiny rotating knobs will <strong>make your fingers hurt<\/strong> in no time.<\/p>\n<p>\nYou want to be able to grip them easily, squeeze the handles tight, rotate the knobs, and cut through the ring <strong>without much effort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>A couple pointers to note when cutting rings:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lay their hand flat, palm up<\/strong>. It&#8217;s easier to slide the tool in between the ring and the spongy part of their finger.<\/li>\n<li>Once cut apart, <strong>do not pull ring off finger<\/strong>&#8211;YET The edges of the metal are <strong>razor sharp<\/strong> and will <strong>slice flesh!<\/strong> You should grab pliers, bend the ring slightly apart and then gently pull off finger so you don&#8217;t harm the person or their skin. <\/li>\n<li>Once the ring is cut off, <strong>do not rub your eyes<\/strong>. Wash your hands to remove all the tiny slivers and particles of metal!!!! (everyone should do this) <strong>You don&#8217;t want those sharp objects in your eyes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><h2>Get yourself a ring cutter&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>You never know when you&#8217;ll need one<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>P.S.<\/strong> My favorite line to tell people that come in to <strong>get their ring removed and resized<\/strong> (and yes, the rings can be re-shaped and re-soldered back together again by any experienced jeweler), is this:<\/p>\n<p><h2>&#8220;Wait here, I have a Finger Cutter in the back!&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>\nYou should see their faces. <strong>What a Hoot!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ppn0Nn\">See all the ring cutters HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Cut it off!
