How Well Does A Tungsten Ring Hold Up | Ring Test

- In this video I test two tungsten rings to see how well they hold up. I test test the rumor that if your ring falls off the table it will shatter. Will the rings shatter if they hit concrete? watch the video to see what happens.
For all of your NightStalkerX Merch needs follow the link below:

The ring shattering is exactly what should happen. Hard materials do not bend like gold or tin will. They shatter like sapphire or diamond.
That's a very important feature to understand when trying to remove one in an emergency. You'll never be able to cut a tungsten ring off your finger, but you can break it by using vice grip pliers or by hitting it with a hammer while your hand is on a hard surface like concrete.
Yes, but these were cheap and did have other issues such as getting scratched and dinged up from very little wear and tear.
About 10 years ago I brought a $50 Tungsten ring which was on clearance down from $199. It doesn't scratch of dropped it thousands of times and when I'm working it hangs out with my keys on a steel carabiner. I swear by them but I guess it'll depend on how much you're willing to spend.
It is somewhat about how much you are willing to spend these were cheap and scratched pretty easily.
@@NightStalker2X I recently brought a Sapphire Tungsten ring, only because it was the first time I had heard of them. After a little bit of research ( Google ) I found that it's Sapphire crystal and Tungsten powder mixed-up together. Apparently it is indestructible we'll see.
@@NightStalker2X Tungsten carbide rings should be extremely scratch resistant maybe you should do a video on more expensive tungsten carbide ring because I definitely can't find a video of people doing a honest review on a more expensive tungsten ring
@@tyicbranch2734I think that’s because a lot of jewellers are against tungsten rings because it’s cheaper and they don’t make a lot of money from it compared to to a gold or platinum rings. Hard to find honest reviews. But they do exist. It depends on how much tungsten is used in the ring because from what I learn, tungsten carbide is really durable and can survive from drops. It’s the cheaper ones that gets shattered easily.
I see a lot of tungsten rings especially the modern ones survives much better than the old tungsten rings they made years ago. But I’m not an expert so, this is what I know so far
Greatly appreciated it I’m at Walmart now
Try a King Will brand tungsten ring. They are around $20ish. I have had one for almost 2 years now and it still looks brand new.
Also I have anger issues and tend to punch things and it has not failed me yet lol
Also real tungsten rings are heavy.
Thanks for the advice sounds like something to try!
Mines heavy then a mf and i never realized why it never scratches till now
@@Kulxc yes tungsten is one of the most densest metals so it's very heavy.
It also has the highest melting point at 6192°F
What quality ring can you get for 20 bucks? I'd do a better analysis. Try scratching or melting. I don't believe that's tungsten carbide.
Charles Sanders I wanted to do a lot more with them but they broke really easily. Also they scratched pretty quick so i think you’re right. But it what I found on amazon for “tungsten” rings.
@@NightStalker2X seriously false advertising. Dang man. Hope it wasn't too expensive
Charles Sanders nah they were both under $20. But I ended up going with a Groove ring and they do work really well. The only thing I don’t like about them is they tend to collect debris underneath them.
Make sure that whatever tungsten carbide ring you get is at least 85% tungsten carbide and 15% nickel (not cobalt)
Good TC85 rings are several hundred dollars, and they won’t shatter under those conditions
Maybe if you hit it as hard as you can with a hammer
Yeah... tungsten is a brittle one.... it's a fact,, because of the ring shape it will shatter fast
I wear I titanium ring. Nice and light.
I owned a $200 Tungsten ring from Triton.. I shattered it by smacking the top of a wood table. I never touched a Tungaten ring again. I went with cobalt chrome. It’s slightly less scratch resistant, but won’t chip or break.
Hmm. I have a $50 Tungsten ring (from Tungsten Fashions I believe), and have accidentally hit my finger and ring on counters, wood, washer/dryer every once in a while. No problems.
@@kendrab8997 just hitting it against things won’t quite break it, but a small impact like a smacking or swinging motion into a hard surface can certainly chip or shatter the ring. If you’re not rough with it, it should be fine for the most part.
@@cjdig86 Yeah I was implying a few accidental smacks/swings into something. Sounded very bad, but ok so far!
But I know things happen. Also exact ring composition can make a difference. Can't recall the specifics atm. Hope you found what works for you.
I just bought one for my boyfriend for our one year next month I bought it off the actual website and saved 150 dollars on it
Uhh my thing is if it’ll bleed and fade if worn everyday
Your best bet may be to go to a jeweler and ask. The ones I got were cheap and from online. I don’t think they were real tungsten or had much tungsten in them. But you will probably pay a decent price for a real one. I found the silicone rings like groove ring were really nice for working in and then having a nice ring for going out.
@@NightStalker2X the rings you bought were indeed real tungsten carbide. Other commenters mislead you because they spent way too much for tungsten carbide rings. Tungsten costs roughly $1/Oz and these rings contain roughly 15-20g of tungsten on average. Even the most expensive tungsten ring from the most reputable jeweler is worth less than a $ if going on material cost alone.
When you purchase an expensive tungsten carbide ring from a jeweler you are paying for the warranty and free replacement upon breakage
Buy a real tunstong ring, mine wouldn't break lol
Ya it would of been a better test to try a real one and a amazon cheap one. But sadly I didn’t have a couple hundred dollars to throw away for a video :/
And where could I buy one that isn't from a scammer? A real one?
@@MagicalWingLT most major jewelry stores sell them
I would go to a jewelry store if you’re serious about having/using one. They often have some type or warranty or return policy and it’s the best place to find a real ring. You may pay more but you would be getting a real tungsten ring.
I didn’t want to or have the money to buy a real tungsten ring just to destroy for a video so I went with cheap Amazon ones. They are crap.
My tungsten wedding ring broke in two just 2days after getting married, after just falling to the hard tiled floor.
Avoid like the plague!
IDK I get the point of them but if you pick a soft metal I guess it can be cut off pretty easy or use a silicone ring
Tungsten rings are actually extremely weak if dropped on tile flooring
@@tyicbranch2734 i know lol
Do u wear now?
@@cristianmand3201 i dont even know. It looks like silver lol
a good tungsten ring is expensive mine costed 130$ on sales
If I had the money I would of tested a cheap amazon one against a good one to show the difference.
You are not going to find a quality tungsten or tungsten carbide ring for under 20 dollars lmao. I got me and my wife tungsten carbide rings for 143 dollars each. They were made very well and most importantly had a nickel binder instead of the commonly used cobalt. I have personally tested them and i cant do anything to scratch it, and when thrown across the room onto brick, concrete, metal, whatever, they just bounce. Structural integrity, hardness, not a problem. Do your research.
Lol I’m sure these weren’t real tungsten but it was a test to see what you you find online like amazon that is supposed to be tungsten. I did my research but I wanted to point out a cheap “tungsten” ring is not worth it.
AliExpress sells them for less than 20 bucks lol
Is it real tungsten though?
NightStalkerX doubt it. You get what you pay for, pay a fake price get a fake ring
I fully agree with you! That’s why I don’t get how anyone could complain about my videos they are FREE! 😂
Those tungsten ring in this video are only coated . Real tungsten wont shatter . Needs immense pressure to mold tungsten metal
Honestly IO figured they weren't real with the price of them. But I wasn't going to spend 100s of dollars to find out or test it.
Real tungsten shatters easily. It’s hardness makes it break easily on impact. I had a $200 tungsten carbide ring from Triton, and I shattered it by smacking the top of a wood table.
I hate these rings. Just get a gold ring.
kabooey
If I had to sum on a description for this video... That would be it
No more rings buy a iron
An iron ring?
