Back in August or out no where I received pictures of fingers skinned to the bone from wedding rings. (two came from customers, one from a good friend) One from slipping on a ladder, one from getting caught on a drill press, and one from getting their finger smashed and swelled beyond ring removal. I always wore a titanium ring so I wouldn't bend it pulling wrenches. I took the message that it was time to switch.
Not wearing a ring isn't an option to my wife. I looked into tattooing one, but I was told I use / scrub my hands to much and it would fade and need to be redone over time.
So being a guy that runs machines all day in the woodshop, to fabricating / building diesel pulling motors I needed something that would last.
I bought a Groove brand silicone ring. I figured it would probably make my finger sweat, or fail after a week. I got the ring and it was the wrong size. I called and they over nighted me a new ring free of charge. So far my finger doesn't sweat, I don't even feel like I'm wearing one. No pain / calluses pulling wrenches, running the chainsaw, or climbing my sticks. It hasn't failed or cracked in the cold. Still looks like new even after abusing it scrubbing my hands with pumice hand cleaner. Even better is no more clank noise if I bump my hand on anything metal setting up my tree in the dark.
I figured I would post this up and maybe save someone else. I had serious doubts about it, but so far is been great.

). I didn’t order one that time, but here come the emails.... all day, everyday. Then they had the 25% off deal for Veteran’s Day so I ordered one.....
