How to Remove a Ring That Won’t Come Out

We've all been there, you try on a ring and go to remove it only to find that it won't budge. Or Maybe your fingers swell, whatever the reason - a stuck ring can cause panic.

In the video a man helps someone remove their ring using only pliers and a piece of string with a clever trick that involves creating a spiral of string for the ring to unwind on.

The man begins by using the pliers to get underneath the tight ring and push the string through it so it sits underneath.
He then continues by twisting the string around the finger towards the tip in a tight spiral until the string forms a tight coil from the base to the center of the finger. He then firmly secures the string at the centre of the finger by tucking the loose end under one of the folds of string.
Then returning to the base of the finger, the man takes the start of the string and simply unwinds the tightly wound coil that has been secured to the ring, bringing it clean off the finger.
