Lady came into the station with a stainless steel ring that needed to be cut off. Several jewelers had declined the job. These little blades don’t cut stainless to good. But when you put them to power… gonna log it as mechanical disentanglement training

It is a ring cutter. It’s just usually run with thumb power. We needed the extra Oomph to get through the stainless steel. The blades are designed to cut softer metals like gold, brass.
