“Rescue” Tool Solves Stuck Ring Problems
![]() |
The device comes with a mechanical air pump attached to a short tube that slips onto the swollen finger. Opening an air pressure valve applies uniform air pressure to your finger. An attached gauge shows the air pressure.
You place the tube on your finger as close to the ring as you can, while making sure the tube isn’t over the top of the ring. Close the air pressure valve and pump up the device so the pressure is in the target zone as shown on the gauge. Raise your hand to a 90 degree angle to further reduce swelling and hold it there for 5 min., then bring your hand down and open the valve.
Before attempting to remove the ring, push the ring back to the base of the finger and then apply lubricant to the area around the ring and underneath it. The company sells a specially designed lubricant that it says won’t cause the finger to swell like other lubricants can.
The last step is to remove the ring, using a twisting or back and forth motion to rotate the ring off the finger.
Ace Tool sells the Ring Rescue for $315 on its website. A video on the website shows how the device works.
