Ring Stretcher Tool Kit for Ring Sizes 6-10 – Ring Resizer for Gold, Silver & Soft Metals | Durable & Portable with Mandrel and Expander Rod | Easy-to-Use Sizing Tool for Jewelry at Home or Pro Use

Had several rings that over time got a bit too tight to wear. Purchased this to take a chance at ring stretching on my own since the jewelry store has gotten really expensive to go up a half size on ring-sizing. Worked like a charm and was really easy to use. Learned that it works best on a piece of full grain when tapping to stretch unlike hard surface without cushioning results. What started out as a "give it a try" item ended up being used for all my rings that were too tight. It should be noted that this is good for going up a half size and up to 1 size depending on the thickness of the jewelry ban. men's rings tend to be thicker so I had no issues however have not tried it on a ladies ring. Also, this cannot be used on rings that have stones that are mounted on them as they take a different type stretch unit. Definitely would recommend and will buy again if this one wears out and I need another one.

I did not use a hammer to increase the size of my gold wedding band as suggested in the instructions. Instead I used a pipe clamp to squeeze the center mandrel in a controlled manner. That way the ring had time to adjust to a larger size slowly, doing no damage to the ring. I increased the ring size from a 8.5 to a 9.5.

I watched the video and followed the instructions precisely, hoping to give a minor stretch to my simple gold wedding band. After tapping the top part as described, I could not pull the rod out of the mandrel (the stretcher) and thus could not release my ring. I had not hit the rod hard, just tapped it as shown in the video, but it was completely stuck. It tried pulling it out with pliers, to no avail. Finally, I put one end in a vise and used pliers to turn the other end, and after much sweating was able to separate them and rescue my ring ... which had not even stretched at all! In the video, they do not show this step -- removing the rod from the mandrel. It just skips forward from tapping the rod to pulling off the ring as if by magic. I repeat: I followed the instructions exactly, but after an hour of wasted time, and much anxiety for my ring, this was the result. And now, I still have to take my ring to a jeweler to stretch, compounding the waste of money. I do not recommend this product.

This is a good product, knocked only for lack of reasonable instructions and difficulty using as described.First consider that you are working metal, and the metal is tough. I don't think whacking it with a mallet is reasonable. So I thought of putting it in a vice, but don't have one at the moment. However I could quickly get a 6" C-clamp, and that is what is shown in the picture. Second suggestion is don't spare the grease it makes life easier!. A mallet is not shown but is necessary to get the pin out of the tool. Also not shown are vice grips that would be appropriate if you have not sized past bottom end of tool, into the recess in the little collet.I found this method far easier than the impact method. Since I had scrap to work with, the sample on the tool is about 6 mm wide, believed to be 14k, and I took it way bigger than recommended, using multiple passes.

This worked just like demo showed. I was able to stretch a ring with stone in it, 925 sterling silver. No issues and now ring is very comfortable. Also, was able to reshape my husband's gold wedding band that was a bit crushed from working construction.

It works. Only thing you need to know how much metal is there before stretching the ring. You will loose some.

If you purchase this tool, please be sure to use WD-40 or some other lubricant. It's very difficult to slip the mandrel out of the shaft. Be sure your ring is a soft metal otherwise, this will not work. I gave it 3 stars because it worked on the soft metal rings. I wish I could return this but I've caused multiple scratches, trying to remove the thing out of the shaft. Sorry I couldn't give a better review.

Facil de usar y efectivo.
