The reference tool for ring work: check a band against the engraved US 1–16 scale with its half-size markings, true a shank that has gone oval, or form new work directly on the taper. Solid steel gives it the mass and rigidity to take real hammer blows without deflecting — the quality our guide to choosing a ring mandrel tells you to look for first.

The working surface is hardened, smooth and evenly tapered, so rings glide on and off without marring, while the knurled steel handle keeps your grip certain mid-strike. At 13 inches overall there is room to work the metal and read the scale at the same time.

  • Machined from solid steel for essential weight and rigidity when hammering.
  • Engraved with US ring sizes 1 to 16, with clear markings for half sizes.
  • Knurled steel handle provides a secure, non-slip grip during forming operations.
  • Smooth, hardened, and tapered working surface allows rings to glide on without marring.
  • Measures 13 inches in total length, providing ample space for working.

Sebastian K. ★★★★★

The steel is seriously solid—I've been hammering on it for weeks and there’s not a single dent. That grip handle makes it easy to hold steady while forming a ring. Exactly what I needed for sizing and truing.

David H. ★★★★★

The half-size markings are engraved clearly and make it easy to check fit without squinting. After forming a few silver bands, I appreciate how the solid taper keeps the metal from wobbling.

Owen L. ★★★★★

The steel is surprisingly hefty and the grip handle makes it easy to hold steady while shaping a band. I was able to quickly true a warped ring using the entire 13-inch length for leverage.
