Ring conceals a tiny saw so you can escape when your hands are bound
The “Titanium Escape Ring” hides a saw that doubles as a lock-pick, so whether you’re handcuffed or zip-tied, you can break free…

Is it ironic, or a statement of some kind, that within a wedding ring is hidden a device to help you escape to freedom…?
Maybe I’m reading too much into it.
no, its not ironic
Way to be a spoilsport, lysa. But I forget, this is the internet, where people would rather be nitpicky and prove themselves “right” and “smarter than you” than play along with a joke and have a good time.
And technically, yes it is, actually. I was being self-deprecating with the question/joke. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/irony
Hmmm. Sounds like a good idea for those of us who travel the world frequently, but I got to imagine it would feel very rough on your finger!
One size — I’ll be back after I gain 50 pounds so that this fits.
I would prefer if the saw and the ring were connected. clumsy fingers drop things.
I like how it changes colour when flat.
goo done.
From the looks of the thumb holding it, the saw can apparently also be used to trim back cuticles.
So, one ostensibly would slip their ring off into their hands, pull out a tiny saw and use it to pick locks or cut cords while their hands are secures behind their backs…. without dropping it or gashing their hands? LOL, I don’t think I could do it! Also, if you are in police handcuffs, removing them with a tiny lock pick might not be in your best interests… The police can be brutal.
