As an iron clad rule I never wwear any rings when doing any type of manual work. Too easy to get caught and damage the ring or your finger. Better to enjoy your work and enjoy wearing the rings seperately.

I keep my wedding ring in my wallet. I avoid wearing rings or wrist-watches. I find the feel of them extremely uncomfortable, and on one occasion a car salesman held onto my hand using a ring to prevent me from easily getting my hand back. Needless to say, he did not make a car sale!

I had a friend working on a 2 ton truck with the 24 volt system that somehow grounded out the system with his wedding band on his finger. He said it all but melted the ring on his finger.
