There's still another risk not yet mentioned here.

A number of years ago, a friend who was a professional garage mechanic, inadvertently touched a hot under-hood wire with his steel wedding ring. Not sure to this day where he was grounded, but the hot wire turned his wedding band into a red hot iron that very nearly burned his finger off. He went immediately from the shop to the ER where they cut the ring off and treated his whole hand for burns. He was out of work for a month while it all healed, and never wore his ring again!

At age 80, I no longer do my own work, but after that, whenever I did - guess what? I slipped the wedding ring off!

Best bet? Think ahead and stay safe.
