Made in Great Britain by Durston (model 1302), this upright tool consolidates three essential ring-working functions into a single bench-mounted unit — stretching, reducing, and bending — eliminating the need for multiple separate tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 6-spline stretching mandrel expands on the upstroke of the handle, allowing precise stretching of non-stone-set, non-ferrous plain wedding bands. A double-sided 16-hole band reducing plate accommodates most popular domed band profiles for compression work. A built-in ring bending jig with a single die for domed stock rounds out the tool's capabilities. The unit requires no maintenance and is ready to use straight from the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor use with non-ferrous metals only (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, etc.).
