Unlike other hinged shanks that have a fixed size when closed, Hoover &amp; Strong\u2019s Adjusto Shank\u00ae can be adjusted to many sizes. Here is how to put it together:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.hooverandstrong.com\/media\/image\/TechArt%20Adjusto.JPG\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"8\" \/>1. Slide the Adjusto Shank\u00ae to the closed position.<\/p>\n<p>2. Hold both shanks firmly against one another, preferably on a mandrel, and mark above the joint where to cut the shank.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.hooverandstrong.com\/media\/image\/TechArt%20Adjusto2.JPG\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"8\" \/>Cut shank at accurate angle and align with the Adjusto Shank\u00ae. Then solder the joint.<\/p>\n<p>3. With the aid of a flexible shaft and appropriate selected wheels, shape the<br \/>\nsoldered joint to the same width as the applied shank.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.hooverandstrong.com\/media\/image\/TechArt%20Adjusto3.JPG\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"8\" \/>4. Lightly buff both the inside and outside of the soldered part. The sliding action of the Adjusto Shank\u00ae can be opened or closed very easily by the person wearing the ring.<\/p>\n<p>After you have put a Hoover &amp; Strong Adjusto Shank\u00ae on a ring, simply slide the shank to its full open position turning the ring sideways on the finger. Next turn the ring until the setting is on top, then slide shank closed for a firm and comfortable fit. Now, you have transformed a fixed size ring to a variable size ring that can be worn on any size finger.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.hooverandstrong.com\/media\/image\/TechArt%20Adjusto4.JPG\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"8\" \/>This is the only adjustable ring shank that enables a ring to become interchangeable from finger to finger or hand to hand. Furthermore your customers have a ring that they can be proud to show their family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>  <w:WordDocument>   <w:View>Normal<\/w:View>   <w:Zoom>0<\/w:Zoom>   <w:PunctuationKerning\/>   <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas\/>   <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false<\/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>   <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false<\/w:IgnoreMixedContent>   <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false<\/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>   <w:Compatibility>    <w:BreakWrappedTables\/>    <w:SnapToGridInCell\/>    <w:WrapTextWithPunct\/>    <w:UseAsianBreakRules\/>    <w:DontGrowAutofit\/>   <\/w:Compatibility>   <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4<\/w:BrowserLevel>  <\/w:WordDocument> <\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>  <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState=\"false\" LatentStyleCount=\"156\">  <\/w:LatentStyles> <\/xml><![endif]-->&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 10]>\n\n\n\n<style>  \/* Style Definitions *\/  table.MsoNormalTable \t{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\"; \tmso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; \tmso-tstyle-colband-size:0; \tmso-style-noshow:yes; \tmso-style-parent:\"\"; \tmso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; \tmso-para-margin:0in; \tmso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; \tmso-pagination:widow-orphan; \tfont-size:10.0pt; \tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"; \tmso-ansi-language:#0400; \tmso-fareast-language:#0400; \tmso-bidi-language:#0400;} <\/style>\n\n <![endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">\u00a92009 Hoover &amp; Strong, Inc.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Adjusto Shank\u00ae is a truly adjustable shank that enables the wearer to put a ring on any finger and have it fit comfortably.
