1. A current diverter ring comprising:

  • a. a body that is substantially ring-shaped;

    b. a main aperture positioned in the center of said main body;

    c. a shaft positioned in said main aperture, wherein said shaft is rotatable with respect to said CDR;

    d. a first radial channel, wherein said first radial channel extends from the radial exterior surface of said body to the radial interior surface of said body;

    e. a first conductive assembly positioned in said first radial channel, wherein a contact portion of said first conductive assembly protrudes from said first radial channel radially inward past said radial interior surface;

    f. a second radial channel, wherein said second radial channel extends from the radial exterior surface of said body to the radial interior surface of said body;

    g. an indicator conductive assembly positioned in said second radial channel, wherein a contact portion of said indicator conductive assembly protrudes from said second radial channel radially inward past said radial interior surface;

    h. an indicator in electrical communication with said indicator conductive assembly, wherein said indicator is configured to alert a user when an electrical resistance to electrical current flow reaches a predetermined threshold in a circuit comprised of said first conductive assembly, said indicator conductive assembly, and said shaft.
