Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Alltrade 648433 Piston Ring Compressor (2" - 5"), Silver - The Perfect Tool for Piston Rings Compression by Ron Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad tool but buy a better tool if you want a professional tool

The build quality leads me to believe this tool isn't for more than a few engine designs is designed. This is the level of a tool that lets you get the job done that you don't want to use often. You'll need to keep your thumb under the lever to make sure it's secure. You also need to make sure the aluminum walls are compressed evenly as they tend to move slightly when compressed. Overall I would buy this tool again if I had to do this project over and over again. It did the job, but look elsewhere if you're looking for a tool that will hold more than a few engine builds.

Pros
  • For compressing rings on 2" to 5" pistons
Cons
  • Almost never
