Better than drum compressor

I have problems with a drum ring compressor. The compressor itself was displaced and part of it fell into the cylinder. This tool provided much smoother compression and much better performance.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Not automatic

I think they would be ok if you were on Gilligans Island

I thought I was buying a quality tool with a name I would never wrap my pistons around without a lot of rework! Sharp edges, thin material, welds have deformed the band, even the ends of the clamps don't match

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

Not suitable for installing thin oil scraper rings

The bands are deformed in the places where the clips are attached to the band, which makes it difficult to crimp the rings in these places. Also, the band wants to detach from the block and pop the oil rings out before they hit the cylinder. I was very disappointed with this tool and ordered a non-adjustable compressor especially for my hole size (more expensive, but according to reviews much better).

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • No performance
