Review on Efficient Compression: Lisle 18500 Small Engine Ring Compressor by Joseph Adaymiln

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Required for piston rings

Absolutely necessary when changing rings on the piston. Make sure you buy the correct size compressor as the pistons are different sizes. There are better piston ring compressors out there, but if you don't do it all the time or make a living, it's good enough. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky to use, but there is no getting around a ring compressor.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Almost never
