🔧 Efficient Compression Made Easy: OTC 4838 Piston Ring Compressor Set - 6-Piece Review

it works and works well as long as you don't touch it with your hand, which we did and we stretched it. However, it still works and make sure you place the clip on a hard surface and not over the pin hole on your wrist.

Everything was nicely packaged in a nice little plastic box that keeps everything in place so you don't lose as much junk in my big tool rack as you should

I used this to install pistons on a 2006 Harley Davidson Sportster and it worked the first time with no problems. I am happy with this purchase. I love that it has a case so I can keep everything together.

Tried cheaper ring compressors and was disappointed. It's a quality tool, but I had to modify it a bit to make it work on the kx250f. Recommend

This is a well built set that is easy to use. Each band is marked for bottoming, and the holding holes are slightly off-center to create a slight taper that gets narrower towards the bottom. The holding hand tool works horizontally or vertically and the ratchet works well. My only complaint is that the bands are powder coated and the paint can chip unless a lot of lube is used on the bands and piston rings. The box is plastic, but well finished, everything is convenient.

Extremely quick and easy installation of pistons into a Honda D15B7 block and much easier than a standard hand held compression tool. I am facing this problem myself. I'm sure the edges of some rings are sharper or less finished than others. It may be enough to lightly lubricate the inside of the strap with your favorite lube before use to avoid this problem, but it certainly won't hurt.
