Piston Ring Compressor Tool, 60mm Diameter, Spring Steel with Quick-Release Clamp

Overview

This is the workhorse tool for controlled piston ring compression during engine assembly and rebuild operations. The 60mm diameter accommodates small to mid-sized automotive engines—the core segment for independent shop work. The self-locking, quick-release clamp system eliminates fumbling and adjustment errors, keeping both hands free for proper ring positioning during installation. Pair this with piston ring installation tools and professional piston ring pliers to establish a complete ring service workflow that customers recognize and trust.
