Piston Ring Compressor Tool, 90mm Diameter, Spring Steel with Self-Locking Clamp

Overview

This piston ring compressor is engineered for engine assembly work where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. The 90mm diameter accommodates mid-range engine blocks commonly found in automotive repair and rebuild operations. The self-locking mechanism ensures the compression band stays fixed once adjusted, eliminating the risk of accidental slippage during piston installation—a critical safety feature for engine professionals.

For shops managing comprehensive piston service workflows, this tool pairs effectively with complementary equipment like piston ring installation hardware or a complete piston ring service toolkit to streamline engine overhaul operations.

Key Features

• Spring Steel Construction: Specially selected spring steel provides reliable compression force and resists deformation under sustained pressure
• Self-Locking System: Cam-style lever mechanism locks the compression band once set; prevents unintended loosening during installation
• Release System: Knurled adjustment screw with integrated cam allows controlled, one-handed band release
• Chrome-Plated Clamp Assembly: Corrosion-resistant fastening hardware ensures long service life in workshop environments
• Hex/Allen Key Adjustment: Included L-shaped hex wrench tool provides precise torque control for band tightening
• Compact, Single-Size Design: Fixed 90mm diameter eliminates confusion and simplifies inventory management

Why Resellers Choose This Tool
