Best ring compressor for installing pistons?
I have a Snap-on but it just doesn't seem to compress enough to allow the oil ring past. It's range is 3 1/8 to 3 3/8" and is not a band type. Thanks for any input.

I will have to assume that they adjust to ranges that make the rings compress equal. so that would be an adjustable band type.

That's what I've used in the past with no problems either. Just be sure the rings are fully compressed.
