what type of piston ring compressor are you guys using to install your pistons? are you using a wrinkle band compressor? Adjustable ring compressor (like the one from summit)? Or are y'all using a piston ring compressor set with pliers and bands? what brand do you recommend i buy... im not looking to cheap out on this product im looking for quality and ease of use. thank you

I just ordered a proform plier type from pace perfomance for 50 bucks. If you look around most of them are the same "style" and from what I could gather from pictures they are most likely the same manufacturer. I went with the plier type for leverage and ease of use instead of dicking around with an adjustable band type.

Ive used all of them and the plier type are the best in my opinion. They are the easiest to use.

I would have bought one of the tapered ring compressors as I have too read that they are awesome. But I wanted something a little more adjustable. If you know someone in a machine shop they maybe able to make you one for 20-30 bucks.
