Best adjustable ring compressor?
 
So after using the cheapy steel band adjustable ring compressor and having an oil control ring bend and scratch the cylinder wall, I am not using them ever again.

I have heard that the tapered sleeves are the best, but they have no adjustability.

Has anyone ever used the adjustable tapered sleeve compressors?

Here is the one I am thinking of: Proform

I do NOT want to go through this again, but some adjustability would be nice.

Anyone have any opinions on this?

that is a ok piece for someone doing alot of builds if your only going to do one just get the correct size that you will be using for like 25 + shipping then sell it

I never used that one I have used the band type you had problems with I like the taperd ones the best now. it is easy to keep clean just wipe it down you don't have to worry about lint and crap getting into the hose clamp.

I have used on of these for several years now with zero complaints for problems out of it.
