Laser Tools 0285 Piston Ring Compressor

Laser Tools 0285 Piston Ring Compressor (53mm - 125mm)

The Laser Tools 0285 is a fundamental engine rebuilding tool used to safely install pistons and rings into the cylinder block. This compressor features a spring-steel band that wraps around the piston, compressing the rings into their grooves so the entire assembly can slide smoothly into the bore without snagging or breaking. It features a versatile adjustment range from 53mm to 125mm, making it suitable for a vast range of engines from motorcycles and small cars to large vans. The kit includes a specialized hex key handle for tightening the band to the exact diameter required. This tool is essential for any technician or engine builder looking to avoid costly damage to expensive piston rings during the assembly phase.

• Universal Range: Adjustable from 53mm to 125mm to fit most automotive pistons.
• Safety Design: Prevents piston ring breakage during cylinder insertion.
• Self-Locking: Ratcheting mechanism keeps the band under tension until the piston is home.
• Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile spring steel for repeated use.
