KD piston ring pliers


 If you used your finger nails for any task at all, someone makes a tool for that. I'd never considered that a tool was needed to spread piston rings but of course...


Correction; Thanks Vector Warbirds (in comments), this is part of a ring compressor set, missing the actual compression bands. See below.

    That is a ring compressor my friend, the steel bands (various sizes) that go around the rings and clip to those pliers are not shown. I do have a ring expander tho:) Much smaller and does save the fingers and old cast rings from breaking.

    Thanks, Looking online it was called a ring compressor but none had the bands you mention. Didn't make sense to me, it does now. Good weird looking tool anyways...
