I've had my Snap-On ring compressor for about 40 years ... Many many engines have been assembled with it.

I used this a few times, just keep it stored in a Ziploc so it doesn't rust in storage.

I have a Craftsman I bought new over 40 years ago, bet it lasts another 40 years if my daughter takes care of it, since there's not much chance I'll last that long.
