Interesting concept...

They seem to be easier to use than ring pliers, but my ring plier set has all sizes for about the cost of just one size of your compressors. Other tapered bore compressors, while solid rings, run about $50.00 to $80.00 (for ARP).

You also seem to be "sold out" of some popular sizes. Do you plan on restocking those sizes, or was this a one-run tool?

Yes some sizes have sold out, we will be running these again soon. If you don't see the size you need check back in a couple weeks. They should be restocked again soon. 😁

I bought one for my 124 build. Fantastic. Only drawback is they only work on specific diameter bores. Not so great for a shop, but fine for me. If/when I ever get a bigger motor, I’ll just get another.

Thanks for the review! Yeah they need to be specific to work right, but there are only a few sizes most shops do anyway, so just get what you need and its good! Again Thanks!
