I'm after a set of piston ring pliers.

Found these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BERGEN-TOOLS-2PC-PIS...VQQcmdZViewItem

Any other decent suppliers of similar tools.

Cheers

Wil

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

I use these.



Cheap, nasty and simple but does the job though.

Stops the ends from scracking the piston and enough control to just open the ring sufficiently to get it over the crown.

I use a pair of Clarke, same as the Sealey ones.

Cheap and work fine.
