Bedlow... Trying it out and billing you for it :lol: :lol:

The rest of u: I know you can use finger-and-thumbs and the occasional screwdriver but nothing beats the right tool for the job.. In my oppinion.

Talking of piston rings I'll start another post..

D.B.
I must agree with you.cannot beat having a special tool for the right application.
They do save time,hassle n hearache.
Some may get seldom used but worth it when they are.
my favourate must be the piston ring compression tool :vcool

wouldnt life be good if the tool kit consisted of one tool that did it all.
An all in one tool NO NOT AN ADJUSTABLE SPANNER :!:
