Install pistons from 2-7/8" to 4-3/8" (73mm to 111mm)
Has a Fine-tooth ratcheting lock

Set includes pliers and 6 bands
Pliers can be used parallel or perpendicular to the cylinder block
This quality set includes pliers and 6 bands. It install pistons from 2-7/8 to 4-3/8" (73mm to 111mm). Set works by placing a band around the piston, covering the rings and hooking pliers into the band, then squeezing. With the band lightly around the piston, insert piston into cylinder and tap lightly with hammer handle to install. The Fine-tooth ratcheting lock allows you to compress bands in small increments. The great thing is the pliers can be used parallel or perpendicular to the cylinder block.

Since last time, I got a new BlackBerry, added an iPhone, upgraded my Flash Memory keychain, gone back to my digital watch, started carrying a fountain pen again, and got a new wallet.

Starting from the left, we have my Casio G-Shock (Used to wear it only once a week, but wear it nearly every day now just in case I ever run into John Gruber.), James Avery "i-" cross pendant on a silver chain, BlackBerry Curve 8330 with BlackBerry Curve Leather Swivel Holster (Company issued phone. Has 3G & GPS, both of which are wasted on me since it's used exclusively for work e-mail and calendar. The iPhone gets used for everything else. I even went so far as to remove every app I could from the Curve since I have the iPhone now.), Apple iPhone 3G (16GB White) with Case-Mate Signature Series Leather Case, Peppermint VOJO caffeinated energy mints (They've changed the container design a couple of times since last time. I want the old case with the mirror bottom lid back. The latest case has a tiny hole in the top and it's a pain to get the mints out now.), University of Texas class ring, wedding ring, Lamy Safari Vista Fountain Pen (Extra-Fine) with Lamy Fountain Pen Z 24 Converter with Noodler's SwishMix Waterproof Bottled Fountain Pen Ink (a very nice writing pen that won't leave me depressed if I lose it, which was the case with the multiple vintage Parker 51 pens I've carried and lost in the past. The ink I'm using is wicked good, dark as night and permanent as a bad nickname.), Paul Smith glasses, key to my Mazdaspeed 3 with "No Fear" rod and piston key chain, all my other keys as well as my 4GB Cruzer and Texas Exes Life Member key chain, Spyderco knife (The friend whose wedding I get this from...or his wife, actually, is about to have his first kid.), and my black leather Tumi Meridian Gusseted Card Case with ID.

Since last time, I replaced my iPhone 3G with an iPhone 3G S, purchased a Mophie JuicePack battery pack for my iPhone, bought a second knife, added a little light to my life, and found a new notebook to carry. I quit carrying Vojo Mints as I work at home now and I was mostly carrying them to have caffeine handy for slow days at the office. I also dropped my class ring and destroyed the Black Onyx in it, but Jostens was kind enough to melt down and recast my ring with a shiny new stone at no charge, but it looks all the same to you. :)

Starting from the left, we have my Casio G-Shock (Circa ~1995), my black leather Tumi Meridian Gusseted Card Case with ID, BlackBerry Curve 8330 with BlackBerry Curve Leather Swivel Holster (Company issued phone. E-mail and Calendar use only. All other removable apps have been removed.), Gucci 1579 eyeglasses w/AR coated polycarbonate lenses, Kershaw Skyline (Damascus Steel, Plain Edge) Knife, Moleskine Volant Pocket Ruled Notebook, James Avery "i-" cross pendant on a silver chain, Apple iPhone 3G S (32GB Black) with Mophie JuicePack 3G, wedding ring, University of Texas class ring, Spyderco knife (A groomsman gift from my best friend's wedding), key to my Mazdaspeed 3 with "No Fear" rod and piston key chain, all my other keys as well as my 4GB Cruzer and Texas Exes Life Member key chain, Lamy Safari Vista Fountain Pen (Extra-Fine) with Lamy Fountain Pen Z 24 Converter with Noodler's SwishMix Waterproof Bottled Fountain Pen Ink (a very nice writing pen that won't leave me depressed if I lose it, which was the case with the multiple vintage Parker 51 pens I've carried and lost in the past. The ink I'm using is wicked good, dark as night and permanent as a bad nickname.), and my new and much-loved Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro Black LED Pen Flashlight.
