Over the years, I have installed hundreds of small two stroke piston in chainsaws, blowers and other.
I have never used a ring compressor.
I install--CAREFULLY-- with fingers and occasionally add the aid of a popsicle stick.
I had a friend break a piston ring trying to use a worm clamp and finally used a wide plastic cable tie after purchasing another set of rings.
There are many special ring compressors available as a set.
