John,
That's an interesting looking tool (I bet you can't hear that enough..

), I haven't seen one like that before.
This is the one I used to install my pistons last week. It's a similar style, except no handle and the band is much deeper. I've had it forever and I was curious how well it would work in this application. It actually worked quite well, pistons were a snap to install. It has Duro Industro, USA (stamped on steel band).
Your motor looks great...
Mike...
