I have used Craftsman ratcheting ring compressor with very good results, but you can only use it if you are installing the pistons in the Jugs before you put the piston on the rod.

Hose clamp or Hazet, this is a tricky operation. I recommend practicing with an old piston, rings and jug, if at all possible. Even Wayne has broken a ring in this operation, but then again, he did not have a cat's ass.
