Any suggestions on the best ring compressor tool to use?

I just used the craftsman universal deal. No problem at all. Just lubed the heck out of it and tapped them in gently with the bottom of my mallet handle.

I bought that one and LOVE it. Much better in my opinion than the sheet metal roll type.
