Tool for removing piston ring

A tool for removing a piston ring from a piston, the tool comprising:

• a handle portion;
• an elongate portion extending from the handle portion, the elongate portion defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a working portion including:
• a first section coupled to the elongate portion, wherein the first section is inclined at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the elongate portion;
• a retaining member protruding at an angle from the first section, wherein the retaining member extends away from handle portion;
• a second section coupled to the first section at a pivot region, wherein the second section is inclined to the longitudinal axis at a second angle, and wherein the second section includes a leading edge distal from the pivot region;
• wherein a thickness of the second section decreases continuously from the pivot region to the leading edge, and wherein a width of the second section increases continuously from the pivot region to the leading edge;
• and
• a ramp member extending from an upper surface of the second section away from the leading edge, wherein the ramp member includes an engaging surface configured to engage a piston ring;
• wherein a lower surface of the leading edge is curved upwards;
• and
• wherein a lower surface of the pivot region is curved upwards.
