Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / lobe pump
Italian term or phrase: spingi-tenuta
in an instruction manual for the assembly of a lobe pump, I have 'spingi-tenuta', which is not illustrated in the diagram, sometimes also referred to as 'attrezzo spingi-tenuta'. Simply 'seal-inserting/pressing/compressing/pushing tool'?

packing press-on tool / packing installer


Explanation:
Tool denominations in different languages are often unrelated. So, from comparing tool manufacturers' catalogues, I would say that utensile per spingere/premere or utensile spingi-.... corresponds to press-on tool or installer.
Tenuta is often packing on a pump, or also gland packing / packing seal among others
