Channels like this are why youtube is still very useful. Thanks for not throwing in 10 minutes of fluff.
This is quite possibly the single best comment I've ever seen on youtube. On point. Short, simple, elegant.👍
I bought 1/2 inch copper pipe at HD just to practice and this tool saved me $140 for a plumber visit
Now that you have perfected the technique, you can drill properly spaced holes in the pipe, and make a piccolo.
Thank You !! Just when I thought I was gonna have to pay a Plumber to come and have to take that damn ring off I saw this Vid and purchased it at Lowe’s for $12 !! and got the Job done !! 👍🏽
There are about a dozen videos on youtube about this type of tool. This is the _only_ video that has really explained how to use the ferrule remover properly. Thanks for inspiring confidence in this DIYer and so many others. You've made a _difference._ Fantastic video!
Thank you. My boyfriend has been trying to use the tool wrong for a half an hour until I showed him this video.
🤭🤣 It happens a lot.
I didn't realize I'm your boyfriend. lol!
I was cursing this tool because it wasn’t working as easy as some videos made it seem. After watching this one, it was way easy lol
Thank you for making the video, especially for us, who can't find a plumber willing to come out for simple stuff. It's not a matter of paying someone, it's to the point where you can't find anyone, unless it's major money job.
I just bought one, it cannot work without this tool. Thank you
I just wanted to say this worked fantastic. There wasn't that much calcification on the ring I removed, but some, and I had no problem using the tool to remove it.
So thankful for this video!!! You saved me a small fortune in plumber fees🌹I appreciate YOU!
Good tool for a DIY person like me. Taking off the extra handle-pulling arms does make it a lot easier to use, if you're only using it to take the sleeves off pipes
Super helpful. You helped clarify the one detail I wasn’t sure about.
Just need to keep twisting the handle while the nut stays still.
Excellent short precise tutorial!!
Very clear and concise. Thank you!
Brilliant tool! I went out and purchased it, watched this video, and the compression ring came off cleanly :)
Great video. Thanks!
thanks for the clarification, the instructions on the package don't show using the spacer as does the video.
Great lesson thank you buddy
thank you so much for this video
Very helpful thanks
Best money I've ever spent.
Concise and to the point. It really works! Now I wonder what I'm going to do with mine now that I've used it? I'll have to find a good place to put it so I don't forget where it is or what it's for.
I actually had bought the exact same tool and the directions on the package were totally inadequate. Thanks for the video, but you should upgrade your packaging as it doesn't even show the piece you insert on the pin for the removal of a ferrule.
Might work occasonally, but i've had them cinched in so hard had to dremmel them off (very carefullY)
Wow this tool work like a champ same me alot of time.
Gracias por el tip,va hacer de gran ayuda.
I hope so. I just bought one of these and we shall see.
Thank you
I tried using this tool on a 1/2 compression laundry supply line but the threads were different and it would not pull the ring off. Luckily I had access to a compression ring removal tool that is not thread dependent. I recommend using a tool that is NOT thread dependent.
I encountered the same problem on the very first angle stop that I needed to replace: The compression nut on the old angle stop had what appeared to be 1/2-inch female pipe thread, significantly coarser than the thread puller adapter that came with the tool, but I was able to get about a turn and a half of engagement, just enough to be able to pull the compression ring.
Nice
The arms on the tool stamped steel and are only useful for pulling faucet handles, so for cramped spaces you can remove the drive screw from the handle assembly and set the arms aside. I own a Home Depot "Husky" version of this tool, purchased new in November 2023, which looks very similar, except that the thread puller adapter is knurled to get a better grip with one's fingers and lacks the hex nut feature, probably to prevent damage to the threads if one should try to forcibly mate it with a compression nut with a different thread pitch. On the very first use I encountered a 25-year-old angle stop that had what appeared to be a compression nut with 1/2-inch female pipe thread, considerably coarser than the thread on the thread puller adapter, but I was able to get about 1-1/2 turns of the compression nut thread onto the adapter before binding, just enough to get a good grip and be able to pull the compression sleeve off. I found that lubricating the drive screw, the surface of the drive screw centering "peg" against which the drive screw presses and the end of the copper stub-out with toilet ring wax greatly reduces torque requirements and makes the compression sleeve come off much easier.
I had one that was a real problem, it started to distort to the copper pipe rather than coming off. In that case, it better to use a splitter tool to cut if off. Because of that, I really try not to remove it unless I cant make a good seal with the old ring.
Now the challenge is not to lose the parts since one of them can't be screwed to the handle for storage
WOW! Struggled for an hour trying to remove a F@(%!#g compression ring. I could spin it, I tapped it, poured hot concentrated vinegar on it, and couldn't get it off. Tried using the old ring with new fitting, didn't work. Ended up cutting it off and then the new fiting wouldn't work anyway and ended up using a sharkbite because u didn't have another compression fitting. Then I thought, I wonder if I could envent a tool that would make it easy. Then I thought maybe someone thought of that. Gonna buy this today!
Why did my compression shut off valve not work? I throughly did the prep work? Did I wreck it or do you once in a while get a bad one?
This is the most deceptive video ever. You first need to remove the handle puller mechanism or it will be in the way on every turn. The sleeve in the video must have just been installed because they do not come off that easy. It takes at least 50 hard turns and you can't turn the handle by hand on a sleeve that has been corroded on the pipe for years. I used the hole in the end of a crescent wrench to turn it. Save your money and just cut the pipe beyond the sleeve if you have enough pipe coming out of the wall.
Lubricating the threads of the tool, the surface on the centering "peg" against which the drive screw presses and the copper pipe stub with toilet ring wax greatly reduces torque requirements and makes the old compression sleeve come off easier.
Big thanks Ostrow and Labfolk1. Cutting the pipe wasn’t an option for me. So, after two hours of testing perseverance, the lubrication idea and using makeshift extended levers (using my channel lock wrench) the job got done.
does this work for 5/8 pipe?
How do you remove the bolt when it gets stuck to the adapter after removing the compression ring ?
Would have been great if the product was actually in the store!
This is a lot better than the one sale at Home Depot. The one at home Depot designed by pulling, but this one is to thread the nut to the tool and turn the handle ...great tool. I just work on this few minutes ago b4 watching this video. So I cut the ring by a hack saw, and I damage the pipe so now I have to solder the threaded fitting and buy the angle valve that does not use compression. So bad.
Is this device on the stores now?
The current version (2023) of the Home Depot "Husky" brand puller looks very similar to the Superior Tool version shown in this video. It includes a thread puller adapter and works exactly the same way.
Great video, and worked as demonstrated in removing two ferrules from copper pipes under my kitchen sink. I used a Husky compression sleeve puller (Home Depot, about $11), but it looks identical in every respect to the one in the video. My tool is 6-7 inches long and a little unwieldy to use in cramped spaces.....but it works.
When you say "my tool" are you talking about the Husky or the Superior brand?
Husky
I bought this tool to pull compression sleeves. The brass colored piece would only thread about 3/4 of an inch up the main shaft of the tool, because the threads on the main shaft were distorted and warped. I returned it.
Tried one of these puller styles at home depot that did not have the gold piece that screws onto the nut and it was horrible, the arms slipped off the nut. I have one like this without the arms and its much better.
Thanks for comment - The patent pending Gold accessory is what makes this item work so well! No slipping.
The current (2023) version of the Home Depot "Husky" brand tool now includes the thread puller adapter, very similar to the Superior Tool shown in this video.
Is that work to plastic pipe instead of copper pipe
Nice Work - Enjoyed watching your video.

Just so you know, those wings on the side of the tool are for pulling shower faucet handles as well.
I've been baffled by this since I bought the thing a year ago... thank you lol
Thank you! I was wondering! The dude could have mentioned something about it!
I wish the wings were removable. They just get in the way when you're in a cluttered space under the sink.
Simply unscrew the arm holding the wings until they come off, before using tool to remove the olive ring. Screw the the arm with wings back on when they are needed.@@FrankRusch
Only if the handle wasn’t so long and the T a loose L handle... space is tight behind existing fixtures.
Where do they sell this tool?
Doesn't work for me. I can't; figure if the silver piece goes inside the copper tube?
Ok so it worked great taking off my first compression ring. Now the brass ring is suck to the tool….help
Is the ring now for the trash or can you fix it again?
Is this released yet? I can only find the older version without the gold piece. It is also not on your website and I can't find it for sale anywhere.
paynl8 you can buy one at walmart that doesnt have the arms for cheap. Thats what i did
mixwell1983 x
Should be available very soon!
@@Mixwell1983 I just spent $13 at Lowes for mine.
Where can I find that?
If the nut is in good shape on old stop I use it on the new stop
Only if the female thread pitch on the old compression nut matches the male pitch thread pitch on the new stop valve.
Would have been nice to know that the ring has to be right on the edge otherwise the tool won’t work.
mine was about 1/2 an inch from the end of the pipe and it worked just fine to get it off. instead of assembling the tool ahead of time, I insert the silver metal piece into the copper pipe first, then push the gold threaded part over top of that and pull the nut over it at that point and then I insert the large part of the tool in through all of the pieces and then start turning. Try that, hope that makes sense. I was concerned too at first but this method worked for me.
@@Bturp1 I wrote this down and am going to try it your way. Sounds like it would work. I tried a different puller and it cracked the last thread of the puller. Glad you mentioned your way of doing it.
Should protect the floor.
Also with superior lighting, superior no water trickle, and superior infinite space it really is that easy :D
Just cut a small piece of pipe the same diameter as the one your removing the ring from. Put it in the valve that you just removed and tighten the nut from the wall.
Wow. Perfect advice bro!
That’s a cool looking tool. I just wish I knew where to find one. 😞
Home Depot has the same thing branded as Husky for $11 www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Compression-Sleeve-and-Faucet-Puller-63876/304543091
I bought mine at Lowe's
Or you could use a dremel with a mini cut off wheel and get it out that way. Careful not to cut tge copper the though.
Trình bày rất để thương
🤔🤔You have space to cut the pipe close to the o ring and bingo!!!😎👍🍺
Didnt work for me the compress ring is further than this tool can reach about a half a inch.
Carefully cut a 1/4 inch of your copper pipe ! You can use a dremel tool or an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel , if you have the room !
1:04 I notice the copper pipe has indentations where the compression ring used to be, will a push on connector like Shark Bite still work on it?
Late on the reply but I would suggest staying with compression fittings if thats what you had..
I am just a DIYer homeowner and i would only use sharkbites as a temporary solution personally. If you get this puller there is no need.. Sharkbites are also double the price and I dont like the fact that the valve can still rotate after installing.
Use PFTE (Teflon tape) (wrap the new compression sleeve two times before tightening the nut over it) 👍🏽 💪🏽
@@AwakenedWordsmith wrap the ring or the copper pipe?
I've always wondered about this because I've noticed some pipes are warped/dented after the removal of the ring and have always wondered how one can get a good seal without resoldering a new pipe on?
I had the same question about where to wrap…pipe or over the ring. If you think about where you usually would use tape to seal a fitting better then it would seem logical you wrap the “groves in the pipe” then when the Ferrel is slipped over that and compressed by the nut, the tape seals and fills up that space the grove made. So that’s what I did and seems water tight after 6 months. 🤷🏻♀️
I wanted to cut the groves pipe off and start with a nice clean smooth pipe but my pipe was too short. Seemed best decision at the time.
What are the claws for? Been using this tool wrong for years...
Claws will clamp on to back of stuck handles you tighten it for good grip then start backing the handle off. My shower handles were on there since 1965
Only to be used for valve handles. They're of stamped steel and flex too much to be of any use in pulling compression sleeves off of copper pipes.
I would say skip this one and get the T handle superior tool on amazon that screws into the nut behind the ferrule.. It is amazing!! I have done it way of trying to hit it off with crescent wrench and using a hacksaw.. This is a specialty tool but is worth its weight in gold..
Edit: okay nevermind, my puller is the same except it doesnt have the 2 "grabbers" on the side.. Still this or the basic ferrule puller are THE BEST I have seen. I tried a home depot one with the grabbers and it is garbage..
The "grabbers" have NEVER worked for me. For anything. They get in the way when using this tool for what it CAN do. But, when you suggest staying with compression fittings rather than switching to Shark Bites, and you thinking that the compression fittings have made the copper unsuitable for push-ons or do you mean that you're not comfortable with push-ons for anything?
O shit this tool is a a hit
What about an older coarse threads?
I encountered that problem the first time I tried to use the tool. Fortunately, I was able to get the old compression nut onto the thread puller adapter about a turn and a half before the threads bound, just enough to get a grip and be able to pull the compression ring off.
This is the same unit branded as Husky. Bought it and after a half an hour of trying to get the sleeve to thread, i realized that IT WAS THE WRONG THREADING! Isn't this stuff supposed to be universal!
Steve might it be that your pipe was 3/8 instead of 1/2 pipe?
Homes built in the last 50 years usually have 1/2 fixture sub outs.
👍👍
will this tool be safe to use for removing the ferrule off of cpvc pipe?
Don’t recommend at all
Important note: sleeve pullers should only be used on metal pipes. I used a sleeve puller on my PVC pipe and the pipe was damaged.
Well yah, most indoor plumbing valves are attached to 1/2 copper lines.. Pvc is mainly used for drain lines.
Ok so what do you use for for pvc or pex for ferrules ?
If you just cut the pipe about 1/4 inch! Save time and💰💰 in tools!!🤔👍🍺🍺
Does not work for me. same tool. Copper pipe is slightly bent and wont fit in
How much dose it cost?
Thanks for your question, when available this should retail for about $19.99
@theviet yeah, for a $20 thing, seems like they could spend another 25 cents for US production. I'll pay more for American products.
Why not just thread the new angle stop valve to the old nut and compression ring?
Or just cut the pipe 1/4 inch and bingo!!🤔🍺😎👍👍
Because the thread pitch on the old nut may not match the thread pitch on the new angle stop.
cool idea, but it didn't work for me
Only problem is this works exclusively on horizontal pipes. If it’s vertical from the floor won’t work
what prevents it from working? I have vertical pipes on my floor and wanted to know before I buy this tool. Thanks!
As demonstrated in this video, the tool will work on pipes in _any_ orientation.
by looking at the valve, pipe and compression ring how long you you think those items have been attached? it sure is that easy when they havent been on for say 10m years. who is removing a compression ring that has no wear and been on for maybe a year. this is a misleading video. I have used a compression ring puller (not the one advertised) on a ring that had been attached for 14 yrs and it was not that easy. In fact the puller got caught in the pipe. it has nothing to do with the puller because they all work the same. the difference is the durability of the puller.
Mine wouldn't budge with a different puller. I bought this one and will see tomorrow if it works.
🤦🏾and of course im missing the internal silver peice
Did not work for me. It’s a piece of junk
Mine didn't come off as easy and puller broke while using it. It's China made.
It’s definitely not that easy on connections that aren’t recent.
Angle stop? It's a 90° shutoff valve...
What part of the Country are you in?
The handle on the tool is way too short; can't get any leverage. A clearer picture on the package of how the pieces go together would have been helpful. The tool does work, but needs improvement.
Lubricating the threads of the tool, the surface on the centering "peg" against which the drive screw presses and the copper pipe stub with toilet ring wax greatly reduces torque requirements and makes the old compression sleeve come off easier.
Looks exactly like the ones they sell at Home Depot - and they are absolutely terrible. You need fixed arms so they do not come loose when pressure is applied!
Thanks for your comment, this was designed to remove a compression sleeve without needing the handle puller arms. It will not come loose.
just cut the ring with a grinder, it will pop out takes 10 seconds.
Thanks for your comment, just be careful not to score the copper pipe!
But not everyone has excess pipe to spare. And people search youtube for simple solutions since they probably don't have a bag full of tools like a grinder. Under my bath sink, if I cut it, the protrusion from the wall will no longer be at a comfortable length to work with. After that cut, a few yrs later if you need to replace, you then have to get into the wall. This is a much better solution for bathroom sink repairs than a grinder.
Cant always get a grinder In every area
bent on first use.
pay the cost of a simple removal tool and then sell it on eBay if you desperately need the cost of it recouped !
I didn't get the impression he was concerned with $10 or $12, but the likelyhood of a spending money and time on a tool that doesn't work. Anything is fine while it works But I seriously dread working on compression fittings. They're ALWAYS in some location with sh tty access because that's where plumbing always is. You buy pieces and parts and tools that don't work as expected and everything takes 3 time longer than expected.
I am going to play devil's advocate here. The water utility whether city, company, utility, etc all use a similar device as the pipe piercer when making a "tap" for new service. It is a saddle with a valve which is clamped to the pipe and a drill is used through the valve to make the hole for the water. As the drill is pulled back and out the valve is closed to shut off the water. The line is hooked up and the valve is opened to supply water. New gas line services are done the same way. These saddles are expensive and more complicated than that piercing kind. I agree that cheap saddle is not very good.
????? Saddles? There's nothing here about saddles or piercing.
Why buy this tool, you can cut the ring only just pull the ring hard with ranch to remove it!
Have to give this a big thumbs down because he says “easy” and that’s bologna. Narrator doesn’t talk about how hard you might have to twist that thing. Also, REMOVE that u-shaped thing that he talks about. It gets in the way terribly.
This tool is a worthless piece of garbage. I have used REAL "professional" Ferrule removers that actually work perfectly and don't damage the pipe. This hunk of crap barely works at all, is extremely difficult to use compared to true professional removers, and it completely damages the stub so that you end up having to cut it off anyway. I tried it 3 times, and all 3 times I was barely able to get the Ferrule off, and it totally ruined the stub. The third time, the Ferrule got stuck on the part of the tool that is most critical, which they don't even show in the video!!! DO NOT BUY THIS INFERIOR POS SUPERIOR TOOL. I am going to return it next trip to the hardware store and make sure to let them know they should stop carrying inferior, I mean "Superior" tools. The only way this tool works, is on a brand new pipe with a brand new valve/ferrule that wasn't fully tightened.
I just used the Home Depot "Husky" version of this tool to successfully replace six 25-year-old angle stops on 1/2-inch copper pipe. Lubricating the pipe stub and the threads of the tool with toilet ring wax greatly reduced the torque requirement and made the old compression sleeves come off much easier.
this is not what this tool is designed to do....come on man!
This tool is garbage
