How To: Husky Compression Sleeve and Faucet Puller
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 май 2019
- There were a lot of bad reviews for this item at Home Depot and I almost decided to wait a few days to have a different brand shipped out. I decided to go for it and give it a try. The instructions on the package are not that clear but it makes more sense when you take a look and see how it works. I hope this helps someone.

Thank you for making this video. We tried for 30 minutes to get the product to work as per the lame directions on the package. With your way, we got the compression ring off in less than a minute. Life. Saver.
You are welcome, I am glad my instructions helped.
same!!
The printed instructions on the back of the package are awful.
This instructions is WAY better than the one on the packaging. Thank you.
This is a good example of how taking the time to learn how a tool works will make the job successful. I've seen so many people fumble with the whole assembly not knowing that this is two tools in one; the other being a faucet handle puller. This works the same as most other compression sleeve/faucet handle combos until you get the specialized ferrule removers like Pasco that cost 3X as much.
Thank You, Thank You! I was about to give up and call a plumber. However, after viewing your video, I was able to remove a badly stuck compression ferrule. The instructions on the Husky packaging do not work. They need to publish your instructions and give you the credit. You saved my day! God Bless You!
Thank you. These instructions are clearer than the ones included on the packaging.
Great instruction! If anyone else's compression sleeve is stuck to the tool, just give the silver bit a good tap with a hammer while it's sitting in the brass bit. Comes right off and your tool is ready for use again!
Great tip
I’m surprised the hammer tip worked so well! I was getting ready to pull out some pliers while flipping through the comments, but after one whack with the hammer, it easily screwed off by hand! Thank you!!!
I wished I read your comment before using a screwdriver and hammer to tap the compression ring off. Your tip is much easier!
Can you elaborate. The ring is stuck on my tool.
Thank you! This is why I came to the comments after following this awesome video to remove the sleeve/nut.
Wow, I've watched a lot of videos and you are the only that has unscrewed the main handle from those puller arms. Why didn't I think of that? A lot of comments on other videos were saying how those got in the way and I guess none of us figured out to unscrew it from the arms. Good job! Now to see if I have the strength to pull this off. I used another smaller one and it wouldn't budge and when I unscrewed it when I wasn't making progress the end thread was cracked. Later..... Bingo! It worked great! In case anyone is interested, the Ridgid One stop wrench to install angle stops and compression couplings are wonderful tools. I don't think I could have accomplished this without them.
There should be a hex shaped end at the pulling side so you can turn it using an impact driver :)
Thank god I found this video. I had that ring out in 5 mins. Best $14 I’ve spent at 7pm.
Thank you! You're one of the few who were smart enough to show us how to use this thing with the punch bit install and the wing removal. Most just skip over that or leave the wing on and work in a vacuum lol.
Excellent video- short and to the point. The instructions on the back of the package are so poor - I couldn’t get it to work. After watching this, it was easy to use! Thanks!
Thanks you! I’ve been trying to figure out this tool for an hour.
I’m so glad you filmed this. I just bought this at Home Depot and after reading the awful instruction search for help and your clip came up first. Took me about 5 minutes because the area under my sink had drain pipes in the way but it came off easily.
Thanks for info. I just bought this but didn’t know how to use it!
Thank you!!! The instructions on the package were terrible. I needed a fix TONIGHT for a broken angle stop and this was all Home Depot had for me. I REALLY appreciate you making it clear and easy! Liked and Subscribed!
Thank you!!! Just like you, based on the reviews i was going to wait for a better one to come in the mail. But I was in the middle of a sink replacement project, and HD was right around the corner, so I decided to give it a try. The HD employee even suggested that I don't buy it, and leave the existing ferrule (sleeve) and nut on the copper pipe. I didn't want to do that so I purchased the Husky anyway. Thanks SO much for taking the time to post the video. I easily was able to remove two nuts/sleeves with this tool.
Your video was the greatest! It saved me an additional headache
Thank you for this video. I bought this identical Husky tool and was using it improperly. You saved me the cost of a second purchase of a different puller!
Thank you for your invaluable tip in using this Husky tool (sold by Homedepot) as a sleeve puller. It worked quite well for me with no damage to the copper water line. I think this is a better or updated design than a similar one sold by Lowes under the name BrassCraft Faucet Handle Puller which does not have the brass connector to the compression nut. That other model uses the pincer hooks to pull the nut which can be difficult and problematic for a lot of users because of the design; the hook tends to pull off the nut. For this Husky sleeve puller, it works very nicely the way you recommended it without having to deal with the problematic pincer hooks.
I bought this for 2 compression washers. The first worked easy the second would not budge because those arms kept popping off the nut. Saw this video and did the same thing. 30 seconds later it was off with no effort. Great tip
I just used this to remove a compression ring off a 1/2 inch copper pipe under the bathroom sink. Worked great.
Thank you! Glad this video is up 4 years later. Instructions on package aren't worth a flip. I appreciate you taking time to make this short but effective video!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the video, bought this tool and the compression fittings off in about 2 minutes, amazing, thanks again. My fittings were 40 years old.
There are some models (from other manufacturers) that don't include that brass piece that screws onto the nut - you actually have to use the shoulder pieces on that one, and clip them behind the nut. Such models do not work well.
Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for this video! We’ve been working on our sink for a few days, saw this machine but the guy at home depot said to cut the fitting off with a hack saw. I bought both the Husky tool and the hack saw figured I’d try the tool first and it worked! 🎉
Excellent video! You saved us from having to call a plumber! Many thanks!
Thanks for your explanation. I fought using this tool until I saw it done by you.
Great video! Mission accomplished in barely two minutes after watching the video. And yes, the directions suck! Thanks for posting.
Thank you I have never been able to get that tool to work until I saw this video!!!!
Thank you ! Worked like a charm. I wasn't sure I would have the strength but it all turned out just fine.
Yeah I’m just gonna say your awesome my guy for the help with this
Great video man. Simple, straight to the point!
Could have used this a few days ago !! The included instructions sure did not mention taking off the outer grips, which just bent up under pressure!! Thanks
I don’t remember why I needed this tool once, like 20 years ago, but I did. I don’t remember whether I had to put a different finished stop on, or the threads were crossed, but my helper actually had one. Usually you can just use the old nut and ferrel, but for what ever reason, that wasn’t going to work in this particular application. Anyway, my helper actually had one of these. He didn’t seem so confident in using it either, but I was in a jam and ready to try whatever. It worked like a charm. The ferrel d@mn near just fell off of the pipe. The other guy was like, “jelk yeah,” when it worked as well. I think he must’ve stayed at a Holiday Inn, that night..
What’s crazy is I started a new job today, and the very experienced service plumbers that I met, had never heard of such. You never stop learning as a plumber, because they won’t let it stay the same. I’m sure they’ll teach me about things that I’ll take with me for the rest of my life. I’ve still never had to use one again though.
thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to show this.
Omg, tyvm! Taking off that side part worked so much better. Couldn't get it to work with that other crap on there. Wasn't my 1st choice of puller, but only one they had! I was about to give up, lol! Thx again, great video! But this tool sucks under the sink! Lol.
Thanks this really helped me when I couldn't get mine off!
Thank you! Those two long pieces do get in the way...
Thank you so much! I couldn't for the life of me figure it out from the illustration on the box 🙏🏼 I'll leave a good review on Home Depot too!
Thanks for the video! Helped me out a bunch
Thanks! Couldn't figure out where the silver cylinder looking part went. The olive ring looked like someone had wrenched on it with plyers and then gave up and re-used it. It's a wonder it didn't leak from the get go.
Thanks! Worked perfectly after I watched this.
Thank you so much. This saved my sanity.
Thank you -very clear instruction
Hi. Been watching some of the plumbing hints from Rainy Sydney Australia. Suggestion perhaps. Why not remove the small rods at the end and grind the end of the bolt section into a squarish shape and use a power drill.?
👍Thank you for the alternative method🙏
Thnx buddy I just got this sleeve puller from home depo & u show me a easyway to use this I got a better idea why don't u goto huskey & show this vdo & make some money
Frenchy the plumbers strikes again! Good video, thanks!
Great video!
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Bought it. One little problem, the THREADING appears to be different than the sleeve. Put the new cutoff valve back on to make sure I didn't strip the threads and it still fits perfectly but its still is dripping. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Thank you Great video
Great and needed video. The instructions are technically correct but they don't make it clear that you do NOT use the arms for pulling the compression ring - I was using it incorrectly until I saw your video! I just bought it a few days ago.
The back of the package clearly shows the wings above a section titled "Compression Sleeve Puller Instruction". Stupid Husky. Thank goodness for this video.
The drawing on the package is misleading with the nonfunctional parts. Thanks for your video.
Thanks for making this video, I have been using this with that prong looking contraption and it has been a pain! Your video just made my job easier - sorta ;) Question, what do you do when the pipe is crimped from the ferrule being overtightened from when they were originally installed? I have had to open up the wall and cut off the bad section then solder on a new section for the new valve. Is there another way that you know of for when the pipe is damaged? Thanks
I had the same issue, and just kept cranking on the puller tool and it compressed the copper pipe down and got the ring off. Installed new parts and no leaks.
It took some serious cranking but my puller got the old compression ring off, but it also made the copper tubing narrower, almost like it was factory reduced from where the ferrule was stuck all the way to the end of pipe. That made the pipe to narrow for the new valves compression ring to compress onto the pipe. Ended up cutting about 3/4” off the end of pipe and taking the escutcheon ring off the wall to give me just enough room to install new valve. I’ve never seen a pipe flared so evenly like that caused by someone torquing way to hard when installing old valve. It would have been better to see if old nut and ferrule would have worked with new valve.
I have one like that from Amazon by a company called superior tool that is all 1 piece and it works awesome.
This is one of those tools that are worth their weight in gold. One issue with the HD one is the ferrule got stuck on that sleeve thing.
This video does not show but to remove the sleeve, you put the aluminum piece that has the sleeve on the floor and put the larger brass piece over and give a hard slap. It comes right off.
@@TonghoPhotography are you sure the video doesn't show it?
@@builderallsuccessteam488 not this one I don't think unless I missed it somehow. Some other ones showed it
There's two different ways to use that for that purpose. In some cases the copper is too long to thread the outer piece on. In that case you can skip that part and just use the inter piece, but keep the jaws attached. In that case you then you pull on the compression nut. I should say, this has only happened to me twice.
I had one that was so stubborn it started to stretch and distort to copper pipe, it made it worst. Sometime its better not to remove unless you can not get a good seal, especially if you only have a small stub exposed and not room to do a cut-off.
I had the old design from home depot. It didn't come with the thing that screws into the old nut. They expected you to try to hook onto the nut with the 2 arms off the tool. Needless to say it didn't work. It was the biggest piece of shit ever and I threw it in the trash.
Today I had 2 that were stuck and I resulted to scoring the olive/compression ring and prying it off. I goggle it once again and saw the See jane drill video and her $40 tool. I was about to buy it for future use when I saw the new home depot version the threaded nut adapter. Now I cant wait to get one. My concern the the thread pitch. I still come across the fine thread version of the angle stops like I did today. I see that some of the more expensive tools come with both threads.
But I also see a 22mm/15mm version being sold for cheap. Its a nicely built tool but the reviews say that it doesn't work with the ones we have here in the states. I really don't want 2 tools in my box.
Well I guess i will but this one from home depot for now.
I used the mip gas torch to help me loosen the ring up
Now how do you get the compression fitting off of the tool?
Will that work on a pvc pipe also ? thanks
Gracias
Thanks bro f save my life !
I learned something and I'm a chicken! This tool is great!
Yup. Works. My freaking fitting is deep enough into the pipe that this didn't reach it 😭.. Im gonna have to cut the pipe just about half inch 😭
Great information and thank you for sharing it, But now how to take that ring off of my tool? 😆
Does this work with 3/8 copper pipe??
Now how do I remove the feral from the metal piece ?
What do you do if nut keeps turning
My inner piece doesnt stick into the copper and the tool was so long it pierced the other side of the copper, now i have a real big issue all i wanted was a bidet with hot water 😢
oil/solution to make job easier?
Do you throw out the silver piece and buy new one for every compression sleeve?
Keep the silver piece. I know it can be a pain to get the copper compression ring off.
@@nhanson1911 any tip how to take it off?
@@diyer9388 Honestly? I hit the thing on a hard flat surface on two sides.
You know how you open a jar with a lid that won’t come off because it’s too tight? People tap the lid with another hard object?
Same concept. The compression ring is copper the “silver piece” is harder than the compression ring. Once you loosen the hold of the copper ring it will come off.
ok...now do we need another tool to get the ferrule off this tool?....lol :) I'm literally at this step.
Thanks for this video posting, the package documentation is crap.
what happens if the insert doesnt fit into copper tubing
Mine does fit either
I put the silver piece up to the pipe without the gold turn it then the silver piece went in. The i unscrewed put the gold piece back on and it worked
@@nlvassassin Great tip. Thought I might have to put some sandpaper inside the copper pipe and twist it around to increase the pipe’s interior diameter (to allow the silver piece to fit in the pipe). But figured I’d check the comments first. NLV ASSASSIN had the answer. Worked like a charm for me.
Obviously, this tool will not work if the ferrule is stuck on too far from the end of the pipe, causing the Compression Fitting to be so far from the tool's Puller Adapter (knurled brass piece) that the respective threads can never engage for the pull.
YES! What do you do in that case? I was so excited when I found this video but I'm stumped because this is exactly what I'm dealing with now. Please tell me you figured it out!
Then cut a small piece of tube off in front of the ferrule so that the tool reaches the ferrule.
👍🏻
This tool only works with copper it does not work with cpvc because the spacer doesn’t fit inside the cpvc.
Spinning
Damn I was using it wrong
Husky plumbing tools are awful. Just buy RIDGID or a good brand. If hiring a plumber is $100, why try to save a few dollars with cheap tools? Anyways, the major issue with this design is if the compression angle stop has damaged threads or is nonstandard threading (I have seen it before) this tool will not work.
if you're smart,just put the new valve on,tighten it,run away.
Absolute junk. It got stuck on the faucet stem. HD no help
Wear working gloves or your hand get hurt.
I got that tool but now I need another puller to pull out the ring from the insert 😂😂
The Husky tool didn't work for me. The compression sleeve was too far up the copper pipe. The brass puller adapter that screws into the compression nut wasn't deep enough. That silver insert peg that fits into the brass puller adapter is too long. The Husky tool is a piece of shit. I don't recommend buying it.
