Been removing ferrules for 60 years....First.time I have seen the removal tool...Thanks Jane! God Bless You & God Bless America
Leah, you are the coolest teacher on the web! Thanks for these great videos.
+1000buffalos thank you very much!
I just ordered one! I did some more reading and it does do both, coarse and fine threads. I run into all kinds of weird stuff with my handyman biz. Owning this tool will certainly take some stress off my mind next time I get a service call for angle stop replacement. Because it is stressful being a small business owner and only having yourself to rely on. I can’t just call another coworker if I don’t have the correct tool to perform a repair. And I can’t risk doing a repair that isn’t done correctly. I’m so happy I watched your vid for this tool.
Thank you for making this vid Leah.
I gotta say you deserve almost 900k subscriber's. Your videos and presentations are so helpful and informative. One of the top channels on you tube as far as I'm concerned. Please don't stop and keep them coming for years to come.
I ordered this tool Oct 12 after watching this video and received it Oct 17. I have purchased special tools in the past only to have them fail to work. This little gem worked as easily and effectively as advertised. I’m so glad I have this in my tool box.
This products works! A stuck ferrule put the breaks on my plumbing project. Ordered one of these and it arrived 1 week later. Worked flawlessly. Vastly superior than the ones they sell at the box stores. Not only does it have a superior design, but it is small enough to work in cramped quarters. No need to cut the copper pipe or hacksaw through the ferrule. I highly recommend. Thanks for sharing information on this great tool.
After multiple trips to the hardware store found this video. Ordered this from amazon since my computer would not let me get to the link for some reason. I ordered it late on a Saturday evening and got it Sunday morning. Well worth what I had to pay to get it quickly. Worked like a charm. Thank you for sharing your skills. I never thought I would get so excited about a tool. We were dealing with two leaking shut off valves that had been on for 15 years. This tool was the only one that worked to remove the ferrule. Quick and easy.
+Child Of God Awesome! I'm glad you found the tool and that it did the trick!
Thank you, Leah!!!! I got one of these and it worked amazingly well. Highly recommended. The pipe was deformed slightly so I cut off a small bit, about 1/4" at the end. This meant that the new ferrule wasn't sitting where the old one was. It was deformed because the handyman I used to hire never wanted to take off the old ferrule, so just cranked down hard on the old one. Using the new, improved way with this tool, it should be easy to replace the valves again once they start to leak.
I wanted to update everyone I ordered one of these two weeks ago it came last night. Great product. It is not like Amazon or eBay he did not send any shipping info it just showed up. I used PayPal to pay so I had no worries as this was my first purchase from this vendor.
Fantastic video! I had to change two compression valves last week, and I was racking my brain trying to imagine what I was going to do if the ferrules wouldn°t come off. Luckily they both slid right off, but with this ferrule puller, I will stress no more!!!! Thank you so much Leah, your videos are always so helpful!
I immediately ordered this tool today when I saw this video. It was a no brainer thing to do. Thanks for the video and link to the product.
🤦🏾♀️ Auntie Leah! I found this video AFTER I got into a 20 minute wrestling match with an old ferrule in the upstairs bathroom. I won, but not before I damaged the pipe. Thankfully, I have your other valve replacement video that taught me buy the small pipe cutter. 😁 I CAN DO THIS!
Received tool this week. Used first time today. Seemed to work as advertised to remove ferrule, however once tool was remove, and old nut and ferrule removed, I couldn’t get the tool to thread back to it’s original position. It felt as if the threads were stripping and or galling. There were small metal chips coming off the threads. Attempting to contact English Tool Company for resolution.
Leah.... Awesome explanation and example of how to remove ferrule ring!!!!! I appreciate the way you detail step by step logical removal of the ferrule! Beginners need the details broken down to lowest common denominator!!!! Thank You!!!!
The 2 "cheaper" tools - called compression sleeve puller, are (1) Husky Faucet & Compression Sleeve puller from Home Depot $11 + tax + gas, and (2) Superior Tools Compression Sleeve Puller for about $12 + shipping (usually $17-$18 all-in). The Husky (HD) is versatile & can also pull old faucet knobs from the valve tower, but is clumsier to use because of "wing grabs" that get in the way . The Superior Tools is a dedicated sleeve puller. Both ONLY work with 1/2" inlet pipe (most common), uses similar parts to screw into the old FEMALE collar to pull out, and MUST turn CLOCKWISE to pull out collar & old brass ferrule. BOTH are also clumsy to work with if the stub pipe is very short, and the Toilet is blocking access, or under the kitchen sink. Both use a t-bar handle to turn; perfectly OK if the inlet water pipe faces you, but can be very cumbersome under the kitchen sink (with drain pipes blocking access), or if the water pipe runs parallel to the wall to allow another valve for a dishwasher. It can be more complicated than Leah/Jane described.
In my case, the previous (plumber) severely over-tightened the compression sleeve, and the ferrule cut into the inlet pipe -- no way to get the old parts out without a tool like a puller, or a Dremel to cut off the collar & ferrule, risking damage to the inlet pipe. In my house, it takes 15-minutes for the water to drain after shutting off water, and I had to crawl between the toilet & shower door to access the valve. Then I found the the compression collar was way over-tightened. Lots of cursing & cussing, and it took me over a hour. Once I started removing the old valve, the old compression fitting can't be re-tightened, so I had to finish the replacement.
Also, in another video, Leah/Jane describes the 2 type of water shutoff valve -- use the Quarter turn ones - they have a ball valve that lasts longer than the rubber gasket/seal (multi-turn gate type) which the rubber will deteriorate and not close entirely. A plumber who uses the multi-turn valve is saving $1 on parts and causing more problems for you in the future.
Fantastic! I spend half of this afternoon pulling a pair old ferrules off the end of a washing machine cold and hot water faucet fill pipes. I got the project done but this great tool would have saved me a lot of time and aggrevation. I watched your video and immediately knew I had to have one so I just placed my order. Thank you SO much!
+Bob Stevenson you're welcome, Bob, glad to be of help!
Great video. After your tip, I found this at Home Depot. It didn't work as smoothly as your tool but it still worked!
Outstanding! Thanks for the info on that sleeve puller and showing how it works. It will fix my leak problem. All these years and I didn't know there was such a tool or how to remove the ferrule.
If you have enough pipe behind where the ferrule is then you could've always cut the pipe
Leah, thanks for the info on this tool. The ones at the hardware stores are impossible to use in my case. They are much to big for use under my kitchen sink. Bought one of these from English Tool and it worked great.
Wow, that's awesome. I am working in a really tight place (toilet shutoff valve). For a quick fix I reused the old compression nut/ring. I'm going to order one of these ferrule pullers. I have old fixtures throughout the house so I think it will come in handy. Thanks for the video
Leah is such a good teacher that once I listen to her, I turn pro almost instantaneously. Perhaps you need to start a Handyman's Skills school or something like that. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your video. It was extremely helpful and much appreciated ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
Wow. Another great education from Leah! I never even heard of a ferrule and that short video has shown me not only what it is, but that when you have to fix a leak that is associated with a shut off valve, I'm going to need this tool! One more thing I've listed that I will get to add to my tool box. Thanks so much Leah! Looking forward to the next one...getting ready to look at "how to fix pipes" because I've just discovered a slow leak under my kitchen sink! You are the best teacher ever!
Hannah Brown Thanks, Hannah! :)
Not having time to go look for this tool, I made one from one of the old angle stop valves I was replacing. I just removed the screw to take off the handle, then drilled a 13/64 (or #7) hole right through the old valve at the axis, from the pipe side and out through the valve stem. Then I threaded the hole with a 1/4-20 tap. The guts of the old valve and valve stem are plastic, so very easy to tap. I used a 3 inch long quarter-inch diameter hex bolt where the handle had been - with the bolt head working the same as the wrench end of the tool in the video. Then for the disc end I used another bolt (1 inch long) with a washer. The head of the short bolt sits against the tip of the long bolt, and the threaded end of the short bolt sits freely in the copper pipe. This way, the force is transferred from the threaded end of the long bolt, through the head of the short bolt, and on to the washer which pushes against the end of the copper pipe. I found the 1/4 inch washer is just the right size to fit in the valve body.
Today I replaced five 30-year-old angle stop valves in my house using the tool I made. The plastic held up totally fine. I did use a new 1/4 inch metal washer each time, because they deformed from the pressure. For one of the pipes, I had to cut 1/8 inch off the end of the pipe to get the tool to fit.
Thank you so much for your demonstration, Leah. I hope this idea helps out someone who is having a hard time getting that tool, needs one during closed hours, or is looking to save some cash.
After watching this video I purchased the tool and have used it to remove several stuck ferrules. It works so well I can't imagine not having it. Using a socket wrench makes it that much easier, too. Thanks!
you're welcome, and yes, it does work very well!
Hi Leah, I've never done any kind of plumbing before. I live in a house built in the late 70's in an area with extremely hard water. I'm starting to get sticking valves, old gate valves I believe, and I needed to replace one going to the toilet. I purchased this tool after watching this video a while back and finally got the time to attempt the repair. I personally believe that this was an original valve. It was pretty difficult to get the ferrule off. It's funny, I thought I was doing something wrong as it was so hard, then I removed the tool just to have a look and the ferrule was at the end of the pipe, put the tool back on, and it came off the rest of the way really easy, go figure. I wasn't sure if I messed up the pipe as the new ferrule was kind of loose when I slid it on, but everything tightened up and no leaks. It ought to prove interesting when I go to do some of the ones under the sinks. They are all starting to freeze up. Can you just force them to close?
You can find various similar tools at big box stores or Amazon, sometimes combined with a faucet handle puller. Search for compression sleeve puller. The one demonstrated here is more compact but I don't know if I would trust the website as it is not secure according to Google.
I'm here to tell you. when you have one of those mothers stuck this tool is a life saver. I didn't know there was such a thing until I had to call a plumber. My advice is invest in one of these if you haven't already. they are worth every penny. Not having one of these costed me about 200.00 on a Saturday. I now have a couple different styles but this particular one will get you into a tight space
Leah, you are a life saver! Thanks so much for this video! I have a water leak in my bathroom that I've been trying to fix for weeks. Not only did this video teach me how to do it, you also taught me the names of the pieces! I can finally go to Home Depot and ask for a piece without sounding like a clueless princess!
Thank you so much 🤍🙏🏼
I got the compression remover tool very quickly from the old English company. It was worth every penny. I have a single shut off valve under my kitchen sink with two lines. Instead I bought a dual shut off valve, one which can go to the dishwasher and my the other one to the hot water on my faucet in my kitchen. I cannot believe how hard and how tight the brass sleeve was on the Copper pipe. It was hard to remove the sleeve even with the tool! There is no way I could’ve removed the old valve without this tool. Now I removed it I’m getting ready to put a new dual shut off valve on. I was so afraid of the copper leaking behind the wall or something. I can’t tell you how relieved I am I got this far, I will finish it up and then tomorrow I get a new dishwasher put in. This saved me so much money for a plumber coming to do a new valve. I decided to pay to have someone install the dishwasher because it is 50 steps in the manual and I decided it was a little more than I wanted to handle. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This 65 year-old lady can do it. I was not in a position to afford a plumber coming to do all the work. I already had fixed my old dishwasher 3 times myself. Be blessed.
Your plumbing videos are very helpful! Thank you!
thanks!
Thanks for reposting this video. I am working on getting a stuck ferrule off.
Jane, if there was one person on youtube that I could have live next door to me, it would be you. South Florida is really nice this time of year! LOL. I would have clicked the link but I read some are having issues with the company so I ordered something similar from Amazon although not as compact but doesn't need a wrench, it has a t-bat handle.
I am heading to Coral Springs next week
Leah, you totally saved my bacon more than once! Thank you so much for all you do. I know that when I watch one of your videos, I'm going to get good, RELIABLE info. You're the best!
Thank you so very much for AAAALL of your handy and very helpful videos!!!
Ifollowed your instructions to replace my shut off valve / toilet fill valve in another video, right up until my ferrule was stuck and refused to budge from it’s position on the very short brass pipe exiting the bathroom wall like there was no tomorrow. I did not dare just cut the pipe with my pipe cutter because I was certain I would not have the space to install the replacement valve on what would remain.
I bought the closest thing to emery cloth available after the big boxed stores and auto parts stores were already closed. It was an abrasive “sponge” more like a very abrasive scrubby pad, from Walmart intended for car paint primer, at something like a 400 grit. I clamped on the abrasive scrubber with my generic vice grips (a curved locking pliers from, you guessed it, Walmart) and spent a solid 2 hours spinning the grit around and around the copper pipe trying to break that ferrule loose. NO luck! So I finally broke down and found this video and when the supplier linked was not able to get me a tool to break loose this ferrule by tomorrow (today now!) I finally found something similar on Amazon, and ordered 3 such tools from different vendors, that were supposed to be here by 6 pm. But I was too stressed and not able to sleep and so I kept creeping into the bathroom in intervals quietly spinning the abrasive around the brass pipe and using the abrasive as a padding between the piers and the ferrule trying to get the bugger to let go of my brass pipe. I was able to spin it in a circle but not able to get it past the 3/4 inch from the end of the pipe. After spending no less than 4 hours closer to 5 twisting the ferrule and the scrubby thingy with my pliers around and around, on and off, taking breaks and still unable to sleep coming back to the task at hand, persisting in the tedious efforts to remove this one stubborn ferrule! But on hour 5 I actually got the blasted thing loose!
I am so appreciative for your videos I can not find the words! I have canceled the Amazon order too! HahHa
Thank you so very much for AAAALL of your handy and very helpful videos!!!
Bought an older home last May and will be doing some plumbing when it gets warmer. It's been a while since I've done a lot of plumbing so it's great so see this video. I'll keep it in mind for future reference. Great posts! Keep up the good work!
***** Thanks, Deb! :)
Thank you Leah. Tremendous videos as always
FANTASTIC, ingenious tool. I wish I had one when I replaced my first shut off valve.
I didn’t know what I was up against, and didn’t know how the compression valve worked, so I muscled the ferrule off. It was UGLY, lol.
I wish I knew about your video! Thank you for your important work, Leah!
Ben
I can't get the compression ring off from under my sink and the pipe is flush with the wall which makes it even harder. So idk how I'm going to do it without cutting into wall
If anyone knows how to get it off without cutting in the wall I would love to know. Its driving me insane
Great idea! Thanks. I've always used channel locks to grip and twist the ferrule off. It has always worked pretty good for me but you have to be careful not to slip off the ferrule and damage the tubing. I'll look for the puller at the supply store next time I go.
I just ordered this tool. Received it in 3 days. Awesome!
I have four valves to replace, and this tool will help me get the work done.
Thanks for your recommendation.
Where did you order it from?
Where did you order from?
Ha! I had that very problem today, Leah. Wish I had the English tool...Amazon , here I come....excellent video.
I've done almost all my own home fixin and have learned from hands-on experience's but have also learned a easier way, From watching your Videos, very informative, Thank you, keep up the great videos
+Koi 1971 you're welcome, Koi, and thanks!
This is a simple tool to remove a ferrule. It is much superior to all the methods I've googled. Thanks for sharing.
🙂
I just bought this and I can say that it works really well.
I bought this tool due to this video. It has worked great! I have used it over 10 times. Makes it super easy. Worth every penny!!!
I'll keep an eye for a sleeve puller in the future.
Thanks, Leah
Jim Power You're welcome, Jim!
i love your videos. Your explanations are always clear and precise.
+Gunluvver2 thanks!
I love that video and that is nice to know about that ferrule. That tool seems to make it so easy to remove the ferrule. I thank you for that tip and the information on where to get that tool.
Sidney Mathious You're welcome, Sidney, and thank you for commenting! :)
I had to change that one of these just the other day God bless you today Sidney Mathious
Thanks for the video. I find your explanations helpful and easy to understand
you're very welcome, and thanks for watching!
Hi Jane, after first making contact with the company that makes and sells this tool, I have tried numerous times to secure a purchase but they have been non-responsive to my requests for same. You are one of the fortunate ones to have this neat tool,
Hi Brian, I am really sorry . This video is almost 4 years old, and for a couple of years, people had no problem getting the tool from the vendor. But recently that seems to have changed. I have also tried to contact the company on behalf of other viewers who tried to order the tool, and I was also unable to make contact with them.
I love your videos Leah. I always learn something.
sullee Thanks, sullee, I'm glad!
Nice video and great tool. It's also worth noting that it's easy on a wide open wall, with a shiny new angle stop and clean copper pipe. Try that in a cramped space, poor lighting, on an old rusted pipe, either copper or, even worse, galvanized. I had to do one today and used a larger, more cumbersome puller with a clamp that tightens around the compression nut/ferrule combo and has 2 ways to pull. One way is a slap hammer weighted piece that you use to strike the rod and pull out the nut. The other way is a hex driven screw mechanism that pushes against the pipe, while the clamp pulls.
I wish I find your video last week when replacing my valves, I watch few youtube videos and they do help but not as easy with your tool. My mistake was I didn't know it is call the "FERRULE" and I searched "remove compression ring" Anyway I need this tool for future plumbing work. THANK YOU for intro this tool.
compression ring is another name. Old school plumbers call them olives.
That’s amazing. I reused my existing ferrule by wrapping plumbers tape around it, a tip you taught me in another video. You have been so helpful!
I ordered the sleeve puller from English Co and they shipped within two days of the order being placed. I also have the Home Depot sleeve puller but needed this smaller version for tight spaces like the water line for my fridge.
That's a great tool. Thanks for the update.
Great videos! Educational and right to the point, well done!
🙂
I needed this today! No hardware store has these in stock! I ended up cutting the 3/8" pipe and used pliers to back off the 1/2" Ferrell, time consuming! Your instructional videos have helped me so much! Thank you.
Same thing happened to me last night, had to cut. That wasn't my first rodeo. Once, I knew I wouldn't have enough pipe and busted the wall to see if I could get enough pipe to work with, then cut the pipe, did the job, then repaired the wall.
Now this tool has been ordered.
Thanks for the tip! I had no idea what to do, 5 min trip to Ace hardware, problem solved! My old corroded ferrule came off in less than 10 seconds. I couldn't believe it.
Thank you for the demonstration it is very helpful!!!
Another informative video, Thanks Jane!
+Dede Warren you're welcome, Dede!
Great job! Got to get me one of those! Keep up the great work!
+BobsPlumbingVideos thank you, Bob, I appreciate it!
First time I have seen this. It is like a steering wheel puller for a car! Thanks. Hope I can find one for my spouse who is in charge of our plumbing.
Just order from the link that is provided in the above description.
This is really a genuinely genius sleeve puller hahah!! Im gonna buy one from ASAP
:)
You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you very good tool worked very well
the tool pays for itself
Hi Leah I hope you’re doing okay. I saw on my feed that you were going thru something and we are all hoping you’re okay.
I have a question about this puller if you have time.. will this puller thread into both coarse thread and fine thread compression nuts?
Sometimes I run into one of the odd ball compression nuts and it’s getting harder to find those angel stops at Lowe’s and Home Depot. A couple years ago they carried both, so if I ran into one that was the odd type I’d just buy both types of angel stops and reuse the nut and the ferrule and off I’d go. But now the big box stores are only carrying the most common threaded ones.
Thank you again Leah.
Great info , thanks Leah.
Great video. I used it to tackle my toilet. I swapped out the supply line and shutoff valve. The English Tool product was too pricey for me. I found the Superior Tool Compression sleeve puller, which can be found on ebay or amazon ($17-20) and does the same thing. Keep up the good work with your videos Leah.
thanks!
Nice and compact tool. I had a situation that tool won't work due to the odd ball compression nut. Of all things that nut had a different thread, never happened before. Had to use a puller with the hooks that goes behind the nut like a gear puller. Most of the time leak is due to a bad rubber washer that could be replaced but most people just replace the whole shutoff valve.
Hi Leah. Great and instructional video. You are such an awesome teacher. I have two ideas that might be helpful. Can you please explain the purpose of the items your describing in your videos. (i.e. 'what does a ferrule do and why should I remove/replace it?). Also, a box wrench might help save time and repetitive movements if there is room to spin the wrench around the nut. Your videos are real confidence builders. Cheers!
So is it OK to install a new compression valve with a new ferrule onto that pipe just as it is? Or is it damaged from the ferrule that was removed? What steps to put on the new valve without cutting the pipe off?
I needed this today . I just installed a Bathroom faucet. I am gonna get this tool now. :)
The inside rim of the water shut-off valve nut is tapered where it make contact with the ferrule. This causes the nut to compress the ferule when the puller is used which makes it even harder to remove. The puller may also distort the tip of the copper pipe making it even harder still to remove the ferrule. Your puller will work about half the time and even less if the pipe and ferrule is old. You need a ferrule cutter tool.
This ferrule puller is so nice; I bought one from Amazon right after I saw this video three years ago. This puller is small and can work anywhere. Another puller (the Pasco 4661) is quite large by comparison, and won't work in some spaces because of its size. Although Leah didn't mention it, the brass ferrule should be removed and replaced every time you install a new shut-off valve. The reason is that the ferrule may be so compressed/disturbed that it will no longer provide a water-tight seal. The manufacturer supplies a ferrule with each new shut-off valve.
One other note: Instead of using a combination wrench to back off the compression sleeve, you can use a socket (1/2") with a 3/8-drive stubby ratchet. This will aid in removal where space is restricted, which is often the case around the supply pipe for a toilet.
Great video as always Leah. I use the Pasco 4661 myself it's cheaper but sometimes takes a lot of force to turn it, when the ferrule is frozen on there assuming of course I was doing it correctly lol.
I think this tool may be better, albeit more expensive.
Thank you, Leah!!! This video just saved my boyfriend and I from calling a plumber!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Forget your wrench to get the copper olive off. I used my Makita impact driver on high and it pulls the olive off in seconds. I highly recommend it. The olive puller is strong enough to withstand the impact driver.
Thank you again for the great instruction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could have used that today!
Thank you for sharing!
I had to carefully saw one off today. Wish I had one of those.
Great video as always.Thank you
John Wilson You're welcome, John! :)
Great video and tool!! You have some really good videos. I could have used one of these tools last week. The copper pipe stuck out just a bit too much from the original ferrule and it leaked so all I could do was cut it off. Wish there was also a tool to cut/grind off about 1/8" off the end other than a dremel. A pipe cutter with the rollers on it can't cut close to the ferrule. Don't do this for a living so the tool is a bit pricey.
big hug, Leah! I've always dreaded working under sinks cutting those stupid things off. just hope the earlier pretend Plumber didn't grind the nut down fusing the ferrule to the pipe!
🙂
Great tool. Thanks for posting!
you're very welcome!
this was so helpful, thanks
I love the video, I was going to order one but I also want one for 3/4" pipe, do you know if they are available ??
Thanks again for the video..
leah--- thank you for showing. I like watching your video :)
You're welcome Jenny
Is that recessed disk held in by a c-clip free to spin or is it stationary on the bolt it's attached to?
Does this work on CPVC pipes?
For ppl familiar with bikes, this tool is a variation of a "cotterless crank puller" and if the treads r the same? It could be used in place of this tool with a washer the size of the copper pipe. And the only 1 concern using is that the pressure on the copper pipe from the washer could deform it if its soft copper.
FANTASTIC VIDEOS ! A big THANKS !
:)
Hi.... will a plastic compression sleeve hold pressure on a supply of 3/4 pex pipe? This is domestic hot water and a transition from threadless Galvanized to pex pipe..... thanks!
thank you Leah
Thanks for so much information Lia u the best...
Leah you should take over the job for Dr Ruth with the way you're so detailed with your explanations. Then when you finish explaining the merits of silicone based personal lubricants vs water based you can finish off by saying "remember you can do this"!
Awesome tool ! so worth the $$. Made the compression sleeve puller go to the bottom of my tool box.
:)
Now I cannot get the new ferrule and nut to stay on the copper pipe. The pipe has been compressed so much, the new ferrule slides off. How do I get it to stay on?
I cut the pipe back an inch and installed the new ferrule and nut after watching your other video. Thanks again!
Hi Leah,
You should give the Saf-T-Kut compression ring splitter a try. I've been using it for over a year now and it works even faster than a puller.
Dave
+DIYDave Hello Dave, I'll check it out and let you know.
Hi Leah I like very much your videos. where I can buy the ferrule tool. Can you tell me.
Excellent tool and excellent video! :)
thanks!
I bought the tool and it works great!
nice!
Excellent. Good job
