Compression Sleeve Puller Tool Remove Nut & Ferrule Of Pipe 03943, Sleeve Remover For 1/2” Compression Fittings Only, Corroded & Frozen Supply Stops, Plumbing Tools Compression Ring Removal Tool

I usually just cut the copper pipe behind the compression sleeve to replace it but I didn’t have enough pipe available to do that. I tried to use the old nut and sleeve to replace the shutoff but it leaked. I ordered this and it removed the old nut and sleeve. The shut off is installed without leaks. This puller worked great and easy to use.

This product worked perfectly and made the removal of the compression sleeve easy!

Great quality and it works pretty good but you have to do a lot of fiddle factor to get that brass compression sleeve off.Possibly consider one of those shaped like a little clamp next time

Made well.Priced ok.Used it several times, works well and has made my job easier.

I wanted to replace the angle/straight stops in my bathrooms (master and hallway sinks, and toilets); 8 in total. I wanted a better way of removing the compression rings, instead of cutting the ring or trying to use channel lock pliers and twisting the ring (to see if it would even come off).I know some of my co-workers would just cut the pipe behind the compression ring, but that will not work if you do not have a lot of excess pipe. So I discovered these types of tools. I then looked to see which tool had the better reviews. I know there are some reviews for this type of tool, and they complain about it breaking the tool or damaging the pipe. So I ordered the one tool (this tool) that had the best reviews.Well, I tackled the project and I have no complaints. The tool feels solid and works as it should. Some of the compression rings were tighter than others, but this did the job. Thank you. Almost makes me want to buy this tool for my co-workers, so they have a better way of replacing the angle stops.P.S. Why only "almost" to buy this tool for my co-workers? Because they are co-workers and they make their own darn money. But I might still buy the tool for them, just because it is that good.

Very well designed and made. Shipped quickly. Reasonably priced. Better than big box store versions. Easy to use. Couldn’t have change three valves without this tool.

I've been swapping out the multi-turn angle stops in my house for the 1/4 turn ones. If you do this, one of the first things you'll discover is that, in my case, the old valves are over 20 years old and the ferrule is always stuck on tight. Easy enough to remove the valve but the old ferrule and nut remain on the pipe.This tool makes old ferrule removal a breeze. Just keep twisting the handle until you get the job done. This works amazingly well and I"m very happy with it.UPDATE: couple of real-world issues:1. Had one ferrule that was crushed too tightly on the pipe. Tell tale sign is that it is very difficult to turn from the beginning until the end. Under normal usage, there may be a short period of tightness, but mostly it just endless turning.End result is that the ferrule compressed the copper pipe diameter on its way out. Now the pipe was too skinny for the new ferrule and leaked. Ended up having to cut the pipe to get to the section of pipe with normal thickness. Thankfully there was enough pipe sticking out of the wall.2. I had multi-turn galvanized, garden hose angle valves for the laundry. Even though the pipe was 1/2 inch, the nut was slightly too large and could not be tightened onto this tool. They do sell a different type of puller that grabs around the nut versus this threaded one. So that one is the type to buy if you have larger nuts.Ended up using a multitool to saw through the nut and the ferrule. Just go slow and carefully. Now my whole house is 1/4 turn valves.

Great tool with one serious limitation, not all valves use the same threads per inch. Tool will work with the majority but not all.
