Superior ToolCompany 03943 Compression Sleeve Puller and Sleeve Remover for 1/2-Inch Compression Fittings Only

So far so good. The tool is not flimsy and has some weight to it. Worked like a charm. Was able to replace a 26-year toilet shut off valve with a quarter turn valve without problem. I did spray ring with WD40, not sure if it helped but it came off. I purchased a mini pipe cutter just in case but didn't have to use. No leaks so far.

I was about to tackle the task of changing 6 shut off valves and watched numerous YouTube videos to see what tools I needed or what issues I might come across. I’m a 42 year old female who has never had any kind of plumbing experience other than changing shower heads.After seeing there would be a compression sleeve that would be a little difficult to remove without a tool, I decided to buy this one (per recommendation from one of the videos I watched) even before I started. I was looking for something that would make it easy to remove without have to try to be careful and cut into it because I just KNOW I’d screw it up somehow.This tool did the trick! Super easy to use. The compression sleeve came off with ease. After sweating, huffing and puffing to remove the 25 year old rusted valves, this part of the process was the easiest. Just slip the tool into the pipe, screw the nut onto it and twist it off.I was also changing out my whole sink so I feel I gave myself more space to work with, but it still had plenty of room to do the job. Just be sure the pipe is 1/2” as it will only work for that size!Overall I’m super happy with this tool and feel it really helped me finish my project faster than I would have without it. I don’t think I’ll be needing it anytime in the future, but I’m glad I’ll have it in my toolbox ready for the next time I need to use it!

This product appears to be sturdy and well-made. Nicely designed for the purpose. It should perform as expected though I have not had an opportunity to use it yet.

We removed compression fitting saving us from opening the drywall up and patching it. Affordable good quality tool not found at my box stores. Should be part of any handymans Arsenal

I wanted to replace the compression valves in our bathroom with all oil rubbed bronze hardware and it was simply too expensive to have a plumber do it. I spent a lot of time on some DIY forums and was mostly told not to mess around with this stuff but I am glad I did.It was trivial pulling the old compression valves off our copper plumbing lines. You simply screw the threaded end of the device into the existing nut and then turn the handle until the brass or copper or whatever the compression ring is made of slides off. I used fine sandpaper to cleanup the pipe and slide the new ones on.I had my wife turn the main water supply line back on one-half turn at a time. One of my valves was leak free and one had a very minor drip which I easily resolved by turning the nut 1/4 turn until it stopped.This is a very nice quality tool for dirt cheap. Don’t be afraid to do the work yourself—it’s easy and you can do it! Just watch a few videos first and you should be all set.Good luck!

I removed several rings VERY smoothly. My original rings were not over tightened. First fully thread the tool into the rear compression nut. Next, I normally twist the t-handle until it becomes difficult to turn and then I pause. I then back off the t-handle a little until it becomes slightly loose. Next, I back off the rear compression nut a little and then retighten the tool using the t-handle until it becomes difficult to turn again. Again back-off the T-handle a bit and repeat after further loosening the compression nut until the compression ring eventually is pulled smoothly off the copper pipe. I avoid over tightening because this is where the t-handle or pipe may become damaged.When installing the new angle stop, I fully oil the new ring, compression ring, angle stop threads, and pipe with oil before tightening the nut at least a 3/4 turn past hand tight. I use two good size adjustable wrenches to complete this very firm/snug compression. Always fine sand pipe end before installing new angle stops.

I’ve used the bearing puller type all my life and it works great. Was looking at getting another one and saw this kizmo. I was like, why not. First time trying it I had to ream the inside of the copper pipe about 3 seconds to get it to fit better. After that it worked like a charm. Money well spent. Just wish I had invented this instead.

Works well , highly recommended, if you are a dyi don’t try this repairs unless you know what are you doing , watch videos , a mistake will cost you wayMore of what you want to save

Actually happy I've purchased this tool.It has so far done exactly what it's supposed to do

It was really easy to use and had the job done really quickly.

This works well, but I think in a professional setting you'd want something a little beefier. That said, it's much better than many of the other options I've seen and I've had no issue with it the times I've needed to use it.

This tool made removing a compression sleeve a charm! It took less that one minute and there is no risk of breaking the pipe like some other removal techniques out there. Highly recommend you wait and get this.
