    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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?

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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
