For the water line compression ring removal process: I concur with others here in that had I seen your video first, I could have saved an (embarrassing) added hour of frustrating labor dealing with those wing extensions which kept getting in the way. The instructions on the package say nothing about removing them first for this particular application. (This product has multiple applications.) So, like you, I found out the hard way. I hope you mentioned in your review to Husky that some tips about removing those wings (flanges) would sure be helpful. Should go without saying. Thanks a million.
Thanks for the video. Did this yesterday for the first time. (I was too stupid to remove the dangly things. 😅)The fitting was so tight I had to use a crescent wrench to turn the handle, but it did work. Then, once off the brass ferrule was stuck on the tool. Had to use vise grips and channel locks to get it off.
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 😢
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!
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.
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! 🎉
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! 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.
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!
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'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’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.
