DURATECH Internal Pipe Wrench Set, Pipe Nipple Extractor Set, 3-Piece, 3/8",1/2" and 3/4" Pipe Capacities, Organizer Pouch Included

The pipe to the shower head broke off behind the wall. Thought I was going to have to open the wall to fix it. Tried this tool and it worked amazingly well. Had the broken piece out and the shower repaired in minutes not hours or days. Best $15 tool EVER.

Nice tool, pretty handy and reliable!

Worked perfectly for me, if you don't how to use it than it won't work. haha

Used a workaround on the 1/2 inch with brass nipple. Bought this to remove 1/2 inch brass stub outs before plastering. Tried all the sizes in galv water pipe nipples and all worked OK, but the 1/2 inch failed on a brass nipple. tried on different 1/2 inch brass nipples from dif mfgrs and none worked. A brass nipple ID is about 1/16 inch larger than the galvanized nipple. However, by using a shim on the long tooth section of the tool, it worked. This set ALMOST matches the OD of a set I have that is 40 years old, but is about 1/32 smaller for the 1/2 inch tool. Other vendor's sets are actually smaller OD and did NOT work at all. Seems to be an issue with 1/2 inch pipes. If the Duratech1/2 inch tool were about 1/32 inch bigger, it probably would work with no shim. These tools definitely seem to be finicky when it comes to the 1/2 inch size and getting the cam action design correct.

Testing on 3/8 and 1/2in nipples, the tools would not fit any brass or copper pipe, and wouldn't fit a few iron ones as well. Even with chamfering the pipe entrance, the tool would not fit. Sometimes the main part of the tool wouldn't go it, and sometimes the main part would and the cam section would not. If your need is for brass and copper pipes, this tool isn't a good fit. And know that it might not work on some iron pipes either.

Easy to use. I was going to have to reverse thread an inside pipe that broke off in order to get a bolt or something to spin it out. I tried making a key out of copper to fit the broken piece, I tried everything; but these pipe wrenches got the corroded inner pipe right out. New shower valves all the way around. I did not get grip, and keep turning. I got grip, and pulsed my strength a little to wiggle it out in different angles. When I went for it about the 3rd-4th time it turned right out. I heard these wrenches have the possibility of breaking or cracking the outer pipe. Luckily it did not for me.

Did not work - could not get the inner broken thread out. Failed 3 times. Ordered alternative product instead that finally did the job - PANOVOS Pipe Screw Extractor Set - I recommend THAT one!

I was able to remove a broken shower pipe nipple with this tool. It was my last resort before having to call a professional plumber and was able to remove it with this tool. Before discovering this tool i had previously tries the Husky pipe removal tools from Home Depot but they were of no use.
