This product really works. I have used it three times with success each time. First: it did not crush the 1/2 inch copper pipe that I used it on. Second: it is well built. It does not bend or get twisted out of shape when you use it. Third: it does not take much effort to use it. The "silver' handle that you turn is long enough that you can twist it fairly easily. You don't have to be a gorilla to use this tool successfully. Fourth: the handle that you turn is a "slider." It will move back and forth through a pivot point in the center of the tool. This is very useful if you are using it on a stop valve that is close to the floor. The handle will not bang into the floor. It is similar to the sliding handle on a professional vise. Before I used it, I put a drop of oil on the outlet side of the ferrule to help it slide off. Having used the tool, I don't think that the oil was necessary. I originally thought that this puller was made to pull the ferrule off, so I hooked it on the pipe between the ferrule and the nut. That was my mistake. The tool will not work this way. It is made to apply pressure to the back side of the nut which will pull the ferrule off. That is a good design. Keep in mind that this tool is used to remove a compression fitting. When the ferrule is removed, the 1/2 inch copper tubing will be slightly compressed where the ferrule was, and there is nothing you can do about that. This is a marvelous tool that I have not seen in the local home center stores. When I was young and stupid, I would cut the ferrules off using a rotary tool like a dremel tool with a small fiberglass cutoff wheel. That took forever. I am sure other people have tried using a hack saw to do the same thing.

So far, this one works very well. My previous one did not work as well and did not last very long. It was a different brand but same design. I am very happy with this one!

This tool was amazing. I installed two Moen bathroom fixtures in the master bathroom to replace two 1989 fixtures. The supply valves were those cheap combination valve/supply line deals with the round plastic knobs. Green corrosion was leaking from them, too. Obviously, I had to, not only replace the fixtures (pretty easy, actually), but also replace the old supply valves and lines. This removal tool worked wonderfully to remove the brass ferrules. Just make sure you place the back sleeve "behind" the ferrule tightening nut--not the ferrule--and start turning the handle. I also took a bit of Emory cloth to the pipe end, and wiped a small amount of WD-40 on the copper pipe to aid the ferrule in slipping off the pipe. There was very little corrosion there, but I wanted a smooth ferrule removal. All four pipes were not damaged in the least. Just hook this baby on, turn the handle round, and make sure the screw end is seated properly in the pipe, then keep turning until the nut and ferrule slips off. Takes about ten turns. When done, I replaced the old plastic valves with 1/4 turn compression angle valves and new flexible stainless steel braided supply lines. Before installing the new compression valves, I felt along the pipe, lightly sanded the last two inches, then put on the nut and ferrule (I also dab a little pipe dope on the ferrule, which is an old plumber's trick). When tightening the valve body on, press and keep light pressure on the valve while hand tightening the nut until it stops. Tighten only 1/4 to 1/2 turn using the wrenches, after this hand tightening. If it ends up leaking, only tighten a little more. Do NOT overtighten.

I did it! I removed a ferrule (copper compression ring) that was very determined to stay put on the copper water supply to the toilet. The handle was too small to apply enough torque, so I used an 18" sprinkler metal pipe to extend the end I cranked on. It was a tight fit between the toilet and the wall. It took me over 30 minutes in small spurts to finally get it off, but I did! Turns out the copper pipe was damaged on the end and I had to hire a plumber to finish the job. When he came back the next day for something else he said he's been telling everyone how little ol' lady was able to get a really tough job done by herself!
