Prime-Line RP77233 Adjustable Faucet Handle and Compression Sleeve Puller (Single Pack)

It was easy to use and got the job done. I tried every work around before resorting to this. One pry bar kept popping of. The trick is to turn slow and keep a grip on the pry bars so they don’t spread and pop off. $15 for this is a lot cheaper then a plumber

ME GUSTO

Could not remove a corroded on single handle to a phister faucet, so I bought this thing. Kind of awkward to use the arms to grab the faucet and to twist and pull up. Needed a solid flat washer inside the handle to create tension, otherwise the Long tensioning rod would slip through and strip the handle screw attachment point.

Good quality works great

Yes, I read the directions. Yes, I watched numerous videos on the process. But this version of a compression puller needs more tools (and extra hands) to function as designed. I ultimately gave up and left the old ferrule in place--thank God that worked, or I would have had another trip to the hardware store to finish the job. Avoid this like it was dripping with Covid.

I'm not quite sure how others are using this, but this tool worked on removing the compression sleeves for a sink in my 1964 home. I don't think I did anything special... just followed the instructions. 1. Insert the bit that goes into the pipe... into the pipe. 2. Insert the tool into the bit. 3. Clamp the jaws around the compression nut. 4. Start twisting the handle - this uses the nut to slide the compression sleeve off of the pipe... Regarding removing the sleeve from the bit afterwards: I mean, you used the tool to utilize the compression nut to slide the sleeve off... so you just flip the nut around and use it to slide it off the bit. I guess they didn't exactly outline that in the instructions but it seemed like common sense to me.

This tool did not work at all for me. I'm trying to remove a shower handle that has been in place for near 40 years. Needless to say, the corrosion is strong and the handle will not budge. After reading the instructions I installed the puller and managed to get it to tighten up. I worked very slowly to give it time to work. Suddenly there was a small "pop" and I thought i was done. Nope, the pop was my valve handle cracking. I can't blame the tool for that. My decades of corrosion was stronger than the handle metal. I stopped immediately since the handle was still perfectly functional. Removed the tool and tried to put the screw back in. Nope. Screw will not install. Threads in the valve stem are smashed. I think the pin diameter on this tool is too large (at least for my hardware) and the pressure mangled my stem threads. If I ever need to try this again, I would install a sacrificial Phillips head screw partially into the stem. As long as the screw is loose by a few turns, then there's room for the puller to work. Then I'd put the tool pin on that screw head when tightening the tool up. I'd rather mangle a spare screw than destroy valve stem threads. Looks like I'll be cutting the handle off with a Dremel after all.

Great buy
