“A solid, affordable olive extractor for DIY plumbing maintenance on typical residential fittings, though professional plumbers will want mechanical or hydraulic alternatives for seized connections.”
Our Review
The Olive Puller's dual-size design (15mm and 22mm) covers most residential compression fittings without needing multiple tools. The solid brass construction resists corrosion and won't damage chrome or brass olives, a critical advantage over steel extractors that can leave scoring marks. Ergonomics are modest—the red plastic handle provides adequate grip leverage, though extended use on seized fittings requires consistent hand pressure. For DIY plumbing maintenance and minor repairs, this tool performs adequately, cleanly removing olives without damaging ferrules. Build quality is straightforward; there's no complexity to fail, making it reliable for occasional home workshop use.

Watch Out For

The Verdict
