Our Review
This copper olive removal tool addresses a real pain point in compression fitting work. The dual-sized design accommodates both 15mm and 22mm olives, eliminating the need for separate tools on mixed plumbing jobs. The solid copper construction resists corrosion and won't damage delicate brass fittings—critical when working on existing systems where you're replacing compromised seals. The compact profile fits tight under-sink spaces where standard wrenches fail. However, it's purely manual, requiring consistent hand pressure and technique to seat properly without slipping. The tool delivers reliable results for maintenance and DIY repairs rather than heavy commercial applications, making it ideal for homeowners tackling their own repiping or a tradesman's backup solution.
What We Like
- Solid copper head won't mar or scratch brass compression fittings during olive removal
- Compact design fits tight spaces under sinks and behind appliances
- Dual-sized capability handles both 15mm and 22mm olives without tool swapping
Watch Out For
- Manual operation requires significant hand torque and consistent pressure—fatiguing on larger jobs
- No leverage mechanism; effectiveness depends heavily on user technique and fitting access
The Verdict
“A practical, affordable single-purpose tool that excels for DIY plumbing maintenance and occasional professional touch-ups on compression fittings, though limited to lighter-duty applications.”
