You should tell some of these so called plumbers NOT to use Pipe Dope with a Ferrule.
Thank you greatly for this video. You really make DYI projects a piece of cake. Bless you.
100% agree, I’ve always reused the original one.
Hello young lady where can I buy either one of those tools that you just showed on this video I’ve never seen them before but I would like to have one of those in my assortment of tools so please let me know where you located that and may Jesus Christ of Nazareth bless you your family and friends in your channel and keep you safe and give you lots of prosperity amen.✝️✝️✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸
excellent video as usual.
I happen to be a plumber and by no means do I hate you. It is fantastic that you are showing folks how to do simple tasks on their own. I would rather concentrate on bigger jobs than get called to go out and replace a leaking compression fitting. I can make a lot more money doing bigger jobs than these minor repairs. Kudos to you!
tru that, id probably do it for free. and get their biz for life , probably reuse the nut and ferrule as the existing old x new threads match up more often than they did 25 years ago. but i work in a town of 12k . and many miles and years from where the 10 meets the 405. ive got the 15/16 and 20mm wrenches in my stop bucket. i had to hit the 20mm on the with a grinder. 13/16 is a bit sloppy, they have regular and angled ends... crushing it. Or change all the stops in the bath or entire house and new escutcheons and supplies, some customers want to keep there house sterling and want Me to do it.
@@dollyhadbraces9361 That's the kind of business person I would patronize.
Amen brother!!! Fellow plumber here, I agree 100% with you, I always feel bad having to charge someone (especially seniors) for the simplest repairs. I’d rather have the big jobs too.
Fun fact!
A lot of times I find that the compression fitting has been so overtightened, that the tubing has been mushroomed thus needing to be cut off or replaced anyway
The thing that I dislike is the warning about x-professionals (insert profession of your choice) out to take outrageous amounts of money from you. In my experience, “a workman is worthy of his hire.” I like to learn by doing but sometimes you just want a problem solved easily,quickly & properly. Knowledge someone gained through experience/training is worth paying for. No shade at you, Jane😊
Plumber of over four decades here. I can tell you all that 999 times out of 1,000, you don’t need to remove/replace the nut and ferrule. A New stop will almost always go right back onto the old nut and ferrule without leaking. Always try doing this before going through the hassle of trying to pull the ferrule.
That's the nice thing about brass, it'll conform to the new fitting pretty easily.
This most irritating thing for me when dealing with fixtures is knowing which one will fit with each other. I've done construction work for over 20 years and I still get overwhelmed when I walk down the plumbing aisle!😂
I disagree, but not strongly. The brass ferrule’s job is to deform to form a seal, and as metal, it has fatigue and deforming it again in-place may have unintended consequences. As a pro, you should use use the OEM furnished parts since you have the tools. Looking at your install, the old compression nut probably has lots of bruises from wrenching it. The customer deserves a shiny new valve assembly, especially since it’s 3 minutes more of your time and you have the tool.
@@tonymanero5544 Plumber for 51 years! And your wrong!!! there is no need to remove the ferrule. I have never had to remove one in my entire career.
Eh, maybe. Case by case determination.
As a plumber how can you guarantee that with a customer? A professional plumber will always remove the compression nut and ring and sand the pipe and install all new product.... Besides they don't sale just the angle stops without nut and ring....
I love the fact that you explain things loud and clear and best of all with NO extra background noise.
Thank you for all you do for us at home!
@davidh.888513 Absolutely agree with you, spot on comment. It bugs me a bunch when TH-cam content creators play music over their voice. We came to hear them, we ae not there to fight music to hear them. On top of all that, due to our work environment we may have hearing difficulties.
@@ricdonato4328 I do have hearing difficulties.
Thank you so much again for your fantastic well made videos!
Clear, concise instructions. Camera showing what you are doing. No obnoxious background music. Nothing was skipped over. Refreshing! Thanks!
Gets to the point and job done. Other videos have to give a completely waste of time intro and history.
She’s the best , talks slowly so you can understand her and gives you confidence 👍👏
No...she's just confirmed a little information in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing, the pipe is deemed "second hand" if the ferrule is removed.
After 40 years as a licensed plumber I'v never had a compression ferrule leak, but I must admit I'v never seen that tool before. I'm going to get one though even though I'm retired. Just so you all know, plumbers don't hate you for wanting to do your own work we're regular people too.
LoL then you must be a new construction plumber and not a service plumber 😂
40 years here HVAC and some plumbing. 1st time seeing this puller. I’ve always done it the hard way. Thanks!
The need to replace the nut is most often the reason for removing the ferrule, not a leak past the ferrule. You just hope the nut is in good enough shape to work with this type of tool!
Agree😂
40 year's of plumbing and never knew that tool existed. I change angle values every single day and never take the ferrule off. I just use the old nut. Never had a leak. But I'm going to order one
How can ANYBODY hate you!
😆
In England it’s called a olive
@@chipperkeithmgb Olive?
@@paulsmith9341 Yup, an olive.
People hate her? Why?
Ohhh, because of the title of the video! Ha ha
I think this channel should be called, "Everybody Loves Leah".
Always a good idea to tape your wrenches when working with chromed nuts so you don't scratch or otherwise damage the chrome.
Better yet, use the correct tools! 🤗
@@Stevenowski That might work, too.😀
You never put a pipe wrench on a chrome faucet or shut off
@@Stevenowskicorrect that's one of the differences between a pro sbd and novice
For those wondering, a strap wrench is what you'd use on chrome to avoid damaging the surface. You can also use them safely on plastic pipe fittings.
You’re the best teacher anyone could ever hope for. Thanks for another great money saving repair demonstration.
I’ve been a do it yourselfer for many years and was not aware of this tool. Thanks for educating us.
A ferrule puller is about $11 at Home Depot (Ridgid brand I think). You’ll use it only 1-4 times, but very handy. I agree with Leah that trying to cut off or pull off the old ferrule may result in more damage to the short supply pipe. And with your house water supply turned off, you want to and must finish this job ASAP or be very inconvenienced.
You endlessly help people worldwide and spread the Love, Leah your Amazing 😊❤
ahhhh shucks!!!
As a retired plumber, I can tell you that you really don't need to replace the Ferrule, unless it's damage which is very very rare!
Retired Contractor, Master Plumber, the one that paid the Liability Insurance. Can you get away with not changing a ferrule, sure if your a hack just use a lot of dope and slap that new stop on their. But that once in a while when you get a flood because of it makes that a bad move.
And please don’t use a pipe wrench on fittings!!! NO matter what!
Yup, I did just this the when I replaced a shut-off valve about a month ago.
@@kmichaelp4508 Was thinking the same thing, two shifting spanners would have been a lot better than damage to the fitting. The Ferrell's that I have encountered are nearly always Pex.
You're more likely to damage the chrome on the fitting using the teeth on the wrench, sometimes a couple of wraps of ptfe tape does the trick
🎉 1 MILLION!!! 😊❤ Congratulations- you deserve it… we love you Leah!! TY so much 😘🙏
You have the absolute best tips coupled with an encouraging teaching style.
And she doesn't make a 30+ minute video out of a 5 minute tip.
@@elonever.2.071Absolutely!
I know, she’s the best! I think I’ve known of her channel for 10+ years now. Such an amazingly warm delivery style.. she makes you feel like you know her. 😃
For every one person that “hates” you, a million others love u! Remember that!
Jane is one of the best motivators and teachers on YT when it comes to home repairs. What a blessing.
I’m a professional handyman. You are an unbelievably deep source of knowledge for repairs! Even more valuable coming from a female, as you make home repairs approachable to EVERYONE! My wife has gained so much confidence from your videos!
Can no longer afford repairmen, electricians, or plumbers. I will have to get me one of those pullers. Thank you for showing us how simple repairs can be.
Nonsense! The ferrell doesn't need to be pulled off as it is usually not damaged. Just screw the new shut-off valve on.
Actually, not replacing the ferrule can lead to leaks
@@seejanedrill a little pipe dope for lubrication and the ferrule will reseal almost every time. I have been a LICENSED plumber for 25 years.
@@seejanedrill I have experienced such leaks after not replacing the ferrule. I kind of knew this because it made sense, but I had to try using the old one because that's what you have to do in order to find out you're wrong.
If you have to walk through a minefield, follow someone. And put your feet where they put theirs.
This is a very good video. I’m a licensed master plumber. I don’t hate you. Ha ha. I put up videos to help diy’s also. I’m a do it yourselfer for all of the other work needed on my own home. I can’t afford to pay people to have the things that I want. With the Internet, Utube and some skills why not save the money and learn something. Just be realistic on your ability to perform some projects. Start small and build your confidence, tool base and understanding of how things work. I have done both. Removing the ferrule and replacing never had a leak. Occasionally I thought I’ll save time and leave the ferrule on. I had a couple leak so I always replace them now. Don’t forget a little bit of pipe dope on the ferrule can’t hurt. I have also cut ferrules, worked them off with a pair of mini pliers. It’s not that much fun in a tight space, which is where these valves are usually located. Serious diy’s should purchase tools that you will have for the rest of your life to do all the projects that eventually come with home ownership.
150 dollars? Jane, I would be thrilled if that was the charge. In Los Angeles you are lucky to get a plumber and pay $300 for a basic repair. Thx for the video, I have the 2nd tool but had no idea that could be used to remove the ferrule, I only used it to remove shower handles. 🙏🙏
Agreed. I live in Georgia, and wanted to replace the leaking faucets for my master bathroom shower. He used a full 2-piece replacement kit that came with stems, seats, and trim. The total cost was $750. I was completely disgusted when my wife told me how much it was.
Since I knew the brand they used was Gerber, and both shower systems were original to the house, I bought a stepped seat removal tool for $15, and a 3-piece full replacement kit for $51, and did it myself for the guest bath.
@@demontekdigital1704 , I do most of the repairs at home. I understand they have to make a living but they charge attorney fees for their work. It’s rare finding someone who is fair in their prices.
And that is exactly why homeowners are learning to do their own repairs. There is a reasonable price to charge and then another outrageous price plumbers charge. I call that rape ! Plumbers that charge a ridiculous fee will soon find themselves out of work.
Greetings from Reno, Nevada. I’m a mechanically inclined fluid power tech. I appreciate your efforts to educate and empower everybody that views your channel. I learn something every time I show up.
I didn't even know this little tool existed and I've been doing this kinda work for almost 20 years!! Goes to show you're a lifelong student in this work. You're the best and thank you for showing us.
Life long student here and you are right about learning.
You’re amazing!
It's always some tool I'll use twice in a lifetime that I have to call my handyman- God Bless Him - to come help me out. Thanks so much for letting everyone know not every repair takes an expensive expert.
Come on, how could ANYBODY hate you? I love you and your videos!
SEEJANEDRILL ... your videos are and have been some of, if not the most consistent, helpful, straight to the point, practical, and informative over the years. Thank you!
Love your teaching style. Thanks for all you do.
I used to use pliers to grab the ferrule and pull it off while slowly rotating it. Always worried about scratching the pipe! Will use one of these tools next time - thanks for the vid!
One of the best articulated videos on TH-cam. Your skill and style blows me away. Your crisp clean way of speaking leaves no doubt about the directions you give. Thank you for sharing this and teaching me yet another, better way of doing my home repair jobs.
Thanks Chris
Congrats on the 1M subs Lia!
This channel is always my first stop for all things that start with "There's gotta be a way to...".
After about 25 years of managing without a ferrule puller, I finally had to get one. I regret holding out so long. What a difference. In the past I usually just left the old ferrule and nut and reused it if I wasn't able to remove it easily. This was the usual case. Around a year and a half ago I could not get a shutoff to stop dripping so I purchased the second one you showed at The Depot. I've used it at least twice since I bought it. I really enjoy watching your videos Leah and have recommended them to family members to watch when they want to attempt a repair or small project. Thank you Leah.
Props to you for providing valuable info and also to the plumbers who posted below to let you know that they also give you props for the info you are sharing.
Gotta love Leah! Teaching us the right way to do things to save us money. God bless her.
I love that Leah knows how to do things properly more so than the “professionals” from legit companies.
Jane, in Ireland we call that round sparrow an OLIVE
I've heard my friends in Europe referring to it as an OLIVE
In England also, it's an olive.
God bless you and God bless you tube. I no longer have my Dad to ask DIY advice as I lost him in 2022 due to cancer. Having people like yourself sharing your knowledge on you tube really helps alot of people. Thanks again.
You are so right “ you can do this “. You just need the right information to do it, and you always give the right information 👍👍
"Where you have to pull one" is the key. I am a plumber & first of all I don't hate you. Secondly unless the compression nut or ferrell are damaged for some reason you don't have to remove them just to change a valve. I have been reusing the ferrell & compression nut for 30 years with no issues unless as I said one is damaged & has to be removed. Plumbing is not complicated, no reason to over complicate it.
I mean you paid for the new one might as well replace it. But it's good to know you don't NEED to do it.
Plumber here as well. These are 99% of the time reused.most residential will not see these either as pex is often used.
@breck8714 I've never reused a ferrel, ever. New escutcheon, new stop.
Ferrel blaster.
And unless it's a builder grade spec house, stub outs should be copper.
@@chug33 We typically do not see copper stub outs on residential, even on the higher end luxury homes. Maybe it’s a regional thing. Pex meets code and inspection requirements too.
Thank you for clarifying that. I'm not a plumber but I'm pretty handy. And I have done exactly what you mentioned several times.👍💪
I wished you had posted this video 5 years ago, when I renovated one of our bathrooms.
Back then I spent more than a day inventing something to remove the ferules. Your invention is a lot better than mine. Kudos and thank you, Leah.
Thanks Jane. Had that problem, spent waaaaay too much time sorting it out, didn't know about this tool. Now I do
Best DIY instructor on TH-cam, period.
I'm glad to see you are recovering from the hack .Great video .
I love you sooo much Leah. I've learned so much and done so much because of you and your words, "You can do this!" Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you so so much. Any help to reduce repairs is a blessing. God bless
Information like this is priceless! Thank you Jane! 💪
FYI: The English Tool Company (you can order online) makes a great patented Compression Sleeve Puller (1/2"). I believe thats the first tool Jane uses.
I love how you explain and demonstrate how to do or make repairs. You are very thorough in the step by step process. Many videos leave out an important step which makes all the difference in the world. You have walked me through many a project with successful results. Thank you !
Wow, that actually is amazing, thanks for this. I will have to remember this if I ever encounter this issue. Such a simple solution for a problem that could cause a massive amount of stress.
I've never had to remove the retaining nut and ferel. If undamaged, just reuse it.
38 years of experience.

You are my all-time hero! I have learned so much from you that made my life easier as well as having learned a few tricks using tools that make more than a few older men shut their pie hole pretty quickly. That's priceless.
I’m an “old tools” fan and love the first puller! Thanks for tip, Jane!
Hi Lea! Good to see you. Thanks for showing and sharing. God Bless!
The pleasure is all mine
Saying plumbers hate you for that is like saying auto mechanics would hate you for teaching people how to change their headlight bulbs. Honestly, they'd rather people do that stuff themselves than waste the professionals time.
The title was to draw your attention to get you to watch. IT WORKED! So relax. Yanno why i watch? Cuz i cant believe she wears that jacket year round.
Thanks again Leah. You showed that compact puller a few years ago and I immediately bought one online. It has definitely saved my bacon on a few jobs.
Great video ,thanks.
Been doing DIY home repairs for almost 50yrs, since I lived at home with my parents, later as a renter, and now as a homeowner. Always good to learn something new.
2 things I learned from my dad. 1st is tools make the handyperson, and knowledge is prime. (Language respectfully adjusted).
As far as a Plumber it's $150.00 just for one to come out. I am fortunate as my son is The Cajun Ninja so I just give them an autographed copy of his cookbook and a can of his PIYAHHHHH Seasoning and it's all good. But with that being said Girl you know your stuff. I have so much respect for you with all the videos you put out there to help people. Great Job!
The pleasure is all mine and I've gotta check out your son's channel.
I was a plumber and I don’t hate anybody! Thank you for sharing
I think I say this on your channel every 4 years or so, YOU ARE MY HERO!
Thank you for giving us all a new tool in our quiver of plumbing works itself. Nice work.
$150? I don’t get out of bed for less than $225. Usually, I don’t bother removing the ferrules unless I have to. I’ll remove them if it’s damaged or if the escutcheon needs to be changed. For diy, I’d recommend just reusing the old nut and ferrule on the new angle stop. If you do decide to remove it, I’d recommend another option. They make a cutter style tool. You can find them online or at plumbing supply houses. It has a piece that goes a couple of inches inside the pipe so it resizes it. I tap it in with a mallet. Then you tighten down this screw and it cuts the ferrule. You can usually remove it easily then and if not just spin it 180 deg and do it again. I like this because it works better on compression fittings that have been over tightened. It’s less likely to damage the pipe.
It takes a lot of money to get you motivated. Indians work hard at labour jobs all day every day for $7 per day.
@@Twobirdsbreakingfree if they can live on $7 a day, more power to them
@@joshcowart2446 I don't know how they stay motivated, it's impressive
Wow, you're cheap. Lol
'Plumbers hate me' I doubt it very much.
This video instantly went into my "Repair" Playlist... thanks !!
Please don't think people would dislike you. You are extraordinarily informative and much appreciated by a LOT of us 🙏🏼 Thank you!!
I hate that you can't find this at the hardware store. I searched high and low at the local HD and bupkis. It's super frustrating too because hard water just wrecks the threads and seats of all the gate valve shutoffs at my house...
Go to a plumbing house where professional plumbers get their supplies. They are most likely to carry a tool like that. If not check on line.
Found it on amazon in 5 seconds less than $10
How to videos are great. They are really deflationary since whatever you can do yourself means you need to hire less and pay government less in taxes.
I can definitely see where this would come in handy replacing a toilet shutoff. Thanks
I was a handyman for 35 years, specializing in plumbing and I'd never seen this tool until this video. I may be retired but I still like to learn new tricks. Thanks
Where can I buy the 1st removal tool
ever heard of Amazon???
The company name is the English Tool Company but I think they may have gone out of business.
We have had difficulty getting plumbers over the years so I have "taught myself" some plumbing and also have a collection of tools by now, maybe about $600. I have never had to call a plumber until we had to have the main sewer replaced and even then, I was willing to do some of the digging (I did not). If not for my advanced age (65) I would work for a plumber. Back when I was young, such a job was very, very hard to get, you had to be "in the family". I don't have ferrule puller, all of ours were soldered on. Also, replace all the valves in your house BEFORE there is a problem so you don't have a crisis.
Nicely done. Very clear description of the problem and demonstration of the solution.
No BS and straight to the point, well done and thank you. Didn't know there was a tool just for this. I'm on the hunt. Thank you!!!
I can't imagine anyone but the most hard hearted plumber "hating" Leah! I have to admit that working on short copper pipes in the wall makes me nervous. I've only replaced a couple of valves and so far reusing the existing ferrule has been OK. When I was married, letting a plumber do a job and take the blame if it failed was much safer than the wrath of my ex! LOL
I have been watching your videos for a long time, I felt sad when the problem happened with your account, but the truth always triumphs, thank you very much for your advice and teachings, we will continue waiting for more videos.
What a great teacher you are! Perfect speed. Encouraging and clear.
Dear Leah, I am huge fan of yours and your work. I learned so much since discovering your channel. So many great tips you provided made it so much easier to fix things around my house. Much love and respect to you.
Leah thanks for showing me these tools. I have done my own plumbing for ages and didn't know of either of these tools.
I own the second tool for pulling handles. Never knew it pulled ferrals. Thanks, Jane. Love your videos!
I never came across an issue of this sort in plumbing . I really like this great tip . I hope I can remember this .
God Bless You for helping those that can't afford a plumber or electrician.
What a great video. Straight to the point, easy to understand. I don’t even need plumbing work I just saw it was you and I had to stop and learn something.
I've been following Leah for years, always very helpful and sensible.
Once again , a clear , concise and quick explanation .
This English Tool Co tool has saved me so much time and frustration thanks to you , Leah! Discovered it about 7,8 or 9 years ago thru your channel. Then found Brent. Great little tool!
Thanks!
Lea thanks for sharing the truth as always.May the Lord continue to bless you with Health and Strength and Wisdom so you can help others.
Being a plumber, I would never hate you. Thanks for the videos!
Been a plumber for over 40 yrs… service plumbing, new plumbing and old .. never ever had to to replace a ferrel .. but I like the tool I’m going to get one ..
Good job! Any that I have removed was a real task. Thank you for the helpful demonstration.
Happy to see you doing your thing and doing it well. CHEERS!
Wow! Your channel has grown, congratulations! You always had a DIY solution for almost any home related issue that always helped me. Been awhile since I've visited!!! Keep sharing! Thank you very much!
That tool, that I saw you use, has saved me hours and hours. I'm a retired teacher and now a handyman (which I've been during summers for decades) to make ends meet. I did one job without that tool... it took me 2 hours. Now, 5 minutes or less. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for educating the DIYer. Nice tip.
This is why I love Leah. I learn so much
Love you Leah, and love this tool and demonstration!!
You are an excellent and thoughtful teacher Leah! Excellent video, I’ve found a new and FAR BETTER way now thanks to you! Before I used the old nut and ferule, added pipe thread tape and pipe dope, did a little dance and said a prayer after tightening the bejesus out of the new valve to be sure no leaks. Thanks to my new DIY friend! Truly, Rob
Thank you, Leah.
I agree with many posts here. You do a real service for those of us who have had financial struggles. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I've never seen that before but it will come in handy for a lot of people
WOW ! Those are fantastic tools. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks! You give the best advice for us weekend warriors!
