 Pipe Nipple Remover (sharp!)
Author: schwansa67 (WI)

Hello fellow plumbers. Quick question as to what is the best pipe nipple extractor kit, or individual with VERY SHARP outer edges to grip the inside of the galvanized, brass. I have Century brand,but the edges aren't that sharp, and spin inside of nipple that I'm trying to remove. Generally, mostly from pressure tanks where galvanized meets brass manifold, however, there are many different situations as you know. Obviously, I know to heat up the area to help loosen, and if pipe is big enough, I can use a mini sawzall to cut grooves on the inside of nipple to grip and or to remove as to being very careful. I've tried different brands, but they all seem to be dull right out of package. Just wanting the reverse drill bit type only that has the square end to apply wrench. Thank you very much for any advice!

I have a set of Wheeler Rex internal pipe wrenches in 1/2", 3/4" and 1" that are excellent....but I could not find them on Wheeler's website.....maybe somebody has old stock.

Good luck.
