I have a Husky compression sleeve puller mainly I use it to pull off the ferrule of a compression valve for 1/2" copper tubing.

The problem is this tool has a pin that you insert into the copper tubing, and while it will insert into 1/2" type M copper it will not insert into the thicker type L copper.

Is there one that has a center pin/adapter that will work with both L and M copper? For example will Superior Tool #3943 do it?

I'm shocked it won't fit type L copper. Are you sure there's not a burr preventing it from going in?

I'm with Tom, surprised it does not fit.

I started off using a sleeve puller like the one pictured. I had trouble get the sleeves off when they were really compressed on to the pipe. Which happens a lot in my neck of the woods.

I now use a sleeve splitter - like this :

I really like it.

The only problem I have run into when using it, is if the angle stop was installed so close to the flange that you can not slide the nut back far enough to expose the sleeve. When this happens I usually can slice the flange with tin snips and remove it. Now the nut will slide back etc. If for some rare reason I can not do this I use Dremel and slice the sleeve it. You need a delicate hand.

If the copper pipe was not reamed I have to ream it to get the splitter to slide inside the pipe.

Neither one of these is a big deal.

I have no reason to ever switch back to sleeve puller.

Just my 2 cents.
