I had no idea such a tool existed. The chrome-plated pipe that comes from the wall to the toilet valve, had developed a crack, and I had to turn off the water to the house. Because of that, I learned two important things-- that pipe is called a "nipple", and that it can easily be removed and replaced without damaging the finish on the new one, by using an internal wrench like this set. This set of three was very reasonable priced and feels of good quality. Amazon delivered it next-day, and immediately I had no trouble removing the damaged nipple and installing a new one. This is the kind of tool that is great to have-- you will go for years and years without needing it, but then when you need it, you need it! Highly recommended to have in your tool collection at this price just-in-case.

One trouble that residing way outside the urban footprint presents is, finding a tool or any item that you happen to need exact repairs. When my chrome shower head snapped off inside the galvanized elbow, which happened to be inside the wall...I was in the weeds. No locals, or the nearest town (Sault St Marie) had easy outs. I was making a run down state to the Metropolitan Detroit area so managed to find a Husky short set. 700 miles later, I then promptly proceeded to drop the thing into the wall... %&$$$!!! I found this set for about half of what I had paid for the Husky brand. It arrived within days. The cam design locked it in place (hand tightened) and extracted the broken pipe in under a minute. Excellent design and ease of use, plus a real value. It even has a storage case (not a blister pack on cardboard). Top value and design! Highly recommend this product. 5 Stars ++++

Used a workaround on the 1/2 inch with brass nipple. Bought this to remove 1/2 inch brass stub outs before plastering. Tried all the sizes in galv water pipe nipples and all worked OK, but the 1/2 inch failed on a brass nipple. tried on different 1/2 inch brass nipples from dif mfgrs and none worked. A brass nipple ID is about 1/16 inch larger than the galvanized nipple. However, by using a shim on the long tooth section of the tool, it worked. This set ALMOST matches the OD of a set I have that is 40 years old, but is about 1/32 smaller for the 1/2 inch tool. Other vendor's sets are actually smaller OD and did NOT work at all. Seems to be an issue with 1/2 inch pipes. If the Duratech1/2 inch tool were about 1/32 inch bigger, it probably would work with no shim. These tools definitely seem to be finicky when it comes to the 1/2 inch size and getting the cam action design correct.

Used the 1/2" size to remove an iron tub spout nipple. Worked like a champ. Tried to install a brand-new brass nipple and it would not grab hold of it at all. Looks symmetrical, like it should work either way. The description says extractor and I guess that's all it is.

Tried multiple tools but this one finally got it out of the shower pipe without damaging holding, the brass pipe was stuck so bad that had to hammer this tool in it but after that was able to get the stuck pipe out.

Easy to use. I was going to have to reverse thread an inside pipe that broke off in order to get a bolt or something to spin it out. I tried making a key out of copper to fit the broken piece, I tried everything; but these pipe wrenches got the corroded inner pipe right out. New shower valves all the way around.I did not get grip, and keep turning. I got grip, and pulsed my strength a little to wiggle it out in different angles. When I went for it about the 3rd-4th time it turned right out. I heard these wrenches have the possibility of breaking or cracking the outer pipe. Luckily it did not for me.

The "knurls" on the tool are polished and the "disk" part has lots of "slop" in the fit.Polished - a.k.a. "rounded over" knurls don't have any edges to grab the inside of the pipe, which in combination with the overly loose fitting of the grip disk, means it has zero chance of working.So the tool just spins round and round without engaging.I'd guess this is a manufacturing issue - either with the tooling that makes this being worn out, or with the plating process depositing so much chrome that it "blurs" any sharp edges.Either way, worthless metal.
