i have found them very handy if you haven't got much pipe to play with as in a low rad etc.
might buy one then. i had to remove old olives froma compression fitting on a pedestal basin a few months back and it was a knightmare!! took me an hour to saw them off carefully with a hacksaw as i was scared i'd pinhole the pipe!!
the only thing with the screw on olive puller it won't fit diverter valve or old imp thread nuts.

hmm so does it just fit normal 15mm copper pipe compression fitting olive's?
15mm/22mm but not diverter valve nuts or old imp nuts.
oh why not diverter valve olives? they are 22mm i believe?
not the same thread as a normal nut.
you try using a diverter valve nut on a 22mm gate valve etc won't screw on.
i know the olive is the same but the screw on extractors rely on the nut to pull the olive off

ok thanks for your help-good point there.
i think i have got olive puller's wrong! I just though you unscrewed the nut and put the olive puller over the olive and removed it that way. didn't know the nut also was covered by the o. puller!

place the puller over the olive screw the nut on the bottom then when you wind the puller up the nut pulls the olive off.
I have olive cutters rather than pullers.....takes 2 seconds and removes the olives no probs
Always use olive cutters, not tried pullers, and does 95% of jobs except where you cant move the compression nut back far enough, due to being near an elbow or tee fitting.

And a junior hacksaw and electicians screw driver is so hard to use heavens forbid it takes more than 30 secs to get an olive off.
