I just replaced the cartridge today following your video and using that tool, thank you. God bless you for sharing your knowledge.

WOW, just wow. There are moments that transcend space and time and take you to a higher plane… this was one of those moments. Never have I felt so connected to a “how-to video. I once had a cartridge get stuck and I had to chip it out out piece by piece. That was something I wouldn’t wish on anybody. Kudos to BIg Al Repairs!

I will be replacing a cylinder shorty. I purchased the cylinder, then started looking at how-to videos. This is a great video, because it clearly is a real faucet, not the pristine prop in the Moen video. Big Al is going to be a "go to" source for repair help.

Great video! Very well explained and made the job really easy without breaking anything. A couple issues I had was the puller came to an end before I was able to get the stem out of the valve body so I slowly rotated the handle on the puller back and forth while pulling and it finally came out. The other issue I had was getting the new stem to slide into the valve body. I destroyed my first stem trying to force it in even after applying lubrication. I took a toothbrush and some calcium/lime remover and scrubbed the inside of the valve body for 30 minutes. The second stem I coated in petroleum jelly and it slid right in with little effort. Never use a metal brush or sandpaper inside the valve body or you might have some new drips. Hope this helps.

I went through two of these pullers thinking they were crap. Turns out I was doing it wrong the whole time. Thank you for this useful video.

What a great video. I’m a novice in the plumbing game. Two years in the service truck, and i just bought this tool because of all the good things I heard about it. This video definitely helps!!! I subscribed and liked the video. Appreciate your help!!!

Thank you so much for the excellent video, the use of the crescent wrench while holding the T-bar handle is genius! Made quick work out of a very stuck cartridge in my shower. Thanks for such a well made, concise video. Now my spare bathroom shower is up and running once again!

AWESOME!!!! Thank you for the video. I have the exact same issue. I was recommended by a “professional” that they had to get access from the adjacent bedroom, cut out access on that wall and replace everything. This will save me A LOT of money!! Thank you 🙏 so much.

Thank you so much for this detailed video and to Joseph in the comments for the extra tips on twisting the cartridge puller handle while pulling out a really old, stubborn cartridge!

[mjreeves]

Just came back to comment and say this video worked great. Cartridge came right out and the tools instructions were bad at best. Your how to made it easy and I was done with replacement it 20mins tops and that was me going to the garage to get tools a few times

oh my GOD this helped me so much!~ A single woman with an old double wide doing her own repairs! This was for an old one handle moen kitchen faucet, picked up the tool at the local hardware store. THANK YOU! I was stumped with the paper directions! xoxo

[UncategoricallyChristian]

Thanks man. Great directions. Took me about 2 minutes to remove.

[jaygibilisco]

Best $16 I ever spent! Thank you, THANK YOU!!!

[amomandotherstuff]

Helped soooo much, thank you!!! Definitely subscribing- “how to use” videos for tools really help a single mom like me have the confidence to tackle projects like the one I’m doing today with your video. Thanks for being so clear and you I’d great visuals- GREAT VIDEO AND SO HELPFUL!!

[TimothyMcGaffinII]

Thank you for your very helpful video. I couldn't figure out how to use the tool until I found your video. THANK YOU.

[krisomarcrispin]

Wow best video thus far. For me it was still stuck on a bit so just pushed with more force and it came out thank you so much!!!!

[robertingram]

Thanks, much better than trying to read instructions. Small investment to buy this too, would have been big issue if I pulled too hard without tool could have broke the solder holding copper pipes. Pulled cartridge from 1986! It was STUCK

Super helpful we have an old home and I’m trying to fix a shower and when the inner cartridge came out I knew something was right and this gives me hope that it’s a cartridge and not a complete valve replacement. Much cheaper!

[daultonruff]

Thank you - I've had that since before covid but I intend to use it tomorrow to replace a leaking cartridge.
