Danco 86712A Cartridge Puller for Moen

I have worked on plumbing for about 50 years!! Yes I'm older but experienced and honestly when I first watched the videos and looked over the old cartridges I thought oh boy! Nothing worse than breaking stuff or leaking stuff or call the plumber expensive stuff. This tool is a must have especially for the price. It's simple to use. Steps....unscrew the screw in the handle out most of the way, rotate the indexed tabs on the tool up with the cartridge in the wall, start turning the screw into where the handle for the faucet used to go, turn the big nut on the Danco tool clockwise. The point here is to let the nut do the work on the tool insuring you the the long screw in the handle seated into the end of the cartridge where the old faucet handle went. As you turn the big nut on the tool you will find you will need channel locks or a crescent wrench and I cannot stress this enough don't be in a big hurry to pull it out of the valve body. Slow and steady and you should not break a thing. I have a 22 year old house and this is the first time I replaced the faucet cartridges!! I should have replaced them the minute they were getting hard to turn, pull and push. This tool will insure that you shouldn't break anything...slow and steady. Finally not getting this tool drops you back to raw muscle power and frankly so often if you have to pull something so hard that you're just about to pull the pipes out of the wall ( I saw a video where the guy was almost there with pulling stuff out of the wall but...the cartridge finally let go) you've got a problem. This tool insured the job was done right and nothing was broken and left in the wall that is part of the valve. If you want a nightmare of a plumbing job don't get this, break something off in the wall, and find a very expensive plumbers bill which probably will set you back $300 or more if your'e lucky!!! The tool is excellent and very robust, not a piece of junk but a solid piece of metal!!

Very light material compared to my other puller.. but it worked well. I broke my other cartridge pulling it out with my other cartridge puller that was meant for a different cartridge so I wanted to get this one that was meant for my cartridge so I didn't break it and spend hours trying to drill out my cartridge being careful to not hit any pipe. I got the cartridge half out and broke it again with this one but that was my own fault because I started to put pressure from side to side instead of pulling straight out. . But having it half out only took a couple mins to destroy and pull out the old cartridge. So I would say this is worth buying just don't push side to side.

Aun no lo uso se ve de buena calidad
