Reviewing the Monument Olive Cutters

[@Boopop1024]

Was using a Silverline olive puller I got on Amazon for £15. Just about managed to remove an olive from one pipe but practically destroyed the pipe in the process. Evidently not much use. Now got a different olive that needs replacing (flipping weeping leak!), this looks like it'll do a much better job. Thanks for the straight forward demo :)

Great video, as the last review said "clear and to the point". I used an olive *puller* yesterday for the first time, which did work, but there was an issue. The old fitting had been tightened really hard, and pulling the old olive off left the last inch of the pipe with a reduced diameter. I'll be buying one of these splitters now, thanks for the excellent demonstration.

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

17 years in the trade and I’ve literally just discovered these 🤦‍♂️ great vid 👌

[@nickcollins7568]

They are brilliant. I own 3 sizes for 10, 15 and 22 pipe. Very handy. Especially useful for changing valves. The 22 usually works well on Imperial 3/4 inch olives as well

[@AllenHart999]

Love mine TBH, Thanks for watching.

[@Eriuqsrednef]

I have always cut the olives off with jnr hacksaw. So time consuming. So glad for your vid. I am now converted.

[@christastic100]

Iv always split the olive by cutting across it until nearly through with a junior hacksaw taking care not to score the pipe below,then using a flat blade screwdriver in the cut twist it apart. This is a much easier way so I’m going to get a set . Great demonstration

[@AllenHart999]

That’s what I used to do, these are great

[@chris-pp2ch]

Me to been cutting them off with a hack saw for ever going to get some now . Thanks

[@kristianhodges1]

thank you for the review I've gone and got my self both 22mm and 15mm now works perfectly

[@Garciamrcool]

Definable worth replacing regularly. If they get blunt they cause more problems than they solve I find. They damage the copper pipe by nicking it. Also they struggle with brass olives and sometimes only squash or deform copper olives. I bought the new black handle ones to replace my red handle ones and thought they were much better.

[@AllenHart999]

I am from yorkshire and dont want to spend money, lol . Thanks for watching.

[@malachy1847]

Just wondering would these cutters work on the Imperial pipework...Half Inch and Three Quarter inch ...great Upload ..as always

[@glam6798]

Does the 15mm cutter work on the US standard 1/2-Inch copper pi;e compression Sleeve?

[@L.C.Sweeney]

These cutters are brilliant at the job. Shame they're really heavy and the plastic on the grips smells like shite. Still worth it.

[@AllenHart999]

Thank You

[@Theknotman1964]

Thank you posting, just what i'm needing

[@AllenHart999]

Excellent tool.

[@chesshooligan1282]

Is it always possible to use an olive cutter to remove an olive, or are there situations in which you need an olive puller?

[@rayc1503]

When the nut's covering the olive itself. I.e on a radiator trv or lockshield valve when the nut doesn't move back enough for you to be able to expose the olive.

[@chesshooligan1282]

@@rayc1503 Thank you.

[@bmbpdk]

Hello sir, thank you for the video. Would they work just as fine on PEX tubing? This would be handier than cutting the piece of PEX off. Ive been in situations where i just couldn afford loosing those extra centimeters. And the PEX wasn too long either.....

[@samsc795]

Do the cutters have a limit so they don’t cut into the pipe?

[@richardhughes3994]

Nice and clear and to the point, cheers buddy

[@AllenHart999]

Richard Hughes Thanks 🙏

[@soysaucenwasabi]

I recently bought these but I noticed the middle piece is loose and rattles. Is this normal or is mine defective?

[@jbhoyceltic4806]

Allen what is best olive cutter or olive puller

[@raulgutierrez1093]

Looking good! But when you under the sink and no space is not that easy!!🙄🤣🤣

[@Rayblondie]

Thank you so much just what I needed as well.

[@phillipboag]

Good video Alan. I've got the type that go in from the end and they aren't as good. Will be getting this type 👍

[@V6PSC]

Not a fair test, why not use new pipe and olive on both ???

[@jf6624]

Use these all the time, 10 and 15mm. Save so much time too.

[@AllenHart999]

I have used them for many years and think they are a great bit of kit.

[@Razz60]

Still use the red ones lol had mine abt 15yrs aswell

[@AllenHart999]

[@MythicMasteriWish]

The grips don't look as good on the new one

[@rupertrigsby]

Like everything else they reduce the quality to maximise profits.

[@mark3158274]

I don't know why they don't sale these in the U.S.

[@SK-fv6sf]

[@SloopyDog]
