Review on πŸ”§ Effortlessly Remove SharkBite Fittings with the SharkBite U711A Universal Disconnect Tongs: A Must-Have Push-to-Connect Fitting Removal Tool (1/2 Inch) by James Cypert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Some force required

One side of the tongs has a smaller diameter of 1.125 to fit 1" copper tubing, PEX tubing and PVC tubing. This is done so that the pliers can be used with a variety of fittings. The pliers can be bent slightly to adapt to the respective application. I found that the force required to remove an existing 3 year old fitting was greater than I could apply by hand. I was able to use a 3" clamp to apply the force required. This left my hands free to remove the fitting.

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Zero
