Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Moen Cartridge Puller for Single Handle Cartridges (1200, 1222, and 1225) by Jason Flores

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Trust me you will need it.

This Moen machine makes heavy work a lot easier. Moen's replacement cartridge comes with this plastic thing that might work if you change cartridges, but who will? More than likely, like me, you need to replace an aging cartridge that's leaking or not letting the water heat up enough, and you don't want to go all day without water. necessary, as the old cartridge will not simply slip out there. Yes, the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Just hold the device in your hands, look at the area you are working on and you will understand everything. My house is 16 years old and has never changed cartridges. I had to stand in the shower and wrestle with him for a few minutes until he pulled away. It even uses a PB blaster to weaken it even more! First I tried a vice and I didn't have enough grip to pull it out. The supplied plastic tool deformed within a few minutes. This is the only one I could find that would work - luckily I've already ordered it in case nothing else works! Yes the price is high for what it is. However, compare this to a visit to a plumber or your handyman and it's a good deal. 5 stars for saving my Saturday! jay
