Review on PlumBest J44100 Socket Saver: Reliable 1-Inch Tool for Easy Socket Repair by Robert Aiono

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent tool

If you are looking to repair an existing glued joint this is invaluable. I had a broken pipe that went into a PVC fitting at a 90 degree angle. Replacing the 90 degree elbow was a difficult task at best where it was and it would require me to rebuild much of the sprinkler head. I was able to use this tool to set the knee in clean enough to hold. It is NOT a perfectly smooth surface, but with a bit of sandpaper it cleaned up well enough to fit a new tube. There is a similar tool from another brand that is much more expensive which will likely result in a cleaner finish. So if you do a lot of repairs, this is probably your best bet. If you only do it occasionally, this tool will get the job done. The tool only works with the size you buy.

Pros
  • Removes Schedule 40 plastic pipe
Cons
  • Available in white only
