PlumBest J44100 Socket Saver: Reliable 1-Inch Tool for Easy Socket Repair Review

If you do a lot of PVC work (lawn sprinklers?) just get this one. I've tried the melt option for years. Such a waste of time. It's much easier, safer and faster.

THE TOOL IS GREAT AND WORKS AS SPECIFIED. BUT NOT ON PLAN 80 I TAKE A 1 INCH INCLINE DRILL AND DRILL THE PIPE AND THEN THE TOOL FOUND. I WANT THE SALESMAN TO SAY HE WILL NOT WORK ON THE 80 SCHEDULE.

This item is amazing. If this little gem wasn't available I would build up the concrete, it cleaned up the damaged PVC and let me reuse the T which made a perfect seal the first time I saved hundreds with $11

I am always working on my carp pond so I have a lot of different PVC fittings and valves. When adding various components to a filter system, I always cut out the fittings and usually throw away the used ones. Well, not anymore. I've used this on a check valve and some other fittings and it worked like a charm. The tool has already paid for itself. Now I'm looking at a different one, a different size.

PlumBest J44100 Socket Saver, 1 inch This tool saved me a ton of time and money having to dig out the site and replace a few fittings and lines. The defective fitting can be reused without any problems. The cost of this tool is much less than I would otherwise have had to spend to fix it. I also bought 1/2" and 3/4" tools but don't need them yet. I'm sure they will work just as well.

PlumBest J44100 Socket Saver, 1" This tool saved me a lot of time and money as I would have had to dig up the site and replace a few fittings and lines. It only took a few minutes to easily prepare the broken fitting for reuse. The cost of this tool is much less than I would otherwise have had to spend to fix it. I've also bought 1/2" and 3/4" inch tools but haven't had to use them yet. I'm sure they will work just as well.

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…
