Rothenberger olive spliter. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31g0adQOZRL._SY355_.jpgJust turned up today and already it's my favourite tool of 2018 and I've not even used it in anger yet, it slices through an olive effortlessly! I wish I'd bought it sooner, the last few months I've been changing all the valves from gate to lever in the risers of a massive hotel, normally I'd just swap the valves but the nuts are different threads. This tool would of been sped things up no end! I can't wait for the new year when we get the next phase of the refurb  |

I can't wait for the new year when we get the next phase of the refurb I got the ‘Dickie’ Dyre one for £20 on eBay👍👍 Great tool, better than the Olive Puller, but don’t tell the wife!! www.dickiedyer.com/en-GB/Plumbing/Plumbing%20Tools/652001 |

A part from dickies dear wife  olive pullers are shit and especially when some brain dead fuck wit has done the fitting up like king Kong, that olive ain't pulling off. |

I've never had problems getting ancient olives off but not sure if I'm maybe kinking or scratching the pipe too much in the process . I've always used the bang it with adjustables sliding on the pipe method. Or if I don't have enough room I put some grips on an lightly twist the olive round (thats the method I'm not sure I should be using but it always works).

Your first method is ok, Dafty, but gripping an olive and twisting risks damaging the pipe. Treat yourself to a Monument olive puller. You'll wonder why you hadn't bought one years ago.
