1.25 in. Push to Connect Demount Clip, Assorted

This tool is a must have when installing any Sharkbite connections. I just installed two 3/4" connections. The first one went on just great, very quickly. With the second one, the connection went in halfway and stopped. I went down to my local hardware store and picked up this tool and very quickly removed the second connector and found a little bump on the underside of the pipe that prevented complete installation. I removed the bump and successfully reinstalled the connection all the way on. Without this little tool I would have been stuck with a failed installation.

Have bought Sharkbite couplings before and installed them as directed. N Haven't had a need to remove any until today. Bought two today to replace a shutoff valve and couple a water supply line to a hot water heater. Because i=of another soldered joint leaking with all the pipe movement I had to uncouple the valve from the 3/4 inch copper pipe. I worked at it for over 30 minutes then enlisted my son in law (a licensed building contractor) who took another 7 minutes to finally remove it. The orange horseshow shaped tool is worthless! Next time I need such a repair I'll either make certain there can be NO removal needed in my lifetime or go Old School and solder the joint/valve. Wished I had spent the $8 for the tong removal tool.

I thought this was the most wonderful product until it was time to remove the SharkBite fitting. "Easy" disconnect couldn't be further from the truth. I've been wrestling with this for the last hour and it hasn't budged. I am following the instructions as well so this has nothing to do with operator error.

I was told to buy the disconnect clip because it will be the best $2 you will ever spend. The Sharkbite fitting I installed did not seat the full 3/4 of an inch and when I tried to remove it with the disconnect clip, nothing moved. After pulling the clip towards the fitting with my right hand and pulling on the copper pipe with my left hand for at least 10 minutes, I decided it was better to make a second cut on the copper pipe below the Sharkbit fitting versus inadvertently bending the copper. I ended up making another trip to HD, buying a second fitting and a longer hose. I have taken the fitting with copper in it to my workbench and still cannot disconnect the copper with the clip. My experience with Sharkbite is buy double.

I was almost sold on Sharkbite, until I was forced to "undo" a fitting, using the disconnect clips. The in store demonstration of the removal process was nothing like my personal experience. In real life, I found myself in a cold and muddy 26" crawl space cutting the fitting off, like I've done, for the last two decades, except at four times the cost.

was told to buy the disconnect clip cause it would make the job easier and after about 10 min fighting with it i just decided to cut of the sharkbite fitting and install a new one this clip was waste of time and money

I bought this since I had to redo some sink piping and this tool did not do anything that it's supposed to do. I rarely rate a product 1 star, but shark bite, which I thought was an amazing product, just fooled me with this product. Shark bite needs to come up with a better tool to undo!

I've used these and also the special plier tool. Neither of them is very effective. Best option is to use appropriately-sized crescent wrench. Just fit the wrench to the pipe or tubing, then slide against the sharkbite fitting, and pull it off. Works best for me.

I have had no success with the disconnect tool. The white tubing does not come out. Your video makes it look easy but not so. I buy additional joints to take care of leaks, but that is more $$.

This tool is as close to worthless as you can get. A waste of time and money. Ended up cutting out four fittings to fix a defective one.
