Troubleshooting
Tool slips off the olive
Ensure the olive is fully seated within the tool's jaws. Try wiggling the tool slightly to achieve a better grip. Check that the olive size matches the tool's intended fitting size (15mm or 22mm).
Olive is difficult to remove
Apply steady, firm pressure. If the olive is severely seized, a small amount of penetrating oil might help, but allow it to work before attempting removal again. Ensure you are using the correct size setting for the olive.
Tool appears damaged
Inspect the jaws for any bends or cracks. If damage is found, discontinue use and replace the tool to avoid further pipe damage.
