Did exactly what I needed it to do

Worked well on a stuck cartridge. You basically use it after you've loosened it a little with some pliers and the plastic piece that comes with the new cartridge. Screw it on the end and start moving it back and forth and pull slightly at the same time. Eventually it will come out but make sure to use your free hand to hold the rough end while you're pulling.

Go for it!! Highly recommend!

If your like me, on the fence you can't decide if you should get this one or a genuine Moen... I took the chance even after reading the negative reviews "going to shred" "too short"etc..I figured less then half the price... Let me tell you I had a stubborn cartridge bought the tool watched a video on YouTube how it works and 1 min later it's out...it may not be a commercial quality piece but after it's first use other than me slightly stripping the tip of the screw and a light scratch it's in perfect shape so no it's not a piece of junk and it worked perfect for me!

Great tool. Better price.

Works great. Fixed 2 bathrooms in under 30 minutes. Just remember to take out the retaining clip or you will not be able to pull the cartridge. It's made of steel not aluminum and is sturdy. At $9 you don't have to return it and it's a nice addition to your toolbox. Use the plastic tool that comes with the cartridge to loosen it a bit before using the puller. There are some nice videos on YouTube to get you started. My cartridge was model 1222 posi-temp.

The tool to have for Moen cartridges

If you wind up replacing Moen shower valve cartridges with any frequency - this is your friend. Yes, you can probably wiggle the cartridge out using vice grips, a screwdriver and some strong language-- but as with other "puller" tools this confines the extraction force to the body of the valve and makes it easy, averting nightmare scenarios such as pulling something loose inside the wall. (Be sure to remove the retaining clip first!)

Works Perfectly Moen 1225

This puller fit my Moen 1225 just fine. Per the instructions you back off the big nut, position it on top of the cartridge, thread the screw into the top of the cartridge until it bottoms, snug the big nut down on the cartridge, then using your hand you pull the cartridge straight up. You do need to first put the square block on the cartridge and move it back and forth 90 degrees to get it loose. This is not a puller like a bearing puller; it just gives you a good grip on the cartridge to pull it out with your arm strength. In my case, the cartridge had been in the faucet 14 years and we have a lot of mineral in our water, so ultimately I had to just replace the faucet.

The right tool makes the job easy

I used this to replace the cartridge in my 30 yo Moen Chateaux single handle shower. I am embarrassed to say that I replaced two of these without the tool before deciding that there had to be a better way! This tool is the better way! Easy to use. Twisting the nut on the base pulled the cartridge out about 1 1/2 inches. Since the Phillips head bolt screws into the end of the cartridge, I just had to pull it the rest of the way out with my hand. Easy peasy! The tool is made of aluminum. .

OMG -- a DYI dream product!!! Not for professionals!!!

DYI (Do it Yourself Installer) --5 Contractor/Plumber --3-4 DANCO calls this material "metal." I disagree, but I still admit that the substance is strong enough to "repeatably do the job." It appears to be more of a plastic. However, that being said, I have used this product repeatedly at least 7 times and it has not failed nor shown signs of degradation. Look, as a practical matter, a DYI customer should use this thing 3-5 times. (1- "whoopsie", 2- "I broke something or made a mistake", 3- "I rock!!!!" -- and I paid less than the plumber wanted!!!) With all of that in mind, I am comfortable rating it a five knowing that the $45 alternative is a much stronger and likely more appropriate product for a full-time plumber or contractor. However, if you are a contractor/plumber just trying to save a dollar so that you can make payroll and rent, this might not be a bad choice in the short-term. (Emphasis on " in the short term. ")

Read the instructions

So..... All you have to do is read the half page of instructions. They say to rock the old 1225 moen cartridge back and forth, unscrew a screw most of the way, align a couple of tabs on the pull tool, snug up a nut by hand, then pull the T handle on the tool to remove the old cartridge. The instructions include diagrams with part labels. Really couldn't be easier. Not possible I believe without this tool.

Works well with the Moen 1225 cartridges.

I have several Moen faucets that are from the 60's, with cartridges that were equally old. This cartridge remover is just the right tool for removing old, lime-encrusted or rust-laden cartridges with no damage to the faucet housing. I was able to fix two faucets in our main bathroom in less than half an hour. (It took that long because I watched a few YouTube videos on how to do it properly before doing it.) This works with 1225 cartridges. I have not tried it with other Moen cartridge types. Buying the tool was cheaper than calling a plumber for this simple fix.

Worked perfectly

Tried to order Moen"s manufacturers cartridge puller. The delivery date was extended two times. Since we were desperate to fix the leak I cancelled the Moen cartridge puller and ordered the Danco universal puller. At first I was leery to order the Danco because of the negative reviews, since the problem was getting worse I felt it best to give it a try. The product worked PERFECTLY! It worked perfectly because I read the instruction fully and followed them exactly! In 15 minutes the old badly corroded cartridge was out and the new cartridge installed.
