Jun 23, 2023 at 13:12 comment added Adirondack Jim This is to Ruskes and your answer. I'm a bit confused. You say they are permanent (and so far I think you're correct), but you say to use a trained professional to remove it. You hint there may be a tool. If so, please state what it is. (I'm particularly interested about a jay613's answer: I think he implies the crimp tool distorts the pipe so it still has to have that part cut off).
Jun 23, 2023 at 13:08 comment added Adirondack Jim I may have seen the same article. I couldn't for the life of me find that tool.
Jun 23, 2023 at 11:36 comment added jay613 I propose the linked article is pure click bait. It says you first saw out the fitting on both sides and then "carefully" use a (non existent) removal tool to remove it. After you've chopped it out :( The general meandering and pointlessness of most sentences says click bait to me.
