About this deal

Has anyone tried the proprietary 8mm olive cutter that I see advertised? I have a house full of rads still to do and it would be well worth the cost if the tool works OK. I would never use a Stanley knife blade for that. They are far too hard and brittle and little bits can fly into people's eyes. A screwdriver is safer. The problem is actually that the copper pipe is soft copper for bending by hand and even though the nuts are small they are often over tightened and cause the olive to compress the tube. Neil and Gerry first came up with a rough and ready prototype of the Monument Tools Olive Puller. The first draft of the product was big and bold. From this initial concept tool Monument further refined it to become the first version of the Monument Tools Olive Puller, still available from Screwfix. Monument Tools help to evolve products with its manufacturing experience as well as working with focus groups to help further enhance the design. John Collier, Chairman of Monument Tools wants inventors to feel comfortable when approaching a manufacturer to design and market their invention. Often inventors have no experience of working with manufacturers, let alone bringing a product to market.

Jonathan Collier, Managing Director adds “products will go through iterations which often we never see at the original outset of the product; we also have new designs of the product coming out in 2018.” Its very easy to use a solder coupler to fit a new length of tube. Once the tube has been compressed it will be difficult to fit a new olive anyway. I need to replace a radiator and rad valves on a 30 year old 8mm microbore system and will take the opportunity to fit a TRV. Well the job turned out OK but I have to say that I found sawing off the olives quite fiddly without cutting into the pipe or stressing it too much - and I am quite a patient person.
