Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jones Stephens Corp. J44-150 Socket Saver
Customer Review: Must-have if you have a swimming pool
Summary: 4 Stars
If you own an in-ground pool and do your own plumbing, with 1 1/2" PVC pipe, you'll need one of these. It's hard to find threaded PVC pipe fittings, and you can't thread schedule 40 PVC pipe anyway, so you have to use slip joint pipe fittings and cement them together. This makes it impossible to re-use fittings when you need to change your configuration or if something breaks. That's where this tool comes in. It allows you to bore the pipe out of the fitting so the fitting can be re-used. It's not pretty and it doesn't work as smoothly as it could, but it does the trick.
You'll need a powerful variable-speed drill, a good vice to hold the fitting, and you need to stop periodically and clean the cuttings out of the cutter. If you proceed carefully, it will leave a thin layer of the pipe that can be removed with a sharp knife or a die grinder. A little PVC cleaner and your fitting will be ready to use. If you're not careful or lucky, you might do some damage to the fitting, but if the damage isn't too severe, you can still get a leak-free joint if you use heavy duty PVC cement.
It's hard to decide what rating to give. When you see the tool you won't believe they could actually charge so much for it, but it works, and it's the only tool that does what it does. It definitely pays for itself by allowing you to salvage and re-use expensive fittings
