Vorhixa 6 Pcs Plumbing Tools Kit with Angle Stop Wrench & 1/2-Inch Compression Sleeve Puller, Professional Plumbers Wrench, Sandpaper and Storage Bag for Frozen/Corroded Angle Stop

A kit that actually streamlines angle-stop changeouts

I spend a lot of time on small but high‑impact plumbing jobs—replacing aging angle stops, cleaning up weepy compression joints, and getting houses ready for fixture upgrades. The Vorhixa kit promised a tidy, all-in-one solution for those tasks, and after putting it through several valve swaps on 1/2-inch copper, I can say it largely lives up to that promise.

What’s in the bag

The set is simple: an angle stop wrench with a dual-action jaw and threaded ends, a 1/2-inch compression sleeve puller (ferrule puller), a strip of cut-to-length sandpaper, and a waterproof storage bag. The tools arrive coated in a corrosion-resistant finish and feel appropriately heavy without being clunky. The red finish isn’t just cosmetic—it makes the tools easy to spot in a crowded bucket.

A few specifics worth calling out:
- The wrench’s adjustable jaw fits both 15/16-inch and 5/8-inch nuts, which covers the common sizes for stop-body and supply nuts.
- The wrench includes threaded ends that engage 3/8 or 1/2 MPT outlets on the valve. That extra bit of engagement helps keep the stop stable as you break things loose or tighten up, reducing stress on the copper stub-out.
- The ferrule puller is specifically for 1/2-inch copper compression sleeves. If you’re working on 3/8-inch copper or PEX/CPVC with adapters, this isn’t the right puller.
- The sandpaper strip is wide and easy to cut down; the grit sits in the sweet spot for cleaning without gouging.

First impressions and setup

The wrench is the star here. The dual-size jaw and the ability to anchor into the outlet threads mean you can oppose forces properly—one hand steadies the stop, the other works the nut—without twisting the copper out of the wall. The adjuster knurling is positive and doesn’t walk under load. The ferrule puller has well-cut threads and a stout T-handle; the contact surfaces seat cleanly on the nut and sleeve.

The storage bag is serviceable, not special. It’s a thin, water-resistant pouch with a zipper that keeps everything together and resists the inevitable splash in a vanity cabinet, but it’s not padded and won’t fend off sharp edges bouncing around in a truck bin. I ended up keeping the bag inside a larger tool roll.

In use: replacing compression angle stops

I tested the kit on a mix of bathroom and kitchen stops—typical 1/2-inch copper stub-outs feeding 3/8-inch outlets to the faucet/supply lines. The wrench’s threaded tips engaged cleanly with both 3/8 and 1/2 MPT outlets I encountered, and that anchor point made a noticeable difference in control, especially on older valves with stubborn packing. Being able to swap between 15/16 and 5/8 nuts without juggling a second wrench kept the workflow smooth.

Where the kit earns its keep is the ferrule puller. Reusing old nuts and ferrules is a shortcut that invites leaks. With the puller, I was able to extract sleeves cleanly on most lines, leaving the copper round and ready for new hardware. Once the sleeve popped, a few passes with the included sandpaper brightened the pipe and gave a clean, uniform surface for the new ferrule to bite. That combination—remove, clean, install new—produced reliable, first-try seals.

On heavily corroded or painted-over stops, the puller met its match once. The sleeve had bonded to the copper with a mix of mineral buildup and a slight ovalization of the pipe at the old bite point. I backed off before forcing it and scoring the pipe. A little penetrating oil, heat from a safe distance, and resetting the tool got it moving, but it’s worth noting: if a sleeve is truly fused or the pipe is compromised, you’ll still be making a judgment call—pull gently or cut back and add a coupler. The tool reduces those scenarios; it doesn’t eliminate them.

Clearance near the wall matters. The puller’s footprint is modest, but under shallow escutcheons you may need to pull the trim or work at a slight angle. On the plus side, the tool’s face spreads the load and doesn’t chew up paint or tile the way pry-and-twist techniques can.

Fit and finish

After multiple installs, the wrench jaws show minimal wear, and the adjuster remains tight without slop. The puller’s threads are smooth and resisted galling; a dab of light oil on the screw made it glide. The corrosion-resistant finish wiped clean after contact with flux and hard water—no staining or surface rust so far.

The sandpaper is a small touch that pays dividends. It’s wide enough to wrap around the pipe for even pressure, and the grit hits that Goldilocks zone: aggressive enough to remove oxidation, fine enough to avoid flats or deep scratches. I still keep a dedicated roll of emery cloth in the bag, but for quick jobs this strip did the trick.

Limitations and quirks

• Sleeve size: The ferrule puller is only for 1/2-inch copper compression sleeves. If your work spans 3/8-inch copper or you regularly deal with non-copper stub-outs, you’ll need additional pullers.
• Clearance: Tight wall cavities or oversized escutcheons can limit access. The tool is kinder to finishes than brute methods, but it still requires some room to operate.
• Storage bag: Functional but flimsy. It keeps things together and dry but won’t survive jobsite abuse on its own.
• Not a miracle worker: On severely deformed or deeply corroded sleeves, you may still need to cut and repair the line. The puller reduces risk and time on most jobs, not all.

Who it’s for

• DIYers tackling a bathroom refresh will appreciate the confidence boost. Using new nuts and ferrules with a cleaned pipe dramatically increases the odds of a drip-free result.
• Pros and handypeople will like the time savings. The wrench’s dual-size jaw and threaded engagement reduce pipe stress and speed up changeouts, while the puller lets you standardize on “replace, don’t reuse” without damaging walls.

Practical tips from the field

• Use a two-wrench method: Anchor the valve with the threaded end and jaw, then turn the nut with a second wrench if space allows. Less stress on the copper equals fewer callbacks.
• Break corrosion before you muscle it: A small shot of penetrating oil and light wire brushing can save the ferrule puller from slipping on a stubborn sleeve.
• Clean the pipe fully: Don’t just shine the bite area. Clean 360 degrees around the pipe for the width of the new ferrule; the included sandpaper is sized well for this.
• Hand-start threads: When installing the new stop, hand-start the compression nut and keep it square. The kit can’t fix cross-threading.
• Check for roundness: If the old sleeve left a noticeable groove and the pipe is slightly oval, dress it lightly and, if in doubt, cut back to sound copper.

Value and versatility

As a focused set for compression stop work, the Vorhixa kit strikes a good balance. You’re not paying for a dozen rarely used attachments; you’re getting the two specialty tools that actually move the needle, plus a couple of practical add-ons. The wrench’s compatibility with both 3/8 and 1/2 MPT outlets and 15/16/5/8 nuts covers the most common residential scenarios, and the puller encourages best practice—new ferrule, new nut, clean pipe—without resorting to hacks.

Verdict

The Vorhixa kit earned a spot in my service bag because it makes a common job cleaner, faster, and more consistent. The wrench’s dual-action design gives you control without torturing the copper, and the 1/2-inch ferrule puller removes the biggest temptation in these jobs—reusing old hardware. While the puller won’t conquer every corroded sleeve and the storage bag is nothing to brag about, the core tools are solid, thoughtfully executed, and durable.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit for anyone who replaces compression angle stops on 1/2-inch copper with any regularity. DIYers will get a more leak-proof outcome with less drama, and pros will shave minutes off each stop while reducing the chance of wall or pipe damage. If your work often involves other pipe sizes or materials, plan to supplement with additional pullers—but as a dedicated solution for 1/2-inch copper, this is a smart, hardworking set.
