    Q:Why doesn?t this one have a Phillips head screw?, Instead it has a tiny nut screw, how the heck am I supposed to tighten that sucker now? It would be so much easier if it would have came with a Philip?s head screw instead of that nut screw.

          Made the job easy
          Tried removing the valve without the tool and it wouldn't budge. The tool was fairly simple to understand and got the job done. Sure glad I looked this thing up.

            Works ok with a lot of effort
            I watched videos making this look so easy, but it was not. I really had to take an adjustable wrench and tighten this tool to the right until I thought for sure I was going to break something, then the cartridge finally came free. I think it might be a little too big for the 1222 cartridge. I’m not sure but I tightened it further than it was probably supposed to go. It was probably luck that I didn’t snap off part of the cartridge. It works but proceed with caution.

              Caution
              Works well with some cartridges, poorly with others. I only have experience with the 1225 and 1222 cartridges. (This device is recommended for both). It did a great job in removing (3) 1225 cartridges. However, it's a very poor match for the 1222. The 1225 has a significantly smaller diameter body and gets pulled into the body of the puller. The 1222 however, has a larger diameter body and does not fit into the puller. Tightening the nut on the puller just causes the front of the cartridge to smash up against the puller . While the cartridge did come out about 1/8" it could not be removed any further. I had to call a plumber. He agreed the puller doesn't work as is with the 1222, and then showed me a trick. He puts (2) 1/4" X 1/4" square bars against the fitting holding the cartridge. By keeping these bars far enough apart; using the cartridge puller, he can now pull the cartridge between the bars and out another 1/4". Now he was able to grasp the cartridge with small pipe wrench and pull it fully out.

                Used this for a a simple upgrade on old and more modern shower valves and probably saved me $350-$500 per valve in plumbers fees. The process was simple especially with so many Youtube videos on the topic. My coaching is simple, (1) have all the parts and all the tools you may need ready when you start (note i also purchased the brass cartridge as well along with valve grease), (2) cover your shower drain so dropped screws won't find their way there, (3) take your time and use a magnetic parts tray for the screws and washers, and (4) place the parts in the order you took them off so your reinstallation is just as easy. Could have used better directions.

                  Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but this wasn’t big enough to slip over the cartridge body. I thought it should so I could turn the nut to pull it out. Since it hit the cartridge it doesn’t work like that or it’s too small.

                    I used the tool to remove a stuck 1200 brass cartridge. The Moen tool is designed specifically for these cartridges and it is of good quality. However, as I expected, it was not sufficient for the removal. The brass cartridge had been sitting in the valve for several decades and I could only remove the stem with the Moen tool alone. The barrel of the cartridge needed to be removed with an 1/2" bolt after being threaded with a 1/2" tab as described in this youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmBf4O1hM2k In place of the 3/4" socket shown in the video, I used the bottom part of the Moen tool to create the additional "custom" extractor. If you watch the video, it will be very clear what to do. I was really pleased with the job and I'd still recommend the Moen extractor that makes the job easier. I add a few pics of the tools and the extracted cartridge stem and barrel.

                      You won't have to call a Plumber
                      The cartridge was really stuck. Youtube videos shows plumbers pulling the cartridge apart and using a tap to remove the core. If you are not careful the process could cause damage to the mounting area behind the wall. This tool is well built and efficient. It creates leverage against the cartridge housing eliminating the stress pulling causes. If you are the original owner of the house, Moen replaces the cartridges for free.

                      Cheaper tool can do the same
                      At the suggestions of YouTube videos I bought this. I was unable to make it work as it kept slipping off my old cartridge. I finally got it off using a wrench where I rotated counterclockwise to unscrew and pulled it out.

                      It worked great!
                      I could not remove the old Moen 1222 cartridge with the plastic removal tool supplied with the new cartridge (it's a piece of junk), so I got this tool and it easily removed it without any problems. It's a little expensive (for hopefully only a one time use), but it was a lot less than paying for a plumber to come do it! Note that I would recommed watching video on how to use this tool before attempting to use it. It definitely helped!
