Replacing an angle stop or pulling a stuck compression sleeve is one of those plumbing jobs that can turn a quick fix into an afternoon of frustration. Two all-in-one plumbing tools aim to change that: the Angle Stop Removal Tool with Compression Sleeve Puller Tool 1 and the Angle Stop Removal Tool with Compression Sleeve Puller Tool 1/2. Both are advertised as 4-in-1 wrenches that work with 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch MPT compression outlets and remove 1/2-inch copper water compression sleeves. The key difference comes down to price and whether you get an extra utility key in the box.
Quick Verdict
If you want a bonus 4-way multi-functional utilities key and are willing to pay more, the 1/2 version is the better pick. If you want the same core angle stop and sleeve pulling abilities without the extra accessory, save your money with the Tool 1 version.

Product Notes
Angle Stop Removal Tool with Compression Sleeve Puller Tool 1
This Kavedod tool covers the essential angle stop removal and compression sleeve pulling jobs without pushing your budget. It has a polished black finish and a Torx head style, matching the core design of the more expensive model. It also handles the common outlet sizes on residential supply lines, so the wrench itself is fully capable. The price is the main reason to pick it up for a single plumbing repair. The trade-off is that the listing does not mention a separate bonus key as an included component, so you won't have an extra utility key right in the package. For anyone who just needs the wrench to finish a job, that's usually enough.
Angle Stop Removal Tool with Compression Sleeve Puller Tool 1/2
The 1/2 version is the one that comes with a bonus 4-way multi-functional utilities key, which makes it a more complete all-in-one kit. You get the same polished black, Torx-head wrench that handles the same outlet and sleeve sizes, so the core tool is unchanged. The extra key is why you'd spend more here. It's especially handy during a multi-valve repair where you don't want to swap tools between stops. For those who value a ready spare, the added cost is easy to justify. The downside is simply that higher price, which you're paying for that convenience. If you regularly work on angle stops or compression fittings and appreciate having a backup key, this version makes sense.
Final Choice by Use Case
For a one-off angle stop replacement and the simpler purchase on a budget, go with the Angle Stop Removal Tool with Compression Sleeve Puller Tool 1. For ongoing plumbing work where a backup utility tool is genuinely useful, the Angle Stop Removal Tool with Compression Sleeve Puller Tool 1/2 is worth the higher price.
