Ferrule Removal Tool really works!

Every once in a while, a ferrule can become stuck inside a fitting in your HPLC system or your column. If this happens, don’t worry! Your HPLC system can be up and running again in no time. The ferrule can be easily removed with a special tool designed for this purpose. Called the Ferrule Removal Tool, it consists of a threaded portion like you would find in a drill bit. However, the threading goes the opposite way to allow for the stuck component to be extracted. Simply push against the ferrule with the tool while turning counter-clockwise. In some cases, you may need to give it a light tap with a hammer to get it to bore into the ferrule. As you turn, the ferrule will screw out from inside the fitting. That was easy!
