Review for Monument Olive Cutting Tools by Bennetts Safe Gas
10th May 2023

Great product. Cuts copper and brass olives. You will need a bit of extra effort to cut the brass olives but the tool sorts it out. The teeth are very sharp and reversible. If you buy them from the Monument Masters site you can even have your name layered onto them.

I have had the 15mm ones for some time to see what they were like and had a good response when using. If incorrectly or misalignment of the tool can clip the pipe so not rushing is the answer. Have now bought the 22mm ones which really I maybe of been a bit over zealous as they are very pricey.
Still foes the job though.

Brilliant easy to use hand tool.
I use to struggle with a hacksaw and/or grips trying to get off the old olive, but this just slices straight through.
Only thing is to not be too violent squeezing as it can leave a slight nick in the pipe which could be a potential leak point.

After using the rothenberger olive cutter I found that I had to some times over tighten to remove olive resulting in damage to the pipe, but since using he monument olive cutter I have never had that problem as it simple and easy to use with no issue with damage to pipes. Great item I have in my tool box all the time when fitting bathrooms and kitchens.

Hack saws are a thing of the past thank god! These olive splitters absolutely pay for themselves, fitting TRV's has no tedious cutting and splitting hopeing not to catch the pipe. Owned 1 set of each size for about 4 years now still going strong.

Hi, this is Andy Bennett from Bennett's Safe Gas. Thank you, Tool Talk, for sending me this tool to review. This is the Monument 2030 15mm Olive Cutter. It's quite a nice sturdy design. It is a shame that it does only cut 15. You will have to get a 22 to 28. I think they do an 8 and a 10. But saying that, it is a good tool.

If you can see there, these teeth here, they are very sharp. You can undo these and these two screws. I've been told that this is removable. These blades then turn around and go back in if ever you blunt them or damage them, so you get a pair. You put it back together, and it's good to go. In the future, if you do break them again, they are a replaceable part.

There's a nice little catch. It stays together in your toolbox. It is a little flimsy. It does just pull out, so it's not the best, but that's not what sells the tool. All right, let's see it in action. I've got an old fitting here. So the idea is it just slips over, line it up, push it together, and there you can see. It has cut through. It has only cut through one in this one. But yeah, it flies off. Let's try it on another one.

You just slide it over, line it up. See there? Push it together. Yep. You can see there. It opens it up. It hasn't gone all the way through that side, but then probably it's only a thin. And then, if you can see the pipe, there is no damage whatsoever. And then last one. Yep. Again, it just literally slides off. It is a nice little tool. It's a nice cutter. Good thing to keep in your box.

It is easier. If you do only have a short piece sticking up out of the floor, you can just stick this over. I do have a cheaper alternative, but you've got to get in there, and these do mark the pipe. So if you're soldering or anything like that onto it, it's not the best. But yeah, it's a nice tool, very sharp. I don't know if you can see that there. Yeah. It does cut it very well. They are sharp. Nice tool. Thank you, Tool Talk, and thank you, Monument, for allowing me to test this tool.

Hello, it's Michael Glennon from Glennon Plumbing Services, and today I'm reviewing the Monument 15mm pipe Olive Cutters. Smallish job. It's just relocating the radiator from one wall to the other, so want to use the same nuts that came with the radiator valves. Simple as that. As you can see, just squeeze like this, take out the olive, done. And there's the olive gone, off, and now I've got my nut ready to put back on the valve with a new olive. That's it. Thank you very much.


10th August 2022

Me removing some taps, kitchen taps, I'm underneath the unit. Yeah, pretty awkward. Can only get one hand in so cutting the pipe with a pipe slice or bending and snapping the pipes, my only option but with this olive cutter, it's really done the trick. I'm not sure I would use an olive puller ever again. A great bit of kit and got me out of an awkward situation.


10th August 2022

So, hi. Today, I'm going to do a Tool Talk review on the Monument 22mm olive cutters. So comparison, this is the old version of the 15 millimetre olive cutters from Monument. Very similar. The difference being is that the cutters are replaceable, which is a good thing, though I've never had an issue with these blunting over the years that I've had them. Usual Monument quality. And yeah, so the workers in these two blades cut the olive without damaging the pipe as shown. Might have to use two hands on this, because it's a plus olive. There you go. It's come off easy peasy. No problem. Easy to use in hard-to-reach places. Again, another good tool from Monument. So I'd like to thank Tool Talk for giving me this tool to review today, and I'd just like to say, very impressed. Thank you.

Hi, I'm Phil from Stokes Heating. Today we're trying out the Monument 22mm Olive Cutters. First time I've ever used a pair of these, normally I'd just cut the pipe or remove it with a pair of hand pliers. But giving these a go and I was really impressed. It just cuts straight through the olive, first time. Boom, and it's off. Super sharp blades, cuts it both sides, and it just pulls straight away. It was my first time using them, I was well impressed with them. Straight on, not too much force, straight through. And that olive is destroyed. Thank you Tool Talk for sending them to me. I'm well impressed.

Hi, this is Andy Bennett from Bennett's Safe Gas. And this is a Tool Talk review of my Monument 15mm and 22mm Olive Cutters.

Just been delivered in this strong sturdy case. Just take it out of here and there they are. This will be the 22mm. This is the 15mm.

They open up. These have interchangeable, and you can also rotate them, the blades, and they are very sharp. Better than that, is they're on a special offer at the moment. If you buy these two, there you go, you can have them engraved. There you go, just there, is my initials. It is only a small tool, so you can only have five characters, but that's more than enough, your initials. The first part of your company, just gas on it, if you want, or plumb, whatever you fancy.

From the Monument Masters, you get this rubber coating. It's exclusive to the Monument Masters website, and that's in there. It does make that... I did have the 15mm normal, but now with the rubber grip on, from the Monument Masters, it is a lot nicer to use.

Yeah. So if you want a set, get yourself over to the Monument Masters website.
