Abstract: A ferrule extraction tool for sliding a ferrule off of a pipe is disclosed. The tool may be operated with one hand such that a plumber may operate the tool in hard to reach areas. The tool has an actuator which pushes a yoke. The yoke engages a smooth rod and traverses a ram forward upon actuation of an actuator. Upon release of the actuator, the yoke releases the smooth rod and is traversed back to a retracted position via a spring force. A brake prevents rearward traversal of the rod as the yoke is traversed in a rearward direction. To reset the tool after removing the ferrule from the pipe, the operator may release the brake such that the operator may traverse the rod and the ram back to the retracted position.
