Not sure which advice you found, but if you do not have the regular removal tool, a Crescent wrench adjusted to the tubing size pushing against the removal collar will take it off.

Actually you are partly correct. It would not be the first time I have used a smaller version of that "TOOL" applied to the side of the Crescent wrench to persuade a tight SB fitting to surrender.

spent the day at a PHCC sponsored trade shows. Sharkbites and pex as far as the eye can see.
I'm guessing its the way of the future!
I'd never use a SB for a permanent installation.
Copper should always be used in some degree, but DIYs look for quicker/easier ways to install pipe, not necessarily better ways.
