Not necessarily. I usually try the new valve with the old ferrule, but if it looks bad or leaks, or otherwise doesn't pass the smell test, I'll pull the ferrule and replace everything.Question: When replacing the angle valve or any service shut off valve... do you have to replace the existing ferrell?

Can you get the ferrell off without cutting the copper tubing? Most of the time the tubing is too short to install the new valve if you cut it off.
I use 6” channel locks and wiggle the old off. But I am currently ordering that ferrul puller. I love new useful toolsCan you get the ferrell off without cutting the copper tubing? Most of the time the tubing is too short to install the new valve if you cut it off.

look for a chain muffler pipe cutter, you can use it as mini cutters for 1 1/2' 2'' and 3'' copper
Yes! Highly recommended. But a few DIY'ers don't. sometimes they get lucky and it works out. But If you're asking a pro YES. ALWAYSQuestion: When replacing the angle valve or any service shut off valve... do you have to replace the existing ferrell?
