Thanks for posting. I’ll stick to my knife for now and nine frame spacing. I love your idea of a cooler to store the frames quickly and found it funny that your tools were constantly in the wrong spot. Same thing happens to me.
I used it again yesterday helping a friend with his hive and it worked much better than in the video! I think there was just a little learning curve in using it!
One thing I like is royal jelly, but this tool is a royal mess..... I agree a better uncapping system may be worth it to figure out but maybe it'd work better befriending gravity and containing the frame all in the bucket. I think if you use it put the frame vertical in the bucket and start at the bottom of the comb and uncap upwards. I personally would uncap one end with the new uncapping tool until I could get the knife uncapper in to fit and the then stand by with the uncapping fork to touch up the hard to reach cells of honey.
I can't belive you did it in your kitchen, what a mess that must make .... I see you still used you capping scratcher, from what I seen here, I'll keep my hot knife and capping scratcher. If you have 9 frames per honey super they will draw it out to the proper bee space wich give you enough to cut off with a hot knife.

Thank you so much for this review/demo!! I got one of these last month, but haven’t used it yet!!
Your welcome! I’ve used it more since the video was filmed and works even better than I thought!
Nal!!guess I’ll stick to the way I been doing it for the the 35 years..old fashion roller..by the time he got one frame done I could have 4
Doubtful
What song was that in the beginning?
I'm guessing there will always be a need for a few different uncapping tools in the collection

You really have to be careful or you will destroy half of your drawn-out comb with it. More work than it is worth to me and the bees.❤️🐝

Looks like way to much work and it destroyed the foundation.
i give it an D i don't like it
I used it on a friends plastic frames and it worked a lot better than on wax frames.
@@WhistleThicket i thank it takes to much of the wax off.
@@justinmitchell4389 Isn't that better? Not being sarcastic, serious question. Why wouldn't you want a tool to remove as much wax as possible?
