It is designed for beekeeping tasks, delivering reliable tension and secure crimps with a retracting feature to manage wire length and slack. Key benefits 2 in 1 design: acts as a wire tensioner and a crimper with a retracting function, reducing the need for multiple tools during frame wiring. Consistent tension: helps you achieve tight, uniform wire tension across frames, improving frame stability and wire longevity. Time saving: streamlined workflow with quick tensioning and crimping in one operation, speeding up hive setup and repairs. Reduced hand fatigue: ergonomic operation minimizes strain during repetitive framing tasks. Beekeeping focused: built to handle typical frame wiring work found in professional and hobbyist apiaries. Key attributes Functionality: wire tensioner, crimper, and retractor in one tool, designed for beekeeping frame wiring. Compatibility: suitable for standard bee frame wire and cable use common in beekeeping setups. Size and portability: compact, easy to carry in a toolbox or field kit for onsite hive work. Construction and durability: designed for repeated use in beekeeping environments, offering durable performance. Performance: provides dependable tensioning and crimping results with a retractable feature to manage wire slack. How it works (overview) Thread wire into the frame area and position the tool to engage the tensioning mechanism. Use the crimper function to secure the wire ends and create dependable crimps. Activate the retractor to manage wire length, retract slack, and keep wiring tight as you complete the frame. Use cases Installing wires on frames for foundation support: tension and secure wires quickly to create a strong, wellwired frame ready for foundation placement. Replacing worn or damaged wires on existing frames: remove old wire, tension and crimp wire to restore frame rigidity and service life. Onsite hive setup and maintenance: perform fast, reliable wire tensioning and crimping during field work to keep frames properly wired and ready for use.
