Bee Frame Wire Crimper is an essential tool designed specifically for beekeepers to ensure secure and precise wiring of hive frames. This crimper is built to enhance the stability and tension of wires, making it a crucial addition to your beekeeping toolkit.
How to Use
1. Initial Tensioning: If the wire is slack, manually tighten it using pliers before using the crimper.
2. Positioning: Adjust the crimper at an approximate 80° angle between the handle and the wire.
3. Crimping: Slide the toothed gears along the wire to create a zigzag pattern, which increases tension by shortening the effective wire length.
4. Final Check: Ensure that the frame is ready for wax foundation or reuse in your hive.
