Detailed Description

This Stainless Steel KW Hive Tool with Lifter is designed to handle the toughest hive tasks. The long pry bar gives you excellent leverage for separating boxes, while the bent end allows you to strike it comfortably with your palm.

The additional lifter tab makes pulling frames up easier, especially when they’re heavily propolized or tightly spaced. The scraper edge quickly removes burr comb and propolis from frames and boxes.

Made from high-strength 304 stainless steel, this hive tool resists rust and corrosion in all weather conditions and can be easily sanitized between apiary visits. The extra-thick construction provides more strength and leverage than many standard hive tools, making box separation easier and more efficient.

This is a dependable, everyday tool built to last for years in your beekeeping equipment kit.
