Detailed Description
The Wire Spur Embedder Wheel is a practical tool for installing wax foundation into wired frames. Instead of using heat or electrical embedders, this tool uses a small rolling spur wheel that presses the wire directly into the wax foundation.
As the wheel rolls along the wire, it pushes the wire into the wax sheet, helping secure the foundation to the frame. The wheel moves smoothly across the wire and foundation, allowing beekeepers to complete the task quickly and with minimal effort.
Spur embedders are widely used during frame assembly because they are simple, reliable, and do not require additional equipment. Their compact design also makes them easy to store with other hive tools.
For beekeepers installing wax foundation into wired frames, the Wire Spur Embedder Wheel is an affordable and space-saving tool that gets the job done efficiently.
NOTE: Although this tool can be used when it is cold, its effectiveness is more significant, and it is easier to use when the wheels on the tool are heated before use.
