Plastic frame wire crimper

Plastic Wire Tensioner and Crimper – Reliable Tool for Sturdy Frames

Lightweight plastic crimper and crimper for quick and precise wire tensioning in frames. Every beekeeper knows that quality wiring is the foundation for secure foundation hive box. If the wire remains loose, the foundation can wave or sag during comb building, resulting in crooked or unstable comb. These special tensioning pliers allow you to easily tighten the wire without tedious re-threading and unnecessary extra work.

How will this tool save you time and trouble?

The crimper crimps the wire in one smooth motion while simultaneously tensioning it to the required tightness. This eliminates manual tightening and, most importantly, you get better quality finished frames. You can then easily embed the foundation into the crimped wire – the crimps increase the contact surface between the wire and wax, so the foundation holds more firmly and stably. You'll appreciate this difference when handling frames, during transportation, and when extracting honey at higher speeds.

Durable Construction and Simple Operation

You'll use this tool especially in the final stage of frame preparation before embedding. Precise metal gear wheels located at the end of the pliers take care of crimping and tensioning. Simply insert the wire between the wheels, squeeze the pliers, and run smoothly along the entire length. The body is made of durable hardened plastic – the tool is lightweight to handle, yet sturdy enough for long-term use. Choose a quality crimper from a German beekeeping equipment manufacturer and prepare your frames so that the foundation stays exactly where it should.
