Keep Your Frame Wires Tight: OZ Armour Stainless Steel Wire Crimper/Tensioner

The OZ Armour Stainless Steel Wire Crimper/Tensioner is designed to tighten and crimp loose wire on beekeeping frames, helping keep foundation properly supported during hive work. It is a practical tool for maintaining wired frames and preparing them for fresh beeswax foundation.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, the tool is built for durability and repeated use. Its compact design and comfortable grip make it easy to handle while working through frame-wiring tasks. Explore OZ Armour for beekeeping equipment, protective clothing, hive hardware and other essentials for your apiary.

Restore Tension to Loose Frame Wire

Frame wire can become loose over time, particularly after repeated handling, transport or use. The crimper/tensioner is designed to help restore tension to loose wires so they are taut and ready for foundation installation.

Properly tensioned wire helps provide a stable support structure for beeswax foundation and honeycomb.

Precise Crimping and Tensioning

The tool is designed to crimp and tension frame wire with a straightforward mechanism. This allows beekeepers to tighten loose wires without replacing the entire frame or wiring setup.

It can be particularly useful when preparing existing frames for fresh foundation or carrying out routine frame maintenance.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

The crimper/tensioner is made from premium-grade stainless steel, providing a durable and rust-resistant construction for regular beekeeping use.

The stainless steel body is designed to withstand repeated handling while working with frame wire, wax and other hive components.

Comfortable and Easy to Handle

The tool features an ergonomic design that provides a comfortable grip during use. Its compact format makes it easy to carry in a beekeeping toolkit and store alongside other frame-wiring equipment.

The simple operation also makes it suitable for beekeepers of different experience levels.

Suitable for Standard Frame Wire

The Stainless Steel Wire Crimper/Tensioner is designed for use with standard beekeeping frame wires, making it a useful addition to a frame-preparation setup.

Use it alongside frame wire, eyelets, a wiring bench and a wire embedder when preparing complete wired frames for beeswax foundation.

Useful for Frame Maintenance

Rather than replacing a frame whenever its wire becomes loose, a wire tensioner provides a practical way to bring the existing wire back into shape. This can help extend the usefulness of wired frames and keep them ready for continued hive use.

It is a simple tool to keep available whenever frame wires need adjustment.

Good fit

Good fit, good quality and good price. I have been using an oz armour suit for several years and this one looks like it will serve me for many more. I had a small snag with my order, but your customer service sorted it for me straight away. Great service all round.

Heavy duty and easy to close with the zips combining well with the velcro.

Vraiment tres bien

Vraiment tres bien. Tres bonne protection. legere et fraiche. Il faudrait juste un systeme pliable ou telescopique à la place de la languette dure à mettre dans le haut du chapeau et que l'on a peur de perdre.

Great suit , highly recommend - see review

Took out my new suit this weekend during honey collection. I’m 5’11 and 230lbs with a broad build and I went with the 3xl. I’m really glad I did. The suit is way big which will allow me to wear ice packs and such under neath in summer and thicker clothes in fall.

As far as the specifics that you may want to know about.

Zippers- love the bigger durable zippers they used. I was in and out of the suit several times over the weekend , not one single snag or catch it was awesome. The zippers glided back and and fourth perfectly with each use. I was initially nervous about the leg zippers , but again they used a great zipper and all your zipper tags will tuck away.

Velcro bandings - around your cuffs of wrist and ankles. They aren’t shitty at all! I was thrilled

The suit itself- I plucked 30 stingers out of the suit over several uses, and not one of them made skin contact. I like to wear muscle or tank tops under my suit and I’m pretty used to getting SOMETHING making contact with me- not once this weekend with this suit, I was really impressed

Pockets & hooks- lots of utility things like this, and your pockets are easy to get in and out of

Price- frankly this worried me the most. At $130 I’ve bought suits that were garbage. Oz got recommended to me through the Reddit beekeeping community, and those who recommended it loved it. I can see why, it’s an amazing suit and with the price point you won’t beat it.

Shipping & comms: I paid my $, they sent me confirmation. Then they sent me shipping info. I tracked it easily, and they shipped it like next day.

I hope this works well when dealing with yellowjackets!

The XL jacket and trousers fit me really well! But, I will need to tuck my jacket into the trousers and wear an extra belt to keep the yellowjackets out. Wish me luck :)

I bought one for me and my friend and we cannot be happier

I bought one for me and my friend and we cannot be happier. We absolutely love the colour but more so we love the protection. Great product great fit hands-down the best be suit we’ve ever owned.

Outstanding Jacket

The jacket is by far the best bee jacket I’ve owned. The quality is great and I especially like how easily the zippers move. I highly recommend this jacket.
