Protect Your Frames and Keep Wire Tension Right: OZ Armour 1kg Bag of Eyelets
The OZ Armour 1kg Bag of Eyelets for Beekeeping Frames is a practical frame-wiring accessory designed to protect wooden frames from wire damage while helping maintain proper wire tension. These small metal eyelets fit into the wire holes of wooden frames, helping prevent the frame wire from cutting into the timber.
With approximately 14,000 eyelets in a 1kg bag, this pack provides a substantial supply for beekeepers preparing or maintaining large numbers of wired frames.
Help Protect Wooden Beekeeping Frames
Frame wire can gradually cut into wooden frame holes when tension is applied. Installing eyelets provides a protective metal surface around the hole, helping reduce this wear and supporting longer frame life.
They are particularly useful when assembling and wiring new frames or maintaining existing frames that need replacement eyelets.
Maintain Better Wire Tension
Eyelets help support the wire holes and reduce the tendency for frame wire to cut into the wood. This helps maintain more consistent wire tension and provides better support for beeswax foundation once the frame is wired.
The result is a more secure foundation setup that is better suited to regular hive handling.
Approximately 14,000 Eyelets per Bag
Each bag contains 1kg of premium-grade metal eyelets, with approximately 14,000 pieces supplied. This large quantity makes the pack suitable for beekeepers working on multiple frames or preparing a larger supply for future frame assembly.
The eyelets are designed to fit standard beekeeping frame holes for straightforward installation.
Simple to Install During Frame Assembly
The eyelets are easy to install into the pre-drilled wire holes of wooden frames before the frame is wired. Once fitted, the wire can pass through the protected holes without directly rubbing against the timber.
Their simple design makes them suitable for both beginner beekeepers assembling their first frames and experienced beekeepers preparing frames in larger quantities.
