Reach Every Pocket of Honey: OZ Armour Standard Uncapping Needle/Fork
The OZ Armour Standard Uncapping Needle/Fork is a practical honey-harvesting tool designed to help remove stubborn wax cappings and reach areas of honeycomb that can be difficult to access with an uncapping knife. Its sharp stainless steel tines make it easier to work across uneven or recessed sections of comb while helping you get more usable honey from each frame.
The ergonomic plastic handle provides a firm, comfortable grip for controlled handling during honey extraction. Explore OZ Armour for beekeeping equipment, protective clothing, hive hardware and other essentials for your apiary.
Sharp Stainless Steel Tines
The fork features sharp stainless steel tines designed to pierce through wax cappings with precision. The pointed design is particularly useful for reaching sunken cells and uneven areas of honeycomb where a standard uncapping knife may leave cappings behind.
This makes it a useful addition to your honey-harvesting equipment when preparing frames for extraction.
Reach Difficult Areas of the Comb
Honeycomb does not always have a perfectly even surface. Recessed sections and stubborn cappings can make it difficult to remove every layer efficiently.
The needle-style tines allow you to work into these harder-to-reach areas, helping expose more capped honey while keeping the tool easy to manoeuvre.
Comfortable Ergonomic Handle
The fork has an ergonomic plastic handle designed to provide a firm and comfortable grip. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to control while working through multiple frames during an extraction session.
The bright yellow handle also makes the tool easy to spot among other honey-harvesting equipment.
