Small Turkish Hive Tool

Good

The tools are good quality. It’s to cold here in Colorado to use just yet.

One of the best hive tools that I have used!

I like the compact size and the notches work perfectly for lifting up frames. The notches seem to provide more surface area against adjacent frames, and it does less damage to the frames the the j-hook style lifters that don't have the notches. This tool is also easy to hold in your hand while inspecting the frames if you don't have to have to put the tool down first. The steel used is magnetic, so I am able to use a magnet to hold it in place on the side of my hive stands which keeps it convenient for use. The only thing lacking on this hive tool is a bump out on the scraper end like the large turkish hive tool that allows you to get leverage between frames to first break the propolis apart before lifting them up. I really like the J-Hook Mini too, if this small turkish hive tool had the same bump out at the scraper end as the J-hook mini then it would win hands down. This one is a little larger than the j-hook mini.

Looks good can't wait to use it.
