Choosing frame preparation and cleaning

Separate wire tension from embedding

A crimper takes up slack in installed wire. A spur embedder is for seating wire in suitable wax foundation. Read the tool function and the foundation material before choosing.

Check the frame and box format

A spacer is intended for a particular box and resulting frame count. Measure the equipment and compare the stated count rather than choosing from the word Langstroth alone.

Compare these selections

Department questions

Does a crimper push wire into wax?

It tensions wire. An embedding wheel serves a separate step.

What does 10 to 9 mean on a spacer?

It describes the stated box count and how many frames the tool sets out in that box.

Can an excluder cleaner fit any grid?

Check the slot or tooth spacing and the material of the excluder.
