It's been very successful. Most users are finding it very easy to use
Takes less than 30 seconds per frame, less wax uncapping to deal with, more honey extracted per frame. Highly recommended
Great product, makes uncapping quick and less waste of wax.
It does its job perfectly and it has more reasonable price in comparison with original. Sometimes you still need to scratch patches where capping is too low for disks to cut, but it's the same for an uncapping knife.
It should be mentioned that in reality it's different from what is presented on the pictures, there are compression springs to push rod back instead of nitrile o-ring, which is probably better construction, time will show. Also, rods and disks are made of stainless steel (304, based on A2-70 marking on a nut), not aluminum.
Less wax, tidier kitchen (which is less sticky now during extraction).
Definitely faster uncapping, however it requires more physical efforts to push a frame through the uncapper.
I decided to leave this review because it's not much on Internet, hope it will be helpful to someone
I was looking for something to speed up the uncapping process. Decided to try it and so glad I did. Probably the best investment in beekeeping equipment I’ve made. It’s so easy and so fast. We did about 60 FD frames and all spun well and bees had the stickies repaired in two days like new. So far so happy. Only downside is you hardly get any wax back to make new foundation but the upside of less hours uncapping far outweighs this.
