Quarti Beehive Frame Wire Crimper 

Retighten loose frame wire and prepare reusable timber frames for fresh foundation with the Quarti Beehive Frame Wire Crimper from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

Made by Quarti Italy, this tool allows you to take up slack in existing frame wire rather than automatically rewiring a frame after the old comb has been removed.

Grip the loose wire between the two crimping wheels and draw the tool along the wire. The crimping action tightens the existing wire so the frame can be prepared for new foundation.

Reuse Existing Timber Frames

When an old comb is removed from a wired timber frame, the wire may no longer have the tension required for new foundation.

If the frame itself remains suitable for continued use, the Wire Crimper provides a practical way to retension the existing wire.

This can save the additional work of removing and reinstalling wire where crimping can restore sufficient tension.

Simple Crimping Process

Using the tool is straightforward.

Place the loose wire between the two crimping wheels, close the tool onto the wire and draw the crimper along its length.

The wheels create a crimped pattern in the wire, taking up slack as you work along the frame.

Once the wires have been retensioned, the frame can be prepared for new foundation.

Durable Grooved Metal Wheel

The crimper features a durable metal wheel with deep grooves.

These grooves engage with the frame wire during operation, allowing the wheel to grip the wire as the crimper moves along it.

Solid Locking Plastic Handle

The tool is fitted with a solid plastic handle that locks on and off the wire.

The lightweight plastic handle keeps this Quarti model economical while retaining the metal wheel and working construction required for crimping.

Current Quarti Wire Crimpers are supplied with red handles.
