Mann Lake HD585 Stainless Steel Hive Tool, 9-1/2-Inch

Bought this hive tool because the tool from Mann Lake was recommended and the one shown is photo is branded as Mann Lake. The one I received does not have that mark.

I am an apprentice flooring installer and my bosses are all about quality and instructed me to buy only quality tools. I wanted to find the Red Devil 4050 like the old timers use bit they just don't carry or make the good ones any longer. After hours of search I came across this hive tool (flat bar in my profession) I just received it today and I'm impressed. Not only is it plenty strong for anything I'd do (bending gripper metal up to receive use it being the most strenuous) but the finish and the bevels are ones to behold if you are to also trying to maintain a professional image. Please just stop looking and oder this hive tool.

I'm a beekeeper but this tool has many uses other than bee hives. I own about half a dozen & keep them in many places so they are always near when I need them.

This is my most favorite hive tool out of probably somewhere around 20 different ones! It's just the Cadillac!

Hasn't rusted and has been wet. It's stainless and performs as advertised. Recommend.

Worth every penny! This tool will outlive me as it is very quality and durable. It is the only tool I need to work in my top-bar bee hive.

Very nice tool. Doesnt rust and should last forever if i dont lose it. Should have started out with good equipment and wouldnt have to buy anothet

As a trim carpenter, this is a perfect remodeling tool. Lost my last one so I bought two this time.
