2-Pack Honey Uncapping Needle Rollers with 2 Cleaning Brushes
Product description
Durable build: Each uncapping roller is constructed with a sturdy plastic body and fitted with a solid wooden handle for comfortable, long-term use. The hardened needles are designed to penetrate cell cappings without tearing the comb structure.
What's in the box: You receive two uncapping needle rollers plus two cleaning brushes—enough to keep a backup while you work. Roller dimensions: 12.6 in × 3.94 in (L × W). Brush dimensions: 11.81 in × 2.75 in (L × W).
Ergonomic use: The contoured wooden grips reduce hand strain and help maintain control during extended uncapping sessions. Roll the needle head gently across the comb face to open cells for extraction with minimal damage.
Cleaning and upkeep: The set includes two brushes to clear wax and propolis from the roller and comb areas. Rinse the roller and brush in warm water after each use; the brush bristles reach corners and hairlines for thorough cleaning.
Protecting the hive: The needle-style uncappers remove cappings and propolis while leaving most of the wax foundation intact, allowing bees to repair and reuse comb more quickly between harvests.

Excellent uncapping roller
This roller speeds up uncapping and is simple to use. It leaves the wax mostly intact so the bees can rebuild and it’s safer than using a fork or hot knife. I handle about 20 hives and these work very well for me.

Arrived broken
Both rollers came with snapped prongs. Very disappointing—poor quality control.

Cuts uncapping time dramatically
Dropped my uncapping time by over half and left cleaner frames when finished.

My new go-to uncapping tool
First time trying it and I’m impressed. It pierces fresh comb cleanly for easy extraction. Older brood combs can gunk it up but it scrubs off easily. Make sure to tighten the nut before starting or it may separate.

Watch for a loose fastener
I liked the tool and it made uncapping quick, but the bolt kept loosening during use. Despite that, I would buy it again after securing the hardware.
