Post by: Oldbeavo on March 10, 2020, 07:31:46 AM

Hi Folks
I don't seem to be able to source a Maxant hive tool in Oz.
I need something better than what is sourced out of China, too much banana juice in the steel. they bend.
Could you please recommend a supplier in the US that would ship some to Australia.

Thanks

I think Mann Lake ships to Australia. Try looking in your hardware stores for a stainless steel hive tool. A lot of stores around here carry them and they are plenty strong enough. I have never bent one. The ones that I have are blue.

It isn't Maxant, but have you tried this one?
