J Hook Orange Hive Tool

The J Hook Orange Hive Tool is a 304 stainless steel hive tool with a J-shaped hook for lifting frames and a flat blade edge for prying boxes and scraping equipment. Heavy-gauge metal gives it a strong, low-flex feel in a thin profile, and the bright orange finish makes it easy to spot in tall grass.
