Great review. The voice over/narration works great in my opinion. With any of those plastic honey gates which work great. I recommend changing the plastic bolts out for regular bolts. I have had several of them break with me after a couple of years of use.
I have one but made changes to it . I secured the top to the bottom with stainless screws and used food grade silicone sealant and seal the outside . I leave the queen excluder grate in place and then place the fitted strainer on the top section. The grate holds the screen up . I also installed a flat rubber seal on the inside the lid in order to keep insects out (if there is any ) . I also installed legs to the tank to make it at the right comfortable height for uncapping frames . This thing is very durable.
I purchased one of these tanks after seeing a video someone made of The Hive Life Conference. Can't wait to try it out this summer. The quality looks excellent.
I have 2 of these uncapping tubs. We fill one sometimes with wax cappings while uncapping. The filter shown is a horrible idea in my opinion. Not much cappings make it through the grate and we filter when spigot is opened, as its goes into the bucket.
I am not a comb honey guy. Gus Mitchell would have a good idea. He likes it for the speed, and uniformity of the cut so they all fit the containers perfectly. He also mentioned he has some help from time to time and the help can still cut them straight with this. I would guess a dozen or 2 of comb supers would be good for this thing? I don't really know
Popular wood has a nice smooth surface when compared to other inexpensive types of wood. I used Popular to build a piece to cut soap bars, its also used for wheelbarrow handles. I believe Pierce makes some excellent equipment but the innovation does cost more.
It’s a very nice uncapping tub. I used to use something similar Homemade but not nearly as nice. I think Pierce are really trying to make beekeeping products for Beekeepers, not just something close enough to maximize profit. Buy once cry once 😂 Quality pays for itself.
i got one of these tanks last year, and was very happy with it! very sturdy, easy to clean up with just a hose. you can stack frames in the grooves on the top to stage them for your spinner, but they will likely fall over while uncapping your next frame on the screw though. mine came with more of a wire rack for the wax separator, but worked just fine. i did make one mistake though... when letting my bees rob out the remaining honey from the wax, i left the 2 stacked on top of each other, which resulted in alot of bees getting in the bottom and dying, which wasnt very good, so dont do that :(
If only it would hold the frames. You could pull frames haul them inside they could drip down or after spinning load it up and take back ugh . Just one design improvement would have made this such a multitasking piece of equipment.
That is definitely the best way to save money on these things. We are already working on the best variety of deals in North America for beekeepers of all sizes! Thanks for your continued support Dave Rowden!
Great review. Yes. Straining and filtering are different. I prefer the more gentle method of gravity as opposed to centrifugal force. I've read that whipping air and slamming it into the wall changes the flavor because it oxidizes it on the molecular level. ....but the general public doesn't get my top shelf stash. Only family and friends. I'm on the orange flow in Central Florida. It's just starting now. And I'm a big fan of poplar wood, too. I'm a carpenter by trade when I'm not being a human stinger target.
It's a delicious jar of honey? What about the honey in it? I mean honey has gotta be tastier than a jar 🤣 On a more serious note I did order the Pierce queen grafter that I saw on several Hive Life Conference videos. Can't wait to give it a go :D
Awesome video Kamon! I saw you using this to demonstrate the uncapping tool, and was hoping you would show this more in another video. Have a great week!
K&L, great video. I really like how Kamon used his professional voice for the narration. With Laurel’s great camera skills the two of you could be producing content for TV.
I bought one of these used 25 years ago and still use it today. I do not use the straining cloth though, mainly because I never had one for it. I just use a straining bag in a bucket that I drain the honey from the bottom tank into before putting the honey in my bottling tank.

Thanks Randall! Great tip on the bolt exchange!

Pierce has some really nice well made products. Great demo guys.
Thanks Jeremy!
Good review!

@@jasonmartinez9007 Thanks for the info. I will keep it in mind.
Horrible idea or just unnecessary Jason?
Can’t wait to put mine to work.
Looks like Pierce makes some quality products. I really enjoyed your video on the comb cutter and now this product. Amazing!
Thanks Rob! Even though the product isn't for everyone, it is very cool to see quality new products made for the beekeeper!
@@kamonreynolds How many colonies would you say this would be perfect for?

Everything is expensive now. Might as well buy to last and/or resale value
Miller Bee supply has them for $142+- . Dadant and Mann lake don’t carry this type .

Thanks for the feedback and experienced tip!
I agree! Straining is not filtering!!! God Bless!!!

Looking forward to testing out that tank. That honey sure looked good.
What is the hives for heroes shirt about??
It is an organization for helping vets thru beekeeping. I spoke for them earlier this month and i got this cool shirt 👍
Looks like a nice product.
Thanks for the review. I think I will buy one at Hive Life Conference next year.

Kamon , thank you so much for your reviews! Looking forward to attending the Expo in Louisville Kentucky!

LOL! Let me know what you think of it Lagrange!
@@kamonreynolds It will be my very first year grafting. REALLY excited to give it a go :D You can be sure I'll make a video on it :)
I have one, and screwed the simple harmony farms uncapper to it, works perfect.
Good to know it will work with that unit! Thanks Brian hope you are well!
Kamon, Great Video. Thanks for the show. Craig Fr. VA.
Have to admit, I was almost at the end before I realized it was a voice over. Craig Fr. VA.
It’s very durable . Store inside a closet or inside the honey shop out of the sun . It’s at an affordable price and will last a lifetime.
Beats buckets and paint strainers! like the hot knife too.
Kamon, thanks!! Great review.
Where do you get those honey jars?
Looks like a great product!
Awesome stuff here. Thanks Kamon
Looks like a great uncapping tank.
Thanks for the great review.
Awesome video Kamon! I saw you using this to demonstrate the uncapping tool, and was hoping you would show this more in another video.
Have a great week!
Thanks Scott take care!
Do you replace the strainer/filter every use? looks like a well built item.
Hi Russell! If you don't use it for a while just clean it out and store. Should last years.
K&L, great video. I really like how Kamon used his professional voice for the narration. With Laurel’s great camera skills the two of you could be producing content for TV.

What frame size is recommended for this uncapping tank, I seen some others which have a frame recommendation.
This one works for deeps mediums and shallows to uncap into. However, it does not have a way to hold the frames in the tank
I bought one of these used 25 years ago and still use it today. I do not use the straining cloth though, mainly because I never had one for it. I just use a straining bag in a bucket that I drain the honey from the bottom tank into before putting the honey in my bottling tank.
Hey Basspro120! Hope you are doing well!
You never said anything about the price, is it ordered from the manufacturer or through a dealer? Food grade plastic? Thank you for your review .
$187.90 through Pierce website
The price??
We don't talk about that.
It's depressing.
@@burleybeeyard whaaaat???
@@B3RG3RS0N I could make one out of that poplar wood instead...
At triple the price.
