Abelo does pretty much the same but shallower strainer tray. with the plus of having a spike for uncapping, which when doing small amounts is a real aid. Its about 60squid including postage.

Both collection tanks are far too deep for the amount of uncappings.

Both are overpriced bits of plastic in my opinion...but then most bee equipment is.

I specifically liked the bee equipment one because once uncapped you can sit up to 6 frames inside it. I had discounted other cheaper uncapping trays because they didn't have this feature. Good point about the spike. That indeed would be useful I suspect

I believe the bee equipment one
can also sit inside itself and has a lid to go on top which means things will be stored at inside. I suspect the abelo one will be the same.

I agree about it being overpriced though. It's a couple of storage boxes at the end if the day.
