The current extractor thread is a perennial topic, covered extensively in
the archives.

The plastic extractor offered by Dadant (possibly others) whch just received
a positive review from [log in to unmask] has been panned by others.  Reason
being lack of durability.  Extractors can be subjected to quite a bit of
force, expecially if they aren't properly loaded/balanced.  It was opined
that the plastic extractor, althou a good financial bargain, does not hold
up to the stress over the years.  I have no personal experience.

Aaron Morris - thinking there's gold in them thar archives!
