We have used cappings scratchers to extract 1,000 hives in the past and are
considering returning to it.
 
We purchased both sizes of the Hackler Honey punch several years ago and
concluded that , yes, we could uncap with it, but that it was so slow and
difficult to use (it keeps getting loaded up with honey and wax) that we
could not use it economically and they sit in a cupboard, unused ever
since.
 
Offers, anyone?
