A hackler punch is used for heather Honey, which you can't get out, without physical influence of the honey. that's why the needles. They are not to scratch with, but the needles have to get up down into the cells. You can use the combs afterwards as usual, because the bees will repair the damage to the combs that might have occurred.

best regards
