I modified my Maxant chain uncapper with the modifications outlined at
beesource.com - actually had Maxant make it for me.  It's much better, but
still a bit touchy and still tends to uncap on side more than the other, and
mixes/whips way too much wax and air with the honey.  I think there must be
better machines out there.  The hand cranked Handyman Uncapper from Cowan
looks promising.
