I've been grafting queens for the last few years with a Chinese tool.

I'm not an awesome grafter but with a take rate of 60% to 70% I do ok enough to make enough decent queens.

Maybe I buy awful cheap tools or they are just fragile but I do find the tools fall apart after a while. It is winter, that well known time when beekeepers buy crap they don't need from the Internet.

My question is - what another tool would people recommend, just so I can play with it next year.

Thanks in advance.
