The popular KW (Kent Williams) design for the hive tool uses the classic hive tool design plus an additional hook for lifting frames easily. The hook acts as a pry bar for lifting frames, using the leverage of the hive tool to get the job done. 
This tool is 8.25" long. 

This is our favorite hive tool with its bright orange color that is easy to see, its comfortable length and strength, plus it's practical design add up to the perfect hive tool.
