o well.
I just meant honest advice. if spacer tools would be a good idea, commercial beeks would use them. they don`t. in my supers the "spacers" are built into the boxes themselves. that way frames won`t slide around while transporting or removing and adding again of boxes. you might use nails or staples or anything that will fill the space in between the ears of the frames. they will stay put. not crushing capped honey nor crushing bees while handling boxes.
super of mine:

in the last pic you might see the spacing device on the brood frames. look on the right side, about couple inches from the box side. you see a little knob of "shiny" metal nailed to top bar. another one sits further down on the side bar.
the OHTER side of the frame has them, too, just on the other side. this way the combs have the same space in between always. and are easiert to loosen and put together than the normal "Hoffmann"-sides as we call the thicker parts of the side bars, as I think most frames are like in US (and around here mostly, too).
frames with straight side-bars and something like these little knobs are much easier to make than the standard frames. they are NOT glued together, but are indeed much easier to work with.
hope that helps.
