Has anyone seen this extractor, or used it? What are the pro's and cons of a Radial Extractor?

Thanks

Ron:

I have owned this extractor and know many people who have the same one. It was a good extractor but I traded up and got a larger one.
My biggest concern is that it has some sort of mirrored finish on the outside that started to rust after a few years of use. I am only talking small spots but still concerning.
My preference are the extractors sold through Dadant.

I would love to extract at least 4 medium frames at one time, and 6 would be even better. Radially or Tangentially is one area that I really do not know much about. I like the idea of not having to rotate the frames in the Radial extractor.

I like the Ranger Hand Crank Extractor, does anyone in this area ust that model?

I think the best thing about the radial extractor is that u dont have to flip the frames around...which saves alot of time. I have a 8 frame radial and i really like it.
