RE: A design for a DIY tool to safely remove ticks.

in Outdoors and more2 years ago

Looks like a great idea. I bought a tick removal kit that included a little fork with a triangle notch cut out that was supposed to let you pop them out without squeezing. Didn't work too well on the initial one I tried on our dog. It also came with some tweezers that I used successfully. I really like this idea, and am going to be giving my dremel some action to try duplicating.

Sort:  

I've seen that at tool, but it's too flexible to work well. Tweezers can work, if used skillfully, this tool removes the guesswork, and allow you to concentrate on the tick!

I'm glad you're making one, that's why I posted this! The vets still fight over this tool, so I need to make a few more.

I used a grinder on the first one, but the file is safer for a novice to use. The Dremel will do you a good job, enjoy!
