UST Tick Wrangler | Tick Removal Tool

Safe, Complete Tick Removal for the Canadian Backcountry

Whether you are pushing through dense boreal brush, wading through tall prairie grass, or just doing a routine check on your dog after a local woodland hike, a tick encounter shouldn't ruin your day. The Ultimate Survival Technologies (UST) Tick Wrangler is a precision-engineered tool designed to safely and effectively remove ticks of all sizes. Unlike flimsy plastic tweezers that can easily bend or snap in your pack, this tool is crafted from high-grade aluminum that won’t rust or break under pressure.

The most critical part of tick removal is extracting the entire insect, including the head, to significantly reduce the risk of infection. The Tick Wrangler is specifically shaped to grip the hitchhiker right at the point of attachment for a clean pull. It even features a built-in dual ruler (in inches and centimetres) to help you measure the tick and identify the species—a vital step for assessing Lyme disease risks. Complete with a carabiner to clip instantly to your backpack or belt loop, it is a non-negotiable addition to any human or canine first-aid kit.

Key Features

• Complete Removal: Specifically engineered to safely grip the tick at the point of attachment, ensuring the entire insect—including the head—is pulled cleanly.
• Durable Aluminum Build: Constructed from rugged, rust-proof aluminum that easily survives years of being crushed in backpacks or emergency kits.
• Integrated ID Ruler: Features a laser-etched ruler in both inches and centimetres to help measure the tick for easier species identification and risk assessment.

• Human & Pet Friendly: An essential safety tool that works just as effectively on thick canine undercoats as it does on human skin.
