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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete Removal:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically engineered to safely grip the tick at the point of attachment, ensuring the entire insect—including the head—is pulled cleanly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurable Aluminum Build:\u003c\/b\u003e Constructed from rugged, rust-proof aluminum that easily survives years of being crushed in backpacks or emergency kits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIntegrated ID Ruler:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a laser-etched ruler in both inches and centimetres to help measure the tick for easier species identification and risk assessment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIncluded Carabiner:\u003c\/b\u003e Comes with a lightweight carabiner so you can clip it directly to the outside of your pack, zipper pull, or dog leash for instant access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHuman \u0026amp; Pet Friendly:\u003c\/b\u003e An essential safety tool that works just as effectively on thick canine undercoats as it does on human skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBest For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Terrain:\u003c\/b\u003e Tall grass, dense backcountry brush, wooded deciduous trails, and backyard gardens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Effort:\u003c\/b\u003e Day hiking, hunting, camping, and routine pet maintenance after outdoor activities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Conditions:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring, summer, and autumn adventures across Canada when tick activity is at its absolute peak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Grade Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIdentification Tool:\u003c\/b\u003e Dual ruler (inches and centimetres)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/b\u003e Carabiner (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Pocket-sized \/ Ultra-compact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e Ultralight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45419139629113,"sku":"210000003329","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/3251\/2825\/files\/fmh4xvsxdhg50ngz27gp.jpg?v=1769762000","url":"https:\/\/3mile.ca\/products\/ust-tick-wrangler-aluminum-tick-removal-tool","provider":"3 Mile Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
