Fly Tag Applicator Doubles As Remover
 ✖  |
"As a veterinarian, I'm always looking for ways to save time. I've come up with an attachment for conventional ear tag pliers that lets me remove an old tag and apply the new one at the same time. It eliminates the need to carry a knife or other attachment to cut off the old tag," says Dr. R.C. Ebert II, of Pleasant Hill, Mo.
The attachment is a notched steel block equipped with a pair of blades. You hook the attachment on the button of the old tag and pull it toward you to cut off the button. Then place the new tag between the jaws of the pliers and squeeze the tag on.
To attach the block, Ebert uses a drill to make a pair of holes in the pliers and then screws the block on.
