Our new Easy Squeeze applicator is designed to apply Shearwell's BOS tag range: flag tags and buttons. With a unique and patented design, the Easy Squeeze gives a 1.6 times mechanical advantage, allowing you to apply force with significantly less effort, saving you time and energy. Both Flip-Pin and Fixed Pin versions are available.
Trust the Easy Squeeze to take the strain out of your tagging process!
• Comfortable for extended use: Designed to reduce strain. Provides lasting comfort, making long tagging sessions easier on your hands.
• Ergonomic, non-slip design: Textured powder-coated handles provide enhanced grip, no pinching, and a perfect fit in your hand.
• Lightweight yet durable: Constructed from high-quality aluminium for easy handling without sacrificing strength.
• Hardened steel pin for long life: Built to last, with a spare replacement pin included for added convenience.
• Deep jaw for all animal sizes: Effortlessly tag young or adult animals, including those with larger ears and those that need retagging.
Select between two Easy Squeeze options to suit your tagging style:
• Flip-Pin Easy Squeeze – Designed with a patented slide-and-flip mechanism, the pin flips away only after tagging, helping prevent torn ears if an animal suddenly moves its head. Unlike other taggers, it won't flip prematurely.
• Fixed Pin Easy Squeeze same great design but with a standard fixed pin.
