About O'TOM

"In 1994, Denis Heitz, a french veterinarian, developed his own tick removal tool from a nail. After successfully testing his prototype he patented his invention in 1995 and created his first tick remover hook made out of plastic. Furthermore, he established the brand H3D. In 2004, the first silicone grip Tick Twisters were created. By 2006, the Tick Twister is sold in 30 countries including France, UK, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, the USA, Australia and Norway. Nowadays, the O'TOM Tick Twister is a must-have accessory for those who enjoy outdoor activities."

"1. Choose the most suitable hook according to the size of the tick.
2. Engage the hook by approaching the tick from the side until it is held.
3. Lift the hook very lightly and turn it. The tick detaches by itself after 2 or 3 rotations."

Review


I think the O'TOM Tick Twister are great. They offer a quick, safe, painless and complete removal of ticks from pets and humans. It is also good that they are nice and small and therefore fit in every pocket to take along. In addition, they are easy to get as you can buy them in most pet shops, veterinary clinics, pharmacies and online stores. As they are indefinitely reusable they are well worth it and an absolute must-have for everyone who enjoys being outdoors with their pet.
