Safe, Fast Tick Removal for Gardeners & Outdoor Enthusiasts
The Uncle Bill’s Tick Removal Kit is a must-have first aid companion for anyone who spends time in the garden, on the trail, or in the yard. At the heart of the kit is the legendary Uncle Bill’s Sliver Gripper — precision-ground, spring-tempered stainless steel tweezers registered with the FDA as a surgical instrument. The fine-point tips grip even the smallest embedded tick securely, allowing for clean, complete removal without squeezing the body. The tweezers come with a keychain clip so you can keep them on hand at all times.
The full kit packs everything you need into a compact, resealable 4×6 bag: the Sliver Gripper tweezers with clip, a USA-made 5X handheld magnifier, two antiseptic pads, two storage bags for saving the tick after removal, and a color Tick Identification Card to help you identify the species. Pair this kit with a good pair of garden gloves for full outdoor protection.

Follow these steps for safe, complete tick removal.
Step 1: Clean the Area
Use one of the included antiseptic pads to clean the skin around the bite site.
Step 2: Grip the Tick
Using the Sliver Gripper tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Use the 5X magnifier if needed to see clearly.
Step 3: Pull Upward Steadily
Pull upward with steady, even pressure — do not twist or jerk. The goal is to remove the tick intact without leaving mouthparts behind.
Step 4: Clean Again & Save the Tick
Clean the bite area with the second antiseptic pad. Place the tick in one of the included resealable bags in case identification or testing is needed later.
Step 5: Identify the Tick
Use the included Tick Identification Card to determine the species. Monitor the bite site and consult a healthcare provider if you develop symptoms.
