5.0 out of 5 starsWorks well, have it in a small travel bag. Wish these these were sold locally, when you need one.

No sure if you could put this in your wallet, basically a strong concave piece of thin metal with a tight V to slide under the tick and gentle over a few minutes pry the tick off. Ticks secrete a latex like glue to hold themselves on, you want to pry allowing a little time for it to peal, give way. The metal has to be very thin to get under the tick and this is, and I suggest you read the instructions well and not look at the photos of "use" in the ad as it's somewhat misleading, the photo seems to be taken as to show off the tick, not the correct use.
Also, these devices are not 100 percent effective, I think I read they are rated at around 70-75 percent? This is still a whole lot better then what they rate tweezers or another method, basically nothing is 100 percent in tick removal.
As for use, I tend to slide it in at a slight angle from the back of the tick at first, ensuring the back bulk of the tick is in the point of the V resting on it. I straighten it up as I slide it under so the whole body aligns with the device and slow over a few attempts pry it off. The method may vary I guess depending on the size? The ones we have dealt with have been fairly large.
I had a small plastic case I put it in with the paper work. It might fit a large pill bottle for storage.
Also added a small cheap $1.00 squeeze bottle with cap filled with alcohol to use over the bite, to,clean the tool after washing, to sterilize the hands as you want to make sure not to have touch or transfer any substance from a removed tick.
