I bought this one from Ken when he taught our first aid course and I love it.

I would switch the tick forceps for a Tick Key, or add one. They are better for most tick removals, unless the tick is in a very tight spot, and kids can easily use them. They are also very durable. I’ve had one on my keychain for the last six years and fortunately only ever used it on the cat!
