The ALLFLEX UTT3S is a completely re-engineered applicator from Allflex for modern tagging systems and farm labor today. Requires much less force to squeeze. When applying ear tags, anyone - from young to old, expert to novice - can safely tag animal after animal with less fatigue. 3S proudly stands for: Smooth, Simple, Safe. Smooth: The ALLFLEX UTT3S ergonomic grip requires low force, resulting in less hand fatigue and easier application of multiple tags. Simple: Lightweight and robust with one pin for nearly all applications, including Allflex two-piece tags, electronic tags and monitoring tags. Safe: Designed with reduced pinch points for the user, the UTT3S is also quick and quiet, reducing animal startle reflex Adding and Removing Inserts: The Universal Total Tagger 3S can accommodate Allflex Global (Super Maxi, Maxi, Large, Medium, etc.) Tags with the retention collar, Allflex Tamperproof tags and Insecticide tags. Use the applicator with the black clip and red pin. Apply Allflex Electronic (EID) Tags by removing the black insert from the base of the jaws. Hooking the clip on a metal surface and pulling against it, is the best way to "pop" the clip out of the applicator.
