We’ve had a run of tag misalignments—especially with Zee tags in high-volume sheep work—so the 18cm handle length and manual press on these pliers give you the to seat the tag cleanly without that half-cocked angle that leads to tearing.
Single ear tags and Zee tags both work with the same jaw; you’re not swapping out parts mid-shift, but the anti-corrosion coating is what actually matters when you’ve got copper sulfate footbaths or iodine sprays kicking around chute.
The 450g weight is actually heavier than the plastic-handled versions, but that’s what lets you drive a tag through a beef calf’s ear cartilage in one squeeze—most buyers go with the aluminum alloy anyway because of that it won’t crack in subzero temps.
50 pliers per carton might seem excessive unless you’re running multiple crews, but we’ve found the MOQ saves shiping roughly 30% versus single-unit orders, and the yellow handles make them easy to spot when they drop in a straw-bedded pen.
One thing to note: these aren’t designed for the flex-style flag tags that some rabbit breeders use—the jaw gap is tight enough that you’ll crush the back stud on those, so stick to standerd singles or Zee patterns.
If you confirm stock availability before Wednesday our company can hold the carton for you, otherwise lead time runs about 10 working days—the 450g figure is per plier, but the carton weight with packging is close to 24kg give or take.
Our standard MOQ is one carton of 50 pliers. If you need a smaller sample order first, we can usually accommodate that—just reach out to our sales team.
Lead time is typically 7-15 days for stock orders. For larger custom orders, it can extend to 20-30 days depending on volume.
Yes, we can provide a material test report for the aluminum alloy and a certification of anti-corrosion coating. Just let us know what specific docs you need with your order.
Yes, the T01PLY is designed to work with both single ear tags and Zee tags right out of the box—no extra parts or adjustments required.
Store them in a dry, clean area away from moisture and chemicals. The coating is durable, but keeping them in the original carton or a tool box helps maintain the finish long-term.
