Just saw this. Do they work? Looks like you could pull finishing nails out of baseboards too.
Tick getter?

It's the same general concept...I hate ticks.

Ha! I made my own last summer out of a thin strip of aluminum. Use it to pull ticks out of my dog.

So a super-micro claw hammer would work too?
I hate ticks, I hate chiggers worse.

We had something like that when I spent a summer doing forestry work in Oklahoma. We would sit around drink beer and detick each other like a bunch of drunken chimps grooming each other. I'm sure it was quite a sight. It worked pretty well but I don't think it worked any better than fingers. The advantage of course is you don't have to touch the nasty little things.

My smuggle-in jail tool kit...
...has three inch Chinese knockoff Vise-grip locking pliers that work. Leave a very nasty hickey, I bet.

Theoretically you don't want to squeeze em or get their feces on you.
I used to slather Campho-Phenique around my cuffs , ankles and wrists and neck. Kept the chiggers out, and never had a tick.
"Hey, is that a Deer or Dog tick?"
"Pass the cocktail sauce please".
"Hey, is that poison oak!!?"
