Lost Brass Cattle Tags

[castlekid]

We have found several youngstock lost tags recently . Never had a problem before . It's the Super Brass ones from Roxan , been no bother at all in the past. Just wondering if anyone else has had trouble ?

Check your tagger it may not be clinching them properly.

Thanks , I've had a look at the pliers , tiny bit of wear , but not sure if that's enough to cause the problem Could really do with some blank tags to try and see how they shut

It doesn’t take a lot for them to misfire.

There a adjustable screw on ours.
Bloody good tags in my opinion

Yes they are good tags , First bit of trouble with them . I think the screw is just a depth stop for the handle to close against , the levers that squeeze the tag are further up I think

Well screw it in abit more the closer together you can squeeze the handles the closer the jaws with the tag in will squeeze it

Thanks , But having had a closer look at the pliers , the adusting screw , just alters the automatic return spring , once the handles are closed the tag is already closed and released automatically . The amount of travel in the jaws is preset with that cam mechanisum
