"A specialized device that easily removes thumbtacks from bulletin boards or similar surfaces, securely retaining them, thus preventing them from falling onto the floor.
The device has a handgrip on one end and an adapted slot with an angled projection to slide under the head of the thumbtack on the other end.
The retention slide covers the slot and allows the removed thumbtack to be held in place as long as the device is held upright, allowing the user to remove the tack from the board surface and drop it in your other hand, or in a container safely.
The handle has an area for imprinting corporate logos, promos, and other type messages etc.
The use of the this device allows for the safe removal of thumbtacks in a manner that is easy and efficient, and promotes safety in the workplace, or at home.
