Here is my personal favorite that is similar to yours.

I have used the the Ticked-Off brand on myself and my critters for many years. This simple gizmo swiftly removes the entire tick, head and all. The tick is removed so quickly that it does not have a chance to react and regurgitate into your body, as they are known to do with some removal methods.

I’ve pulled a couple off my dogs and myself. I don’t use any tools, I just very gently start twirling them around and like a circular motion. But as I said very gently so as to not stress or hurt them. After about 20-30 seconds they let go on their own to see what the hell is going on. Works every time

Got a small red plastic one attached to my pack. Looks a bit like a small crowbar, just wish i could find one in metal ;). Just slide it under and pop up, nothing easier. Know a friend who got lyme's due to a tick on a music festival, and it's something i'd like to avoid. ;)
Look at the links below for metal tick removers:

Trippers, ticks are bad here too so I take garlic pills and feed my dog two crushed up daily and in his wet food, one in the morning and one with his supper. Havent had a tick on either of us in a couple years and my wife doesnt complain that I ooze garlic in sweat.

I get mine at a nature store but they are available in alot of places. Apparently garlic has s a lot of health benefits.

I went hiking around Lake Ozark back in June. Got covered in ticks, probably had about 50 on me during one hike alone. Fortunately, I was able to get them all off before any of them latched onto me. If hiking through brush, I always stop periodically to see if I picked up any hitchhikers.
