You can Google them to see pics of the various types in the images section, some ppl swear by them, i don't see anything special about them just a variation of tweezer I already had the same kind in my beauty bag
I personally use super long tweezers though because I feel more comfortable with those but I don't believe in pulling ticks out...
1. a rubbing alcohol pad whipped over it (or alcohol poured carefully-might ting your dog)
2. and then either Vaseline, soapy water it will pull it self out
3. and I grab tick with tweezers to put it in a jar-Lyme test at vets on the extracted tick
