The tag attacher is constructed such that the pin is directly driven by a lever to push the transverse bar of the tag pin. On the upper portion of the body of the device a feeding knob is provided and a ratchet wheel is driven by means of the knob to feed tag pins onto the axis of the grooved needle successively. Moreover, this tag attacher includes an adjusting element for adjusting the length of insertion of the grooved needle.
