Introducing The AirTag Silencer

Apple made AirTag randomly chirp when bumped or moved when out of bluetooth range of your iPhone. That's great, but if your bike is stolen - the very last thing you would want is for the thief to hear the AirTag and throw it away. That's why we designed The AirTag Silencer - a patented precision tool that helps you disable AirTag's speaker in seconds - all you need is a hammer. Easy to Use - Remove AirTag's battery & set on the baseplate, place silencer, and hit piercer flush with a hammer. Disconnects the coil that powers AirTag's speaker.  Works on multiple AirTags. Invaluable for expensive bikes, camera bags, purses, electronics, backpacks, etc... Anything you wouldn't want a thief tipped off by AirTag's chirp. And its great for pets too - no chirping on their collar in the middle of the night. Also available on Amazon.
