Abstract: A tag attacher in which pulling a trigger causes a cam plate to be lifted against spring force and a linked cutting edge to be stuck into a connecting bar of a tag pin assembly at the same time that one of the tag pins of the tag pin assembly that is loaded in the tag attacher is driven through a hollow needle; and in which when the trigger is released the spring force lowers the cam plate causing the cutting edge stuck into the connecting bar of the tag pin assembly to pull down the connecting bar so as to guide the crossbar of a next located tag pin to the inlet of the hollow needle. With this tag attacher, it is possible to successively drive tag pins into merchandise if the tag pin assemblies used have different inter-pin pitches. Furthermore, since the connecting bar that has been removed of tag pins and fed out of the tag attacher has notches, it can easily be torn off by hand.
