how to remove security tags two fool proof easy methods

[@amandajlemen]

Ty, your video just saved my shirt. I purchased a really nice sweater yesterday while waiting for my mom. When I got home, I realized the cashier, who had been new, hadn't removed the security tag. I was so mad, I didn't want to drive 2.5 hours back to have it removed..... Lucky me, I had a pair of neodymium magnets I use when fencing to keep staples together in my belt bag, and boom! One and done! Thank you!

[@missaliciacarey8275]

It's frustrating when you buy something nice and you get home and realize the big heavy tag is still on it. I appreciate the tip. Thx.

[@nlcovertops4789]

Ah yes, the scientific methods of solving any problem, whether scientific, social or practical. 1. Magnets. 2. Set it on fire.

[@antonhaq3503]

THIS is the video to watch if you are searching for "how to take off security tag"... 100000% times better than any others I've seen today, and I've looked all over for an hour...

[@dkayok]

I got a small set of 6 of the magnets at Home Depot ($7). The tag was very thick on top so I used it on the metal button on the inside of the sweater which immediately loosened up. I had to wriggle it a bit with needle nose pliers. Wonderful! No damage to an expensive sweater. Thanks!

[@cynthiajluciene9677]

I paid for a very expensive blouse I fell in love with at J C Penny's department store. At the time I lived 45 minutes away in horrific traffic to get to the Fashion Square Mall in Torrance so you can imagine my infuriation when I got home and realized the clerk who rang up my blouse neglected to remove the security device. I was determined (stupidly) to get the device off my blouse myself - anything was better than facing that 45 minute drive back to the mall to have the clerk remove it for me. Needless to say, I would have been better off with the headache I would have gotten driving back to the mall - I ruined my blouse because the security device leaked a "ton" of bluish-black ink all over my blouse, ruining it and raising my frustration to levels I thought not possible. I wish I had thought to check videos here on You Tube before I tried the removal myself. As one commenter put it, "Man. You can find anything on You Tube" (or something to that effect)

[@kellycarr3184]

I found myself, sans magnets, at a clothing store that had a pair of expensive jeans adorned with one of these security tags that I couldn't quite afford. No magnets, but I did have a torch lighter on me. Long story short, the clothing store is no longer there.

[@luisbetebcourt]

did you put fire on the store? or maybe they smelled the smell of brnt stuuf,, you almost got caught by the entire police city, yoa moron soon you end up vey bad. dont have money dont buy it, buy it cheaper

[@taylenflood6694]

They never say how strong a magnet.. fauck

[@WILLYNOTWALLY]

Same but didn’t burn the store down. It’s good to take something to smoke with you to take away the smell when doing this in store

[@jodiebaars9905]

Got to say, I didn't have a magnet, but I did the tin foil thing and lit it on fire and it worked like a charm. Bought and paid for two bras stuck together with a security tag. Store was 3 hours from where I live. Thank you so much very helpful. The tag was really small I didn't Even notice it until I went to go put one on. Lol

No magnet, got a lighter and foil. It works!!! THANK U!!

[@2gr8tgirls]

The magnet technique just worked on a security tag with a solidly-built, really long, pointed fastener. It took quite a stack of them but was able to wiggle it gently off. Spent more on the magnets than on the item of clothing haha but it was important for an event tonight. And I’m sure this won’t be the last time someone comes home with one of those things on an item they just purchased.

[@jamescoughlin7733]

[@jonathanbecker8935]

What about using a power drill with foil or plastic wrap of some sort. Also, I was wondering if tags with ink can be placed in the freezer or do they use antifreeze with the ink to lower the freezing temp required.

[@garrettgannon2088]

My wife just received a pair of pants with a security tag attached from an online purchase. Just sort out which side DOESN'T have the ink packets and put that piece in a vice. Then crank it down until the casing breaks open and releases the pin. I wrapped both sides of the tag in plastic as a failsafe. The vise worked like a charm and released the pin without breaking either of the ink vials. The entire process took less than 30 seconds.

[@andreshankle8207]

Used the burning method and it worked, thanks.

[@moneybagyo4873]

YAHAWASHI worked at Walmart?🤨

[@aesthetic_mfr]

Thanks bro. This worked well. I stacked small magnets and barely had enough pull from them to do the job. It took a soft pull to get it to come off. One more magnet and it would have come off easy peasy but hey.. got it at least.

[@gangstapagedielzz5633]

Amazing!! I had the tag off by the time the video was over.

[@marriedkiwi]

a powerful magnet and you have a business.

[@abeautifulfamily8654]

This is awesome because the fools at the store wouldn’t take it off since I lost the receipt. But what shop lifter comes to the store and says hey take this tag off they usually know all these tricks

[@upstatenypatriot6925]

Thank you. Got a sweater shipped and store forgot to take tag off. Lol. I had a pretty strong magnet ( not the type you said) and after a few hard hits, it came off. Saves me weeks of sending back and getting new one.

[@sha9730]

Thank you so much !! Got the tag off my pants using the fire method. Had some jeans I wanna wear on vacation !!!

[@antonhaq3503]

I usually use the plastic bag handle technique until it's about half off and then snip the pin with wire cutters. Always works

[@pamsteinke1643]

What is the name of the strong magnet being used in the video? How strong is the one used in the video? How do you tell how strong the magnet is when purchasing a magnet? Thanks for any and all help!

[@vanessawarren5063]

I just happened to have a very strong magnet. It literally fell off in my hand in about a second. Who knew !!!

[@stevebreezer3525]

I had 2 considerably strong magnets I put them together to make One then applied to the security tag as shown and like MAGIC with a little wiggle the spring released!! 🤠 yeeHaw Thanks for sharing!!

[@chuckmabrey2070]

Thanks! My work light had a magnet strong enough for me to wiggle the tag off in about 5 seconds!

[@jennellezarn3312]

We were wondering where we'd find a strong enough magnet...used your work light trick. Thanks!

[@WILLYNOTWALLY]

Which work light is this?

[@andrewpattinson3281]

I'm going to use the magnets from now on . I get them off using small cutting pliers . I just put a butter knife under the smaller round end to allow the cutters to get under the plastic and just cut away chunks of it till I've removed about half of it and I either cut the pin or it just seperates and falls apart. Can't do this in the open at shops but takes a few min and can be done in the change rooms no problems or just wait Till you're at home to do it

[@pu1317]

Thank youu so much bro this got me a new sweatshirt

[@greenerpastures1000]

Many years ago I bought a suit from a store that was closing. The salesperson missed one of the security and I was never able to get it off. What was the name of the magnet?

[@arnieslab]

greener pastures neodymium magnet

[@maryannlane3772]

During the pandemic, I did a lot of on-line shopping, and got some items with the security tag still on it, one was a suit also. Glad to learn how to remove it.

[@Danechip]

Someone here in the UK did the burning trick in the Matalan store before leaving with said garment. Matalan had to be rebuilt. (Grimsby).

[@reginamoody7720]

hi, we purchased some wholesale clothing in a lot and about 25 of them have these type of security tags, I reached out to the wholesaler and they weren't any help. Do you know the pound size of the magnet you used? Some say 25# and some up to 500# so thought I'd ask. thank you so much!!

[@larzwilcoxen1943]

How many pounds does the magnet need to hold

[@cherrellegoodsell2293]

What strength of magnet should I use what’s the best strength to use in order to get this done I have a piece of clothing just sitting in my stuff I haven’t been able to wear I’m about to buy these just need the size I should buy of the magnet

[@NatNat4Tally]

Great video I have these magnets. Now if you could only teach us how to reattach clothing tags in case we prematurely cut them off? 😉

[@allisonovo]

just poke it back through the shirt and pop the tag back on to the screw part and then it’s locked again

[@jasonalexander4565]

Melt the plastic tag holder back together with a lighter or something

[@Reallynotnick]

Thanks, dang Gap shipped me one of my shirts with this on and I don't live near a store.

[@Downs-Indroam]

"You deserve not to be able to drink it" Very presumptuous statement bud.

[@nicktheavatar_]

I just used the burning technique but the spring never appeared and took a lot longer to burn off. I had to burn literally half the tag (and it took about 15 min) and focus on burning the part where the spring is, using a lighter and was eventually able to pull it off after burning it long enough

[@ginaluster9207]

This method took less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much for your video!!!!

[@pluviophile3826]

Does the security alarm works if we have a magnet in hands?

[@tayloreason5557]

Didn't have a magnet so I had no choice to do the fire method it worked but mine didn't have a spring in it flat black thing that it was stuck into I ended up pulling it out of the melt security tag and wiggled the pen of from there. I was nervous but it I got it done thank you so much

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

This 100% may, or may not, have totally worked! Or, it didn't. If it DID, I would be thrilled! If it didn't, well, I wouldn't be. 😆

[@CLOUDYSKY-YT]

Any Dabbers or people with torches. Use a torch and just torch it hard as fuck. It’ll make it melted and soft. Then hit it like twice with a hammer and it literally pops off.

[@lily-lf7vs]

hate when this happens, especially because you have to go out of your way to wear clothing that you already bought.

[@thectsg1]

1 second...Took my bench grinder to the head of the fastener, ground it off. Literally 1 second, if you don't count the 5 seconds it took for the grinder to spin up...

[@flyerboybob]

It took me a few seconds to grind off the cap of the head and release the spring inside so that the "gripper" could slide back and let go of the pin. With a little practice, I know I could compete with thectsg1!

[@flyerboybob]

A grinder isn't really necessary. You could use some coarse sandpaper or a file, but then it will take a few minutes instead of a few seconds...

[@rebeccaaldrich3396]

You can also just cover the beeper with tin foil and take it off at home. Getting caught with a magnet inside the store can be classified as a burglary if you get caught doing anything suspicious.

[@bringoutmyterrible]

That is 110% absolutely not true at all.

[@sukhjitamaze5205]

Thank you it worked for me…. I lost receipt and store wont take it off without receipt

The crazy thing is it's literally just a cheap magnet! however, crazy as it is, Amazon sells this "sensor remover" thing (just a giant version of a magnet, I work at Victoria's Secret and we had the same one for an extra but it was stolen lol) and it's ridiculously over 70$!!!!!!!

Yeah, if you're pretty sure there's no dye, just smash it with a hammer. Save your time. Wish I did.
