I too bought something and they just randomly forgot to remove the tag. It felt super weird looking up this, like I have to tell Google "I swear I'm not a thief."

This helps alot. I bought swim wear years ago from a bargain store in evening Market and got two bottoms that has that security tag. Don't want to bother going back so I I just keep it in my closet. Now I can have it remove. Thank you.

When you go shopping always bring a strong magnet for discounts.

Thanks for the post. I bought a strong magnet because it was easier than returning to the store, but it didn't work on my tag which looked like yours. I am totally able to hear the magnetic field move something inside which makes a distinct click, but no amount of fiddling has produced a separation of the pin and receiver. I bought my garment in a grocery store at self-checkout and didn't notice it had a tag and also it didn't set off the store alarm, so I was unaware of the tag until I got home. Since I have the receipt, I'll have to go back to the store to sort it out. I wanted a strong magnet anyway because I tinker and it looks like you do too. Have a great tomorrow!

One day, as I shopped in the local mall, just about every shop's security system was triggered as I walked into and out of them. It had me (and shop staff) rattled. I had nothing in my pockets. My wallet scanned OK, my phone scanned OK. Eventually I worked out what was going on. A few days before I had purchased a belt for my trousers. It had a cloth type barcode label on the inside that I didn't bother removing. Turns out this label had some sort of RFID device in it that hadn't been 'deactivated' by the store staff.

Thank you!! I had a super strong magnet on my fridge that my son just had to have a couple years back. I watched a fork video first, then a fire video. When I read your title I was so happy! 🤣 I was not trying to use fire. Or ruin my expensive silverware.

My favorite part is that they put the security tag on something that can just be cut off with scissors.

Do you have a link possibly towards the magnet

This happened to me on a pair of boots but i didnt have a magnet, i filed down the side where he used the magnet and then used toe nail clippers to pull out the spring and other small parts inside and then it just popped off.

Thank you !!Thank you!! 🙏 It worked like a charm on my Jeans!! I'm so happy! Lol Saved me a trip back to Kohls. 😊 I ordered them online and can not believe they would forget to take the security tag off. Ugh

That's just so Not the tag being left, but the "hack" to remove it. If that had happened to me (without knowing what to do now), in my "overkill" way of doing things I would have taken my dremel and used a cutoff wheel on that! This should bring you at least 100, 000 hits! Well done!

I think I'll buy a ton of magnets and sell them at Walmart's parking lot. :)

Hi could I have more details on the size of the magnet I've bought so many and have to keep sending them back because they don't work my friend had a shop and it closed so have a lot of clothes to sell but quite a few off the bits have tags on her can't find the remover do far I've bought about 5 and had to send them back kind Regards Lisa

[fdeadlycommasir]

Thank you! Sad that they have to put these on $3.00 items at the thrift stores.

[thatsaurorable]

Most people I know do. (have powerful magnets on hand) It's my first time getting the tip from this channel. Thank you nice man in the video!! shared where he salvaged it. more people will see their value and the conveniece of having one around.

[just_in_time]

lmao, that happened to me once . Wish i knew that trick back then and a stronger magnet. I struggled! good video!

[aprilrain]

Most people don't have a powerful magnet on hand. 😐😑

I watched 3 videos on how to get the security tag off before I came across yours. I heard them talking about cutting it off with a knife, burning it off, even ink in the mechanism. I knew there had to be an easier way to do it. Everyone should have a good magnet. I got a magnet off amazon to find a screw I dropped in the grass that was a rare size. After I got it it took 2 seconds to get the tag off.

Just watched a video that showed a guy ruin a kitchen towel, foul a ceramic knife and inhale black smoke from burning plastic. I tried a very strong magnet from an ABS wheel sensor...not quite strong enough. I ended removing the plastic dome-shaped end by gently crushing it until it broke away. The locking mechanism sprang out after picking at the broken plastic. It worked, but with worry about an ink bomb going off. Tnx de Detroit, dit-dit.

For anyone who doesn’t have a magnet, the back of a hammer works to pry it off as well. The part of the hammer that pulls screws will just as easily pull the tag pin. Hope this helps someone. Do NOT use the hammer if it has ink in the tag though!
