How to remove Alpha spider wrap security device on merchandise packages with a magnet

Alpha spider wrap security device removal

Super helpful. Thanks. Just got back from WalMart with a new vacuum. No one took it off, no one batted an eye when I walked through the exit and it chimed. To be fair, they did jump on the guy behind me so it's not like they were lazy, but now that I'm home with this thing I realize it was me who set it off. Thanks to you, I got this off.

I bought a new printer from Target the other day and they left this thing on. I didn’t set off any alarm leaving the store, but there it was still on my printer box. Wasn’t really sure what it was. Grabbed a simple pair of scissors and easily cut one of the wires, at which point the alarm started going off. Not real loud but annoying. After laughing for a minute, I took it out to the garage, hit it a couple of times with a hammer, picked up the pieces and threw them away. Old school style I guess... 😆

You can also just use scissors or wire cutters then use the wire to swing it and smash it against the ground to make the alarm stop ( former Walmart employee )

"Walmart hates him because of this one simple trick!"

Thank goodness this video exist I bought a controller recently and they put the product in the bag and after paying at the checkout the barriers beeped. The security guard asked me for my receipt which I showed him as well as the product but we both didn’t realise to go back to the checkout to get the tag removed. Thank you!!!!

This guy definitely didn’t pay for that.

A fun tip for the newer shop stock lifters. Bring an empty box in to the store with you but make sure to have the box upside down so it looks closed and sealed. After using your trusty magnet skills place these items in the empty box, finally use tape to tape the box closed. This is a way to leave a store with items far too big to hide in your pants or pockets. My favourite box to use is a coles doritos bags box as they are huge and can fit about half a metre by half a metre! Have fun and don’t get caught.

Cue the Spider-Man music.

Spider-wrap, Spider-wrap,
It won't work, it's a piece of crap.
Spider wrap it everyday,
And they'll just steal it anyway.
Oh yeah!
Piece of crap Spider-wrap.

Excellent tips for the thousands of folks who recently "acquired" merchandise with these devices! I am sure they procured such belongings legitimately after completing the necessary purchase and paying the applicable sales tax.

Love this video you made Bill, never know that with a strong magnet you can move the security seals from items, nice to get informed by now..

I'm just here bc the store employees forgot to remove the spider wire when I purchased a tv.

Not for taking stuff from stores but if u put tinfoil around it the alarm won't go off

Well, this explains the Alpha spider wrap I found in a shopping cart outside of Walmart finely.

I remember when I was growing up we never worried about this. I used to walk in and grab a sodapop, a pack of baseball card's, a bag of chip's and a lollipop for $1.29....





Nowadays there are camera's everywhere.

Having worked for Walmart and finding out about neodymium magnets, I've come to realize how pointless some of the security measures are at Walmart and other retail companies who use similar security measures.

"This is not for taking things from stores." thank you for blessing the Earth. My man you are ready and abled Carpenter but I'd say more like architect.

[jenniferclark]

Bill, I hope you are able to get past the rudeness of some of these comments posted. Thank you for making this video for us all.
