Thank you! It worked! I got home and realized there was still a tag on one of my shirts and I did not want to drive back to the store. You saved me a ton of time!
To anyone else that sees this use a magnet instead. With a strong enough magnet it will lift the pins on the inside and it will come off. I’m seeing this fork thing all over the Internet and don’t understand why the magnet method is not being shown off more.
@@mikemikemikemikemikemeup because not many people have a random magnet laying around. The point is not to have to drive back to a store hun. I saw that method too though.
I got 2 coats from different stores. Apparently the cashiers and myself were distracted and did not see it when I Payed for them. It was Christmas last year but I didn’t noticed until I was reorganizing my closet. Thanks a lot for the tip. I will try to use this method. Hopefully, it will work for me as well.
omg ur a life safer! thank you. i bought a dress from an online thrift shop and was surprised to find this thing on it. glad that i dont have to throw a beautiful dress away or damage it
Occasionally, the cashier at some factory outlet stores I shop, seems to always miss one or more security tags for removal. Glad I found your video. This saves me a trip from going all the way back to that store. Thank you so much!
I would use my old sets of forks, which I did in this video. Just use it only enough so that you can use another prying device to remove one end of the security attachments.
Thanks.. after 30mins of trying hard, and using all the methods including burning, pulling with plastic bags, 2 fork method.... Finally what worked is a fork and my 100% strength of pulling it....ufff!!! It was from an online store, didn't even have an option visit the store to open this
thank you, thank you, I have had a dress from Florida that I couldn't remove the tag left on by the stupid csshier about 4 years ago. I got it off using your method within 1 minute.
Thanks a ton. I just got a jacket from Puma and saw the security tag. I tried several methods from UA-cam but either they failed or were too dangerous. Your technique of using forks worked
Thank you soo much, this is working very well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, we tried right now 🤩 and we are very happy, because this store was to far away to get back, thank you ❤🙏🏻, we can relax now 😊
They're removed with a strong magnet. I worked at Nordstrom for years and every cashwrap has the silver magnet mounted on the counter that removes them. Btw, there is no ink inside.
If you want quick and easy, use a pair of diagonal cutters. Start cutting away the plastic on the small side (the same side he originally put the forks on). It took me about 4 attempts. The first 2 or 3 were only cutting small pieces of plastic off, and then finally I was able to cut the entire small plastic piece off. That left the metal pin with a head that was too large to slide through the clothing (think of the pin as a nail and the small plastic piece as a washer that also encloses the nail head), so you take the diagonal cutters and cut that head off. It truly is quick and easy. At no point was I thinking I might give up -- I could see continuous progress in my efforts. I suppose everyone has forks though and might not have a pair of diagonal cutters, but an inexpensive one in the $5-$10 range will suffice, you don't need to spend on a more premium one, and you'll likely find other uses for it to justify buying it. In hindsight, it might have been easier to cut off the plastic on the raised part of the large side. With that cut off, a small spring should pop out as well as the piece that holds the pin and 4 small bearings. Of course if you have a strong enough magnet (don't throw away an old hard drive without scavenging the powerful magnet it contains) that would be the quickest and easiest method.
Wow. Thanks. Literally took me like 15 seconds. Got some dye on the jacket but rinsed out easily. I ordered a jacket online and live about 60 miles from the nearest store so this helped a lot. Thanks!!!!
Wow, it worked for me as well! My forks are totally bent and useless now and there is a large hole on the shirt and some ink leaked onto it as well but it was a tiedye shirt anyway so no one notices!
Hey awesome video bro! I can't tell you how much this helped me. I bought a very expensive sports brand track pant , more than $200 and the guy forgot to take out the e tag. I went to the same brand stores in nyc and all of them refused. This was different from their machines it seems. This is bullshit since I went to the flagship store of the sake brand in Manhattan, NY and they couldn't help me out. Anyway your video did the trick. It did almost take me 50 minutes but I did it with 2 forks, just like you showed. And there was no ink in this one too. They lie for some reason, there's no ink in them. I'm traveling to London today and the $200 would've gone to the dump. Thank thank thank so very much. Appreciate it
🖐😳 I almost got it to work but couldn’t take listening to that mind numbing music in my kitchen. Solution? Scissors got that sucker off in 5 seconds! ….and my Johnson loves the new air conditioning!
I bought shorts on vacation and got back home to find a white one with a round top.. I’ve had them for months afraid to wear them anywhere lol I did this and it’s off!!! Ty!!!
Thanks for this video. Your video was inspirational for our quick fix - just cut the pin with sharp diagonal cutters. The local (defunct) Reebok outlet store forgot to remove the tag off the shoes. Just now realized the fault after leaving them in the closet. Cutting the pin works very well.
No ink in this type of tag, its easier to return to a store and get them to remove it, just show proof of purchase. I not, just use a large magnet from an old hard drive or similar strength magnet. Its much much easier and take a fraction of a second not several minutes of fighting. The magnet pulls the catch off the divot / indentation in the pin and they slide apart very easily. Tags with ink generally are more bulbous or at least have the ink pouch more visible as a deterrent, and even these are easily defeated using a lighter or other heat source. In stores with a bakery you will find tags melted and hidden behind areas that are not on camera or with high footfall because the bakery masks the smell of the tag being melted off.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I was worried about that too. I used my old forks that I didn't care if I scratched or bent them. I hope you find a way to remove the security tags.
The trick with these is to use a magnet, but if a magnet doesn't work, because you don't have a strong enough one(I'm guessing that's why a magnet wouldn't work) then this trick should work for most people
Wow I couldn't get 2 forks in between so I ended up cutting it to pieces till I was able to get it off. It would of been nice if somebody mentioned these types don't have ink so I wouldnt of been so sensitive with this darn thing and just pulled hard with no worries
Not the one- mine red, narrow like yours but no distended button- little button that presses down a little - sound icon on same side. Opposite side nothing important on it … So intense
Cold Gravy sent me cargo shorts with a security tag on. I did a hybrid burn/fork. I lit the top notch like a candle and let it burn until the spring and metal container popped out but the four ball bearings remained. I waited for the whole thing to cool down a bit and then tried the fork method on the other side and it all popped. I would easily do this again if it ever happens.
This helped a lot thank you about to go into Nike with 2 forks
Shhhhh? I won't tell.. Happy New Year!

Thank you for watching. Good luck on removing the security tags on you coats.
Same thing happened to me with a pair of jeans bought on line.Using Capt Darrens method got the thing of in about 30 seconds.The man is a genius.
I thought the thumbnail said quick and easy. This gonna get a man caught
omg ur a life safer! thank you.

Your welcome, I'm glad to help out and save time and money to drive back to the stores. Happy New Year!
Helps a lot. It works. Save me the hustle of returning to the store, and being mad at them.
One of my forks got bent doing this but that's okay it manage to pop the tags out. Thank you soooo much

Next time use a magnet. Wiggle the magnet side to side on the bump and slowly pull the small tab.
They're removed with a strong magnet. I worked at Nordstrom for years and every cashwrap has the silver magnet mounted on the counter that removes them. Btw, there is no ink inside.
what zype of strong magnet removes them? can i t be those small magnests
@@farisking8265 It's a silver, circular magnet with a divet in the center. The magnetic force allows the pin to be pulled out from the garmet.
There is ink but only in the big gray ones
@@NoKudos no, there isn't. As I said, I worked there for many years, none of the sensors at Nordstrom have ink. That's an urban legend.
@@NoKudos just had this same one, didn't have the patience for this and just used a bolt cutter, open in seconds - 100% no ink.
Took me a little longer than it should've but definitely beats going back to the store just to get this thing removed, thanks for the vid
Store cashier had one stupid job to do, and couldn't do it . Minimum wage should go down, not up.
You’re my hero! My little girl bought my mom a bag on vacation in Mexico and we needed this today!
Glad it worked out for you. Have a great day!

As you wrote , quick and easy where is the quickness and easiness ??? You were literally struggling to open this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm happy to hear your story. Well, it work! Have a safe travels to UK!
Before I found your video I used the plastic bag method from a different channel. It worked too.
Thank you. Never heard of plastic bag method.
I used a small grinding stone and a cordless drill to remove the top, got the spring and small bearings out, and it came apart
wow this method works! now I'm surrounded by Tescos employees
Just use a carry bag plastic wrap around it and no spill over and open in seconds. It doesn’t destroys and can be reused.
Recebi uma compra pela internet e veio com o alarme! Só consegui com o seu método! Fácil, rápido e sem danificar o produto! Muito obrigada!

great method. I tried it and it wasnt easy. and put a small hold in the gloves . Had to finally remove it with some pliers. Thx

thankyou !!!! saved me time and noneed to go back to store !!!
Thank you, worked like a charm! Used the bread knife xxx
Thank you! Too lazy to drive back to get it fixed.
Had done this in the store and police helped me get it done. He said are you stealing? I said no and left out with free clothes.😂

it works. I ordered a sweater from torrid and it had the small sensor on it. it was annoying but this method did work.

Not so quick and not so easy! It work though 🤗
Me too this helps... Yesterday i bought a pairs of socks and cashier forgot to removed it.
Great method! I can neither confirm nor deny if I put it to work.🤝
Worked in seconds on my wife’s trousers. Many thanks!
Cool Jon, I'm happy it worked out for you!
Removed the tag, rather than the trousers I’m presuming!
@@keefyjohnson4078 yes removed the tag without damaging the trousers
Try with a hummer... super easy!!!!
It worked i be doggone 😂 im so glad i wasnt driving almost 2hr back t beach. Took only 2 mins top
I did it it worked thanks took me a couple of minutes but it did snapped.
Awesome! Glad to help
If it had ink in it it would say it these ones definitely don’t.. information for next time. 😊
This was hard to take off! thank you for the tutorial!
I didn’t want to go back to the store bc I lost my receipt 😩😩
Yeah it was a bit difficult but when you slowly make progress, it will eventually come apart. I'm glad it worked for you.
Either my forks are hella weak or the tag is stupidly strong. It bent both my forks
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I was worried about that too. I used my old forks that I didn't care if I scratched or bent them. I hope you find a way to remove the security tags.
@@DarrenN4VFR Indid, I just slowly sawed the metal peg/pin with scissors and then took two pliers and broke it by yanking them apart.😂
Thank you ! It was very helpful😀
Thank you this was the best method
thanks a lot. i just tried and succeeded. the cashier forgot to open it .
Thank you for teaching kids how to steal merchandise.
actually worked. tried other methods. this one is the easiest. great video!
You passed the last test. Welcome to United Airlines.
fantastic for shoplifting
lol, okay.
When the gap gets too big use a third fork - easy!
Quick and easy you said 😄

Thank you so much ❤
That worked dude. Thanks

Better drive to store that they'll remove, so forks can break, also put hole in clothes, but anyway thank you for your trick.:)
Thanks!

thank you mr for the video, it so useful
I used one fork and it popped right off. Also wrapped a bag around the dye or ink well.
