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.
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.
@@emmaonthefarm1085 hahaha. So you don't use your flaps. They still in good condition or are they thrashed? Swing em this way, I'll give em a run. Why waste them true, just past it to the next dude.
@@jv-ep2tc you know what does work? The top of a hanger. You just slide the top of the hanger in between the two pieces of the security tag and it gives you enough space to grab the little end. Then you pull the little end and pull the big end with the hanger and it pops right off. Never failed me 300 times. Ink or not. Don't ask how I know or why I'm so experienced.
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!
How would you know if there’s ink or not. I bought a gown. The tag was removed in the store. When I brought it home, I noticed a second tag, that neither sales person nor me noticed at the time of the purchase. I don’t have a strong magnet on hands and I concern to ruin a gown with the hammer. Any suggestions?
@@ingridstrom8373 Usually they would say somewhere on it that it contains ink. If not, it likely doesn’t. I’ve never seen one that didn’t label it if it has ink. I’m not really sure though. Usually, if it’s not labeled, I just pry it off the best way I can if I can’t get it back to the store. If you’re not sure, and you are able to bring it back, it’s probably best to bring it to the store and let them take it off. I’m really sorry I couldn’t be more help.
@@vanillacreole Thank you so much! You’ve helped a lot. I can’t bring it back, since I bought the dress for the wedding three months ago. I had no clue that there’s another tag until I put it on. The worse thing is that store has 30 days return policy, and knowing that I’ll wear it three months later I haven’t saved a receipt. Bring it to the store with tag but without receipt would look like I stole it. But I definitely didn’t. And when I was leaving the store it didn’t beep. I’ll look for the ink info on the tag and take my chances. Thank you again!
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 funny...... 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!
Thanks for the heads up. I was going to use a Dremel as well but got lazy and just stuck part of the tag in a vise and clamped it down, then rotated and clamped it down again and that did the trick to break off the head. It took me less than a minute and did not have to worry about plastic shavings.
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 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.
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. Thanks!!!!!
That is just a regular security tag it has no ink in it so you could have smashed it with a hammer and the shoe would have been fine. The ink ones you can clearly see the ink along with a warning on them saying tampering with them will release harmful ink
I may be wrong about this but the only ones that have ink are the ones that you can see the ink vial, your standard one just has and RFID or some kind of chip in it
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
I had to use this method could with the method of cutting off the tip of the plastic mechanism to remove the spring. After I removed the spring I could use the magnet to unlock.
Man i got so paranoid when i saw that my socks had a security tag when i got home. Yes, socks. What is the world coming to? I bought them at a self checkout, so no cashier was alerted to take it off, the door alarms never went off, and i didnt notice it on there. Now i have to look up videos like this and feel like a thief even though im not.
Things are too expensive and jobs don't pay people enough, that's what "the world is coming to". Might be hard to see from outside of your privilege bubble that people are legit struggling to survive out here.
Thank you! I bought a bra and they forgot to take the devise off. I bought the magnets that were listed in this video from Amazon. It took me a bit to find the sweet spot for it to work, but it worked! I tried the fork method as well and did not work. The magnets worked great! Ty!
Thanks, I keep finding un-done tags around my store...meaning they are now able to just not have to pay! Awesome information that doesn't need to be out there
I have a jacket I ordered because it's a 2 hour trip to my nearest store. They sent it with a security tag. I'm trying to not have to make the 2 hour trip, the whole point for ordering.
Bestie, the video exists because the knowledge *does* need to be out there. It's not actually helpful for shoplifting purposes because the security tag isn't what makes alarms go off.

Oh, well you can usually get 5hem sort with very small screwdrivers or allen key tools...they typically bolt together. Or you can do it the theraputic way and smash them with a hammer until they come apart.
So some of these are magnetically keyed and this won't work. I think I got sent something with a keyed one, because this doesn't work and the tag looks identical. edit: no, it was just broken. I got tired of trying to magnet the thing and crushed it. It was just a regular ball bearing magnet tag. Probably why it got mailed to me with it still attached in the first place, it would have taken a couple extra seconds of effort for them to grab one with a functional tag to remove.
My wife ordered some clothes online from Kohls and they all came with those dam things on. I drilled the backside of them off. I didn't have a strong enough magnet to release the lock. After I removed them I dissected the tags. None of them had dye inside. I know some do, but not all.
I didn't know if there was ink in mine or not but I just assumed there would be and opted not try and pry it off. I was going to go back to the store but a co-worker told me about this trick and it worked.
Exactly what happened to me yesterday thats why am here now. The siren did go off but they double check they could not find anything. Whne i walked out again it did not go off. Lo an behold in my room when I was refitting there it was. Will try your strategy out now
I tried these magnets you suggested for a similar situation I'm in with some MMA style gloves for training. They did not work. Any ideas as to why? Or suggestions for other magnets?
I’m mad I brought this nice sweater and I’m just remembered the lady was talking to someone so I guess that’s why she forgot 🤦🏾♀️ sad part if I don’t have a magnet so ima have to use the fork then lol
Didn't work :( ordered a powerful magnet specifically for this purpose and nothing happened, had to hack it off myself. Would be helpful to know exactly how powerful it needs to be.
I just received my online order. My jacket must have shipped from a local expressed store because it still has the security tag on. 😮 I don’t have magnet at home so I guess I have to drive to the mall to have it taken off wasting gas money and that’s the reason why I order it online so I don’t have to drive to the store.
Thing is I threw the receipt away thinking they took the alarm off my curtains. I just bought a new house so I'm too busy painting overseeing ppl I employed to work for me. Just now I go to remove the two sets of curtains I bought from the bag and one of them has the alarm on it smh 🤬🤦
I just got home 80 miles from the store, & the 2 beanies I bought had these on them ugh. My son got them off with wire cutters, however the ink got on the white stripe on the black one. 🥺
A hammer worked for me 🤷♀️ I also saw someone use a condom by wrapping it around the pin several times…that worked too! 😂 I didn’t have a strong enough magnet on hand.
I went through the trouble of pulling apart an old computer, took the hard drive out, dismantled it, took the magnet out, took me two days and it didn’t work 😫
Do they all have ink? I just bought some pants and tried them on at home just now and saw it has a stupid tag! The alarm didn’t go off or anything. So annoying cus I don’t want to go back there just for these pants, it’s 20 minutes away 😭 it’s similar to this one, says “alpha” on it. Does it have ink? I don’t have a magnet!!!! I don’t want to splatter ink everywhere for some 20 dollar jeans form BJ’s lol
cut it off if your home tsk tsk thanks for helping shoplifters by the way…if the thing makes a beep if removed improperly..u can cut the dam part if the shoe that it goes through with the loop in it..lol just saying hi hi..
Shoplifters check out these videos, too, of course. So the magnet technique is now obsolete because the security people are now making the innards with non-magnetic materials to stop shoplifters from using this very quick and easy method. I have a very powerful magnet, and it did nothing.
The wife had a problem with a dress she bought and the tag was still attached and she couldn't be bothered spending 40 minutes driving back just to get it removed so i used a pair of pliers and just crushed the tag until it fell off. Problem solved

Oh shit…I just pulled one of these off with some needle nose pliers. Didn’t see any ink just some little ball bearings inside. 🤷🏻♂️
Those are not ink tags
Ikr
I would rather have my shoes stolen than invent security tags.
I went through the trouble of pulling apart an old computer, took the hard drive out, dismantled it, took the magnet out, took me two days and it didn’t work 😫
There is no ink in that gator tag trust me
Do they all have ink? I just bought some pants and tried them on at home just now and saw it has a stupid tag! The alarm didn’t go off or anything. So annoying cus I don’t want to go back there just for these pants, it’s 20 minutes away 😭 it’s similar to this one, says “alpha” on it. Does it have ink? I don’t have a magnet!!!! I don’t want to splatter ink everywhere for some 20 dollar jeans form BJ’s lol
cut it off if your home tsk tsk thanks for helping shoplifters by the way…if the thing makes a beep if removed improperly..u can cut the dam part if the shoe that it goes through with the loop in it..lol just saying hi hi..
Shoplifters check out these videos, too, of course. So the magnet technique is now obsolete because the security people are now making the innards with non-magnetic materials to stop shoplifters from using this very quick and easy method. I have a very powerful magnet, and it did nothing.
Bold of u to assume I just have a magnet
Best strat to remove a security tag: .......pay for the item
We just kept shoving forks in and it eventually came off lol. PROTECT YOUR BOOB!!
I looked this up then got fed up and just used my fingers to pry it apart. I was so worried about ink lol
The wife had a problem with a dress she bought and the tag was still attached and she couldn't be bothered spending 40 minutes driving back just to get it removed so i used a pair of pliers and just crushed the tag until it fell off. Problem solved
