This is the easiest and safest way to remove a security tag from any clothing without causing any damage. Using a house hold knife we are able to safely remove the security tag with minimal effort in seconds. After purchasing a hoodie for my daughter i realized the tag was left on the item of clothing and i really didnt want to drive back to the store so i decided to figure out a way to safely remove the security merchandise tag without tools, magnets, fire, lighter and have it simple enough for the every day person who is in the same situation to remove.

I looked up about using a magnet. That's the best way. I used one of my stronger fridge magnets and the pin just popped out.

My daughter came back to the US from Iceland with presents and one of the hoodies had this tag on it. I followed the steps and not only was it easy and exact to the directions, but after cutting and removing the top, it looked identical! Thanks for posting this!!

Had no idea how easy it is to remove it yourself rather than travel back to the store. I thought I'd have to throw it away seeing as I lost the receipt. Huge thank you!

@jessicahatala4040 2 года назад

This was the easiest and best method I found! Thank you! I paid for the shirt, but it was ordered online and I didn’t want to have to drive out to a mall to get the tag removed (defeats the purpose of shopping online!) Bonus: I got to feel just a little naughty destroying this damn tag.

@teekay4064 2 года назад

you like feeling a little naughty don't you ;)

@pennierkaide4985 2 года назад

A cashier left a tag on my shirt and like everyone else I didn't want to go back. He mentioned using a magnet. I used one I keep on the fridge to hang calenders. The pin on the tag literally popped out. Instead of this way a magnet is the way to go:)

Thank you so much. It took me just about 3-5mins to remove it 👍🏼 The supermarket was far and worst, I paid through self checkout and when the machine asked me if I wanted a receipt I pressed ‘no’ 🙄 so I couldn’t even go and proof I bought the item 🤦🏻‍♀️ Finally I’ll be able to wear my PJ’s :D Thank you Bill!

I'm 14 and it took an hour to the store and back for my older brother to drive me, I bought a few shirts and boxers myself and one of the pairs of boxers had one of these. You are a life saver as my brother rarely does anything for me and my parents are too busy to drive me.

Thank you so much. I recently bought a top online for my son and wasn’t aware of the security tag as it was hidden inside. Rang the nearest branch and they told me to go there to get it’s removed but it’s about 100 miles away from my home . Their staff told me not to post it because it might set of security alarm at post office etc. My local branch has closed down due to COVID. Found this video on RU-vid, you are more helpful than their staff. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this great video . 4 years I’ve had a jacket which TKMAXX couldn’t take the security tag off when I brought it back to them as was accidentally left on. They couldn’t remove it because it came from a different store entirely. They did offer me money back but I kept the jacket, moved and today found your video. So anyone looking at this- don’t try to burn off your tag- it will not end well 😄This gentleman’s kitchen knife was exactly same as mine-phew and thanks again!

This is the best way to remove these things. Bought a Christmas present for the wife. Didn't notice the tag was left on until wrapping it and by then it was too late to go back to the shop.

@treesandbamboo 3 года назад

Thanks for this. Once you showed me what was inside, I could do the job even faster, literally about 30 seconds, using a pair of cable cutting pliers I had (I know, average person probably doesn't have these right outside in their garage). This type of cutter grabs onto round objects really easy, and it cut right trough in about 2 seconds. Then just grabbed the little metal cup inside with needle nose pliers, the ball bearings fell out in my garage, never to be seen again, and it all came apart! Thanks again, very helpful!!
