How to remove security tags & how they work

- Today, let's see how to remove security tags from clothes or other items in case they accidentally left them on in the shop. Let's also see how do they work. They are called security tags, ink tags, electronic article surveillance (EAS), anti theft tags or inventory control tags and they are used to stop people from shoplifting (stealing stings from shops). They are supposed to be removed by the cashier, but occasionally they forget to do it and then you have to remove them yourself. There are numerous techniques, some of them include brute force and may cause injury or damage the item, but the easiest way is of course using a strong neodymium magnet.

"Of course I'm not encouraging you to steal anything" also him: "No security alarms can stop you"
*No Security Tag is going to stop you*
lol
How can the big magnet get inside the store? ;) The alarm would go off
@@ArminYekkalam If youre going in they wont stop u coz u cudnt have stole anything yet and when u leave j leeave the magnet there
@@ArminYekkalam isn't any bigger than a phone?
Should the magnet be stronger than your accent?
Nailed it

I can tell english isnt the instructors first language, But he speeks with 100% correct words and does a great job.
For those wondering, his accent is Hindi imitating Greeks mocking Hungarians.
thank you
hahaha
I think it is Czech or Slovak accent.
he is imitating italians not greeks😂
Lol
"I don't recommend stealing ..." oh but the cat does .... lil thief ...
He Sounds like BORAT
@@kohinbellara no he doesn't
Love how he ends his sentence with the same tone everytime.
Azzrudin Jamil i had a friend who talked like this way back when always ended with a high pitch don’t know why they talk like that though
Everytiiiiimhe. :)
😂😂😂
The way he says "balls"! Lovely.
Sounds like an Irish newsreader
For anyone here that is looking to separate hard drive magnets from brackets cleanly and in one piece - soak the bracket and magnet in acetone overnight. This dissolves the adhesive and allows you to *CAREFULLY* remove the magnet from the metal bracket.

When I first saw these on clothes in shops back when I was a kid, I thought they were some kind of crazy new fashion accsessory!
😂
I have NEVER heard someone talk so fluently and with a great vocabulary in English as non native speaker and still have such a strong accent 😊 I immediately heard you're from Czech Republic! ❤❤ Thank you for this video!!
I love the ballez😂❤
It's sexy af
Your accent made me feel like I was back home in Jordan talking to someone who only spoke English while at university. I can tell your very smart. Thanks for the video.
TH-cam: Please select the language based on your demographic area
Magnet guy: Yes
Finally a reasonable video. I admire you intellect and craftmanship. Thanks for the instructions.
Thanks for the tutorial man, just bought a very expensive shirt online that came to the US all the way from Europe and one of these tags was on it. I knew it had to be something simple like magnets so clerks at the stores would not have a difficult process removing them, but didn’t know the method used and didn’t want to play around finding out in fear there was ink inside it; but this simple trick worked. Thankfully I keep a strong magnet on the fridge.
i love the way this guy talks, or i hate it I'm still trying to understand
I feel like he's doing it on purpose 😂
Like cartoon characters
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I haven't laughed this much in an instructional video! 🤣
But a really good one, too!
Watching this video probably gets you on some sort of FBI watch list 😂
It most certainly does not.
since Danyk is in Europe I dont think he gives a fuck about american anything
If not, watch NileRed video on how to prepare chloroform and watch some Lockpicking Lawyer and ta-da your name is in the list.
@@Ressy66 Most Americans only knows America 😆
definitely this guy is on the lists..
Thanks for that. I knew they were removed using a magnet but never thought it would use metal balls! Quite a simple but effective design!
"it worrrrrrrrrks"
yoo ?
will the alarm go on if i do that ?.. with my own magnet ?
Nope @Ryderr_007
I recognize this guy. He works for Dell customer service.
I wonder if that's true, as that would be one of the best customer service guys especially in regard to tech support lol.
@@ShaggySVK Whoooosh
@@ShaggySVK He is Kamakha Brekker
This was the best comment on this post
Except he's useful.
This works great , ordered clothes from old navy for my daughter and they sent me 2 of her dresses with tags , i called them and sent customer service several emails but got nothing in return, till i found this vid.
If you don´t have a strong magnet by your hand is good to use for home purposes also splitting pliers concretely for this security tag type. Pressing the upper cap with spring inside is relatively simple and the plastic is fragile. :) Time duration: several seconds.
kinda loud tho. especially in a quite store
@@QJI394 Most people are using this to remove purchased stuff, not stealing.
He's Czech and that voice is hilarious... we don't speak like that normally... only some older people that learned english and thinks they speak good 😅 he ended every word with melody lmao
I thought he was czech but was so confused with the intonation 😂
I'm Czech but this guy sounds like count dracula
Bruh your accent XD i can't tell if you are trolling or not
Russian
Your accent gives me life, your wisdom gives me opportunities
Came for a security tags tips..
Stayed for the accent
disposable tag

There are now two people that I could listen to talk all day. When I want to relax, I listen to Bob Ross tell me to put happy little trees here and beat the devil out of my brush. When I want to laugh, I listen to you tell me to take the pin ooouuuuuuut of the baaaaaaaaaaallssss on heeerrrrreeee while watching you teach me better ways to steal. Thank you 🙏🏻. I know that you’re at least trying to be funny, I don’t know for sure if the accent is real but I’m pretty sure it is. And that, is gift to humanity.
Never thought it was so easy to remove, sometimes the easy things make us think hard.
This is The LockPicking La... wait!

As somebody who magnet fishes, I reckon my 250kg magnet should do it.
Cheers for this.
Magnet fishes? Do the fish have metal inside then pulling them towards you ?
I just bought some clothes online from Kmart and they arrived with these tags still attached - this is going to save me so much hassle and annoyance! Thank you.
"My cat's not magnetic..."
*whiskers bend towards magnet*
"Huh...."
Thanks to you, I learned about neodymium magnets. I loved magnets since I was little, now I found a new toy.
Sadly I did not had a good magnet for the tag on my brothers coat, so I had to use huge pliers
You just gave the golden hint to millions of shoplifters 😋
Im dying😂😂😂
Worked on a piece of cloth that store forgot to remove. Saved a trip back to store. Thank you. I used a big magnet that is used for magnet fishing.
How the store forget to remove it but the alarm didn’t go off? I thought they had alarms on the tag
@@RocThaDon alarm is at the exit. It may not have been functional that time.
Thank you!
I once bought a jacket and the shop removed it. Only after I put it on, I realized there was _another_ one. It took me an hour to remove it.
But you did remove it. Great job!
Which magnet did you use
This is extremely useful for me financially. Thank you for the video!
I had one before where an item of clothing had one of those security tags stuck. Unfortunately I didn't know about the magnets, nor do I have any that are strong enough, so I used brute force :). It worked!
Thanks. Just noticed that a discount store forgot to remove the tags on 2 clothing items I found for my child a few weeks ago I no longer have the receipt because they are just sweat shirts. And it hasn’t been cold enough to wear them yet. Magnet worked like a charm. Thanks for the info. I probably would have ruined them if I had tried another method.
The three ball-bearings in the cage/collar is basically a linear one-way roller clutch. As long as the angle is shallow enough, the force needed to overcome the friction will increase faster than the pulling force, basically acting as a wedge in the reverse direction. This also means you have to be careful when pushing it in on clothing (or anything compressible) with a magnet not strong enough to overcome the spring since the balls can actually lock the cage in place and make it almost impossible to remove.
Can you explain it in simpler language without all that terminology pls😭😭
@@satan7553 Since this is a technical channel it's only fitting for those who may not fully understand how it works. But for non-technical folks: You know wedges people use to hold doors open? This works the same way.
Or you grab a Bic lighter you melt the little hump where the spring is behind and you pull it open and remove the ball-bearings, takes about 40 seconds. So not impossible!
@@XxxXxx-fm3wowhat about the ink?
just saved me, made a purchase, cashiers didnt see the tag and I didnt want to go back... saw your video, 2 seconds and done! used a magnet salvaged from an old HDD
6:08 that sketch though 😆
It looks very worried 😳
OMG the cadence of his voice- I LOVE IT! :)
Also, that is a gorgeous cat! Love that they're included. Very important muse, cats.
Thank you for an excellent informative video , well produced , no waffle or mugshots. Two old HDD magnets worked after a smack.
Your accent is quite acceptable.
Brilliantly explained, and ignore these slapsticky comments about your accent, you did your job pretty well!
2:00 its steel doesn't twerk lol
i died 😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Came to this video after buying an item of clothing where the security tag wasn’t taken off in the store by the checkout. Just tried a magnet I had in the house and it worked like a charm!
Thanks.
That : Ballssssssss made me laugh for quite some times. Lol.
I couldnt hold my laugh when he said that lol
I heard it right as I read your comment 😂
He speaks like my english teacher. good job
Now more complicated tags are common. They have wires wrapped around the item, which would probably send an alarm if broken, or they put smaller items in a box.
I have no use for this tutorial whatsoever but once I heard you start talking, I had to listen to all 8 min of this. Thank you.
I imagine you doing the filming in the change booth of a store
I bought socks 🧦 for my boyfriend at Family Dollar and they left the security tag on them. We ised the magnet and it worked perfectly. And the tag was different than yours and it still worked. Thanks man.
Can you tell me which magnet was that for example:-hard disk magnet or other magnet please reply ❤❤
CANT WAIT for the chargers teardown!!!!
Was wondering if those magnets close to the chargers was going to mess the charger up
You’re speaking decently fast, & your vocabularies are so good that I’m surprised at the accent!
However, it definitely isn’t annoying, just wasn’t expecting that .. Thanks for sharing .. I appreciate the work you’ve put ..
Luckly the shops are open! I will try it.
Hold up
What happened, did it worked
Jep
fbi want to know your location..
Thanks! One large neodymium magnet with your instructions saved the day.
Your accent is just so hilarious🤣🤣 btw I like it😊 Are you Czech?
Your KOČKA (it’s a sooo funny word😂😂😂) is really cute.
Also, if you are watching this and need a quick fix like me - I whacked the top dome with hammer twice and it popped open to my surprise. From that point u will figure out what to do easy after watching that video! Really interesting concept. Good luck!
Does anyone know where such a strong magnet can be purchased? Cute kitty!😸😻😸😻
I had something similar holding my duvet cover in place and lost the magnet it came with. I tried a few of the suggestions here on YT. I thought my magnet was not strong enough but the key is to push in and then pull away! Thanks!
Thanks! I used a different technique to get to the lock mechanism but knowing how it worked was the key.
This tip gave me a clue about how things work and also initiate me to do my own project based on this concept. thanks and please keep it up
_Definitely cleaning my yt historic after this video_
Don't bother
Ok sure, there are thieves, EVERYWHERE. But this video to me/my wife has been very handy, just today she went op-shopping as she does when she has a rare free day, thrift shopping for old hidden and forgotten designer clothing and glassware is a true joy in her life, well today she went to a well known HUGE thrift store many many miles from here and bought a ton of stuff, she was proudly and happily showing me all the great bargains she found, she was in heaven! That was until she pulled out the last item, a pair of shoes she'd been looking for for years only to find they'd forgot to remove this exact tag off one of the shoes :( honestly she was devastated knowing it would be many weeks if ever she'd be able to take them back and have the tag removed ( A HUGE HUGE HASSLE) so I thought I'd see if there was a way to remove the tags without ruining her already 2nd / possibly 5th hand shoes and found this video, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! it took me about 10 seconds to remove the tags with a strong magnet and I became the hero of the moment, it truly made my wife's day complete rather than a big let down (they were only $30 shoes but she just loved them)
So again thank you, you saved me a lot of heartache :)
I Have an old tag and was actually thinking of making a device to emit the same frequency. So I could stand outside shops secretly setting off the alarms as people where walking out with there goods : )
Classic
I don't even care I don't have a magnet strong enough, his voice made my day
I'm wainting all these videos you to pet the cat sometime :)
If you don’t have a neodymium magnet, (and the tag is weak enough) you can use scissored to better access the inside magnets so that they attract better to normal household magnets
Oddball design - round of applause to the cat for that excellent pun :)
I always come back to watch this video. His “This is not enough” literally makes me lose my shit without fail everytime
His accent reminded me of the movie dictator 😂
Exactly 😂
Thank you sir I could never do this I've been hearing this Hawaiian shirt for 2 years and now just looking it up so thank you I left you a like and share
This is dracula In disguise...😏😂
😂😂😂
Required a stack of four hard drive magnets but it worked! Thanks for posting.
This is going to be useful to a lot of shoplifters
Shoplifters already know how to remove them. Just cut the cap enough to allow the spring out if you don't have a magnet.
Thanks for the videoOOo.. I now know how to open iIIiiIt..your explanation is so easy to understaAAaaAnd.. Your drawing also goooOOood....this is not bullying guys.. Trust me.. I just love the way he speaks
I never knew how they worked but it's a clever and simple design, smart cookies the designers :-D.
But in that case a pair of sissors to cut the corner off the packing would bypass it lol.
Once I had that problem. Cutting the plastic bulge section off with a disc grinder works fine :)
I didn't have a magnet suitable
7:33 "you can _kind of_ hear the ball holder clicking"
*CLICK CLICK CLICK*
the voice omg makes my day ! good one bro ! thumbs up!
This guy speaks with his own created accent
@Peter B
i was in czech a few years ago and all the ones i could talk to in english had almost no accent (did have a lot of rolled Rs tho) , but i like the way this guy sounds :-)
@Peter B excuse my ignorance brother
Dan?
Can you make a video how check a smps transformer (for short) if its bad or good?
Thanks
DiodeGoneWild teaching us how to shoplift. :-D
After looking at and listening to the explanation of the diagram.... I think I can forget about that bird's and bees b.s mum was talking about. I am finally ready to procreate thanks Dad!!
Or indiuce high current in these radio-anti-theft-tags to burn radio-coil down XD
Do not forget to open a window for venting the smoke.
How strong is the big square magnet you used that easily removed them?
Which magnet did you use
Funniest 8:52 minutes in my life :D
tried one today. was using the small cubes. got so frustrated I saw the lump off and it works. the tag is intact and reusable. calculated brute force does work
That accent is so hilarious hahaha
It took me 3mins to realise this video is in English. Actually I take that back
Brilliant!!! So logically explained! And I LOVE your accent, and knowledge!! Thanks so much for this video!!!
OMG what model/ brand rotory tool is that you use to cut it open towards the end of the video? I NEED one lol
Microsoft getting in on the act with their balls, might have guessed , very interesting 👍
Worked perfectly! I happened to have some HDD magnets. Thanks! Saves us a huge hassle.
Wonderful video. One of the best explanations of how this device works. Language was created to communicate. You have communicated well. Things like the accent is for people with a lower IQ.
Is there no ink anymore?
Now I wonder what those "detectors" in changing rooms do. Are they supposed to sense a strong magnet or an attempt to use an electronic one ?
Yeah, why not steal anti stealing device and reverse engineer it 😂
Wait you commented 20 hours ago? tf?

Try to bring strong permanent and electro magnet inside a clothing room in a shop and look if the shop detective wants to see you afterwards XD reverse engineer their system by trial and error XD
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, I believe that accent is a Philippino accent bc I work with many and they sound exactly the same🙂 Thank-you Sir.
