How to remove a security ink tag from clothes

This ink tag was shipped with the ink tag attached to the shirt and the local outlet store couldnt remove the tag.
I'm not posting this for fraud reasons but it is the second time a security tag was left on clothes we bought and I'm sure it has happened to other people...I was not going to ship it back for them to remove it.

Thank you so much. I did exactly what you said and it worked. Not only did I follow your way of detaching the alarm but your sons story is exactly what happened to my son. They mailed it without removing the alarm. For months I did not attempt to remove the alarm. I went as far as going to three Finish line stores and all they told me that i had to go to the state in which it was mailed from because the finish lines I went to had the old alarm set ups and this store was one of the newer ones to open. I didn’t want to catch a plane so I left it in the draw the way it was until I ran into your video. Low and behold after watching 6 videos to see which action was the best one I went with yours. It worked. PERFECTLY. THANKS. !!!!!

I'm glad it worked. I'm starting to think that wherever the clothes get shipped from that they don't have the device to remove the tag either, so the let it be the customers problem

This worked well, once i got the first side off i sticky taped the ink vials while i filed down the pin incase it leaked since i didn’t have time to freeze it. The people at the shop forgot to remove the tag and i live over an hour away from the store.

Thanks for this video and the comments. One small screw into one of the holes did the trick. We chose a hole that didn’t have ink below it (don’t think it matters which one though). Screw was slightly larger than the hole.

Every video I've seen about taking these off has been doing it the wrong way and the hard way! Just use a hook screw and screw it into one of the holes you see and bam it pops off. I had bought some socks and there was 3 tags still on. No power tools or knives used just a hook screw

A store hasn't left one on since I made this video. I think the most effective way depends on how many you need to remove. Just read the comments, they will give you good ideas to try.

Have encountered one of these, unfortunately not having any luck. I can’t see any gold bits under that lip (I assume that’s where the removal tool hooks onto), and if I try pressing down in those 6 holes with something (as much as I’m comfortable doing anyway) I’m not getting any feedback. Would really need to understand how it actually works and how the proper tool works, but not found any resources so far..

@MarcsRandomVids 7 ай бұрын

Hi,,I wouldn't buy the tool because it's basically a one time thing, hopefully. Read the comments below as some people had great ideas that worked. My best suggestion to you would be either take it back to the store, if you can, or freeze it. Once it's frozen you can crack the plastic,, do it quickly though.

@rakeau 7 ай бұрын

@@MarcsRandomVids Thanks for the reply. Yeah of course I'm not going to buy the tool for one item, just annoyed the inconvenience! I'm more just curious how the proper tool works - I'm guessing it hooks onto that bit and has 6 pins that push down into the holes... Or I could just do your initial thing and dremel away the middle of the side that doesn't have the ink vials.

@MarcsRandomVids 7 ай бұрын

@rakeau that's why i used the dremel. Unlocking it didn't work. I'm not sure of the name of the locking method, but picture a thin metal cone with a hole in the tip just slightly smaller than the pin. If you push the pin through the hole from inside of the cone, the cone metal binds against the pin. Trying to pull the pin back out only causes the cone metal to dig in deeper around the pin. You could still push the pin through, but not pulling it out. To release the pressure, the cone must be pushed from the inside. Almost like the stud of an earing, or a lapel pin with the button on the back. Freeze it first. Lol. Hope that helped.. ?

@rakeau 7 ай бұрын

@@MarcsRandomVids Yep, makes sense, I'm just not sure how somehow puncturing the tag thru some of the 6 holes on the other side (the side with the vials) will release the grip of the "cone" on the other half that you're talking about. Encountered another tag once before, but that was easily released with a strong magnet. The bit on that one that 'grips' the pin used small bearings that the magnet would lift up. But this one sadly is different. A magnet will stick to it, but not release it.

@MarcsRandomVids 7 ай бұрын

@rakeau I like the magnet idea. It's been a while and even though I just watched the video,,I still don't remember exactly what I was talking about. I think.....using the dremel, bypassed the need for the six holes. So the pin I was left with was still stuck in the lock. I think I just freed up the opposite end. Maybe you can experiment more. Dissect it better than I did.

The easiest way to remove these! Is to get a torch lighter melt the side without the ink first move the plastic around while the plastic is still warm and make a whole do the same to the other side and it just falls off!

I was bought PJ's for Xmas and just decided to use them and found this tag attached to the inside😢 typical they've been sitting in a gift bag since last year. Anyway watched this vid but decided to try one of your viewers recommendations using a small screw through one of the holes. It only took one screw and the back fell off. Only issue I now have a hole in the tops front, they didn't put the tag on a seam, idiots

Wouldn’t a magnet work on that type

@MarcsRandomVids Жыл бұрын

No, the magnet wouldn't work. I believe the pin is being held by metal that is "biting" on the sides of the pin. If you google "push nuts" you can get an idea of how it is holding.

Well, they actually sell tools that remove the ink tags much easier. My method is a lot of work and can still possibly ruin clothes. So for the people who can't have the tag removed , it helps them. What's strange is how some states allow stealing up to $900 from stores. Now we have people running in and robbing whatever they can grab. There are also videos on how to pick locks, remove wheel locks from cars and how to pick pockets....I could go on.
