- 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.

Literally saved me about 2 hours from having to head back to the shops during this Christmas rush, you’re the man!
Same here tonight!!!!
Literally we have boxing sales on atm and the lady didnt take the tag off we live 9 hours away from where i live as we are on holidays.
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.
Omg you saved me from having to do all the way back
haha same just got sweatpants and im figuring it out lol
Just to clarify, this item was purchased from the store and the tag was left on 👍👍
I'm pulling your leg, champion!
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was helpful I just got a blanket from there and it worked great to get the tag off
Same, ironically it was a wallet lol
It’s just the worst when you get home and realise the security tag is still on! It’s happened to us a few times now. Thanks for this awesome hack Bill 👍🏼
😮
Bill thank you, I robbed a pair of pants and now I can cut that thing off. You made my bussines work again. Forever grateful!
You saved me like 2 hours of going back to the store, showing them the invoice and struggling with my bad German explaining them they forgot to remove the pin. Thanks a million
this was extremely helpful and saved me 15mins of having to drive back to the shops
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!
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!!
You’re welcome 👍
Omg. Just worked like u said. Brilliant. Thank u. Saved the day
@@smitaprem9382 the thanks should go to the poster, I am someone who just followed the directions and was happy like you. Oddly, I am wearing the hoodie right now that had the tag on it!!! :)
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.
you like feeling a little naughty don't you ;)
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:)
Oh my goodness you just saved me a whole 30 minute trip back to the store when I’m trying to get dressed to go to a birthday party. Thank you thank you and thank you it was a piece of cake.
Thank you! You saved my son's Christmas day, who was having a melt-down after finding his fancy new coat still had a security tag on it. Sawed off the back of the tag as demonstrated, worked perfectly!
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!
Thanks Bill, this just saved me a 30 mile round trip to the shop, plus they gave me 20% discount for inconvenience when I complained online to them. Much appreciated.
This was a life saver. My son bought a pair of jeans in FL and when we returned home to CO, he discovered the tag still on. This method worked perfectly and my son is happy once again 😄
this is the only video on youtube which actually works without having me to buy something or use much effort
Thank you so much! I drove home 170km from the shops yesterday and today noticed two security tags. Your video saved me a day!
I had the same tag on the waist of my hoody for 2 years and today I decided to do something about it! 🤣
Lmao wow
@@jazziehuggins7764 i never wore it outdoors for 2 years btw hahah 🤣🤣
@@BavarianMachines lmao I was gonna say damn 😆🤣😂
How did you wash it? LOL
@@melindiheyns887 I didn't wear it as often so didn't need washing as much.. when I did wash it I only wore it indoors haha!🤣🤣
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 RUclips, you are more helpful than their staff. Thank you!
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.
Thanks mate, saved the Mrs a trip back and saved my ears hearing about how bad the shops are blah blah blah. U my friend are the GOAT
👍
My guy just gave me a discount for life🙌😩💀
😜
Did it work tho🤨
Shut the front and back door!
😂😂🥴
not for life 😂😂
Thanks. Saved my mom a headache after the store forgot to remove the tag off her new swimsuit. You're so real for this!
This guy is a real one, my gf had to return a jumper and the one she replaced it with still had one of these tags on. I followed this tutorial and it worked perfectly!!
Got a Harley Davidson T while in Florida, when I got back to NY the security tag was still on. Your method, it worked like a charm! Be careful! Thanks Bill!
Yes it worked.. bought a t-shirt from sale and they didn't remove security tag.. ur trick worked out in 5 minutes..
I know a better one with a plastic bag and it came off in 1 lol but might depends on the type cause I didn't have this kind.
Took me two minutes with this method. This is what RUclips is all about. So helpful thank you!
👍
Most definitely thought I was going to have to go back to the store and do the whole explanation. Buying clothes around Christmas is hell already. Glad this worked, quickly. Under 3 mon
This saved me from returning a shirt to a shop in Switzerland who forgot to remove the security tag. I'm from the Philippines, by the way. Thank you for the video!!
You're a legend man! I broke the plastic with bare strength and was stuck with two metal pieces and a needle. Your explanation of the ball bearing concept helped me remove the pin easily! Thank you. And yes ofcourse this product was purchased and I have the bill. The alarm just didn't go off.
Thanks Man. You saved my time to go back to store. :)
Thank you so much, came home after purchaseing an item. You have saved us a trip back to the shops. THank you.
I had this shirt in my closet for at least a year with the tags on it. I pull it out and couldn’t believe that security tag was still there. I couldn’t find the receipt and couldn’t remember if I bought it myself or my husband. I am grateful for this video. It worked perfectly. The thing just fell apart. Thanks!
Absolute life saver mate. I'm getting married in 2 hours and my best man had one of these on his shirt without realising. This absolutely worked a treat considering the shirt is pure white we had no issues at all besides being incredibly nervous
Great video!! Quick and easy. Didn’t feel like driving all the way back to the store. I have a hacksaw at home and completed this in less than five minutes. 👍🏽. Thanks.
Thank you so much, checked few videos but this was the easiest and the one actually worked. Had a socks that had a tag for more than a year, and finally got it removed 🎉
Thanks friend!! This just saved me on a date night - had a whole shopping day, super excited to wear the jeans i bought on a date night and realized they had the security tag still on them! Got it off within 5 mins using your method. The best!! You’re a hero!!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this method! I am a leg amputee and my mom recently purchased a $60 shirt for me and the cashier left that dang tag on.
I used your method using a utility razor blade knife and I had the tag off within 5 minutes. No damage to my nice shirt from mom! God Bless you my friend🙏
What does being a leg amputee have to do to do with context
You are amazing!!! I would of never thought of this! I finally got a tag off that's been on my daughter's outfit since 2019. Thank you for this video 🙌🏾
My daughters dress has a tag but I only bought it 5 months. About I'm like either I cut a hole and patch (which would look horrible) or I risk the ink coming out
thank you! bought Jammies for my son and realised the security tag was on still, lost the receipt and was about to throw his pjs away but thank God for RUclips 😂🙌🏼
Thank you so much. I got back from shopping the other day and realized they forgot to remove that thing and I've been wondering how the heck I was going to get it off without driving all the way back. You are a life saver.
This was extremely helpful. My brother ordered two shirts online and they both had security tags.
Thank you soooo much! I just bought my daughter a dress for her picture day and as she was trying it on she saw the security tag. This video just saved me a two hour trip!🥰🥰
You’re welcome 👍
Had the same problem where the store forgot to remove it when I purchased the item. This method worked perfectly and in less time than it took to watch the video. Thank you!
Thanks Bill. Big W took two tags off and left two on this morning. Saved me a heap of time and effort. Much appreciated.
Thanks Bill you definitely saved me a trip, by far the easiest way to remove! 💯
Thank you so much! You saved me a trip back to the store 🙌🏻
You're an absolute legend, worked perfectly! All the best from Scotland bud, much obliged ❤
Bill, thank you so much, I got a shirt for my grandma, she’s visiting for 2 weeks. She was going to leave with the shirt until we saw the tag. We were in s rush and I saw this video. Thank you so much. Best life hack ever.
Excellent tip. Worked very well. The store people had forgotten to remove the tag and we didn't feel like driving half an hour to go back there. I used a small hand saw on a workbench and it was very easy. Many thanks!
You just saved my very eager daughters xmas day top. Thanks mate 👌🏼
I had exactly the same situation today, with a blouse bought for my little daughter. The video was extremly useful. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I bought something out of town last Saturday and just realized it still had this one, and did NOT have time to go back out there! Worked perfectly
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. Used a knife to cut the top off and it was more or less exactly the same inside. Great video. Thanks, saved the day.
This just saved my mum some Christmas disappointment. Absolutely worked and an incredibly quick method too. Thanks!
I had exactly the same problem, bought my son a Boss hoodie, the shop left the tag on, too late to take it back as only just discovered it. This was brilliant and worked perfectly. Thank you.
You just saved my evening. I was running late already and realized the tag was still on. You’re my hero! Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you Bill for saving the Day! It’s thanksgiving and the store is closed and I just noticed the thanksgiving outfit I bought has a tag. I’m about to try this method to get it off & hopefully I do it well! Reading the comments makes me feel confident that it works!
Thanks heaps, this saves a 12 hour round trip to get the tag removed from my new trackies! Legend!
You’re very welcome 👍
FINALLY a useful video on the subject! Thank you sir. Worked like a charm. Didn't even pull out any tools, just a serrated knife.
Omg thank you! Bought a hoodie for an out of town trip, didn’t even think to check for a tag as I was at self checkout. Embarrassingly wore the hoody around all weekend until a stranger pointed it out.
oh my gosh you literally saved my life 😂 I bought some pants from bigw and I didn't realise that the lock was still on it and my mum was insisting on taking em back and I was like nonono! I can take it off
good video mate. It’s happened to me so this is good to know. comment section funny, tho.. next video - how to open & start your car when you’ve lost your key 😂 great content bro.. keep em coming
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Next video - how to get money out the bank when you don't have an account
Lol
This was the most easiest methods out of the ones I have seen so far. Worked as a treat without damaging the clothing. I had a spare knife that I heated on the flame and then the cutting part was a breeze. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you ! My son has picture day at school today & we realized this morning the button shirt we bought him still had the security piece. Followed your directions & BOOM worked like a charm .
This saved me an hour drive back to the store, very useful thank you.
Great video. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
This was such a big help! I bought a pair of pants from the store a while ago and went through the self checkout, tossed the receipt and the first time I wanted to wear them I realized the tag was still there so I didn't know what to do. I had the pants for months and finally found this video! Took about 10 minutes or so and it was so easy! Thank you so much!
Thank so much! Saved the item. Did not want to drive the 3 hours to the outlet I bought from.
Perfect. Was pretty helpful
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!!
Literally takes about 2 seconds with an angle grinder.
WOW>.super helpful. Just in the nick of time. Bought a graduation present and that thing wasn't taken off "inside" the purse we bought for her. SUCH a great "hack". I used a dremel with a cutting disk and it took about 2 mins to do EVERYTHING ! Thanks Billshowto
A brilliant way to remove the forgotten security tag.. I tried it successfully and completed in less than 5 minutes. Thank you
Just robbed £1200 worth of designer clothes cheers man
Bought a jacket today. Got home, tried it on a saw the security tag. Found your video. It worked - so easy to remove. Thank you. ☺️
Thank you so much. Only video I have found that works. Bought leggings during lock down and they were delivered with tags on. Now I can finally wear them all these years later. 😊
First RUclips video I've ever watched that worked for me... I trust this guy, thankyou for the help!! 👍👍!!
Great tutorial! Gave me exactly what I needed to remove a security tag that was left on.
Brought a jumper last week and didn’t keep the receipt so had to take matters onto my own hands. Did this in about 1 minute. Sharp kitchen knife, took 10 seconds once I cut the top off!
Thanks so much! Easy to follow & got my tag off that was left on by the shop.
Saved me traipsing back to the supermarket to get the tag removed after I’d purchased an item of clothing. Great instructions. Thank you.
🤲 discount, special edition😉
Thank you ! Saved me the hassle of going back to the store. 🙌🏼
The most useful and helpful tutorial I’ve ever seen. Be proud of you content, mate.
This is so helpful!!! got a cloth gift for my baby with the tag on, 😢.
didn't know what to do.....came across this video and it worked!!..Amazing!
Thank you so much! I purchased pyjamas for my partner a couple of weeks ago and the security tag was hidden under the packaging. I didn't realise until today as I was wrapping them for his birthday! Ive managed to get the tag off so he can have them today now for his birthday! 🙈
Guys this is not a tutorial on how to remove the tags off all the clothes you pinched this weekend.
Oh yes it is🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah but then their teenager staff doesnt remove the tag when you PURCHASE it, they deserve to have the tag returned in pieces.
Chill why are you so pressed
Thank you, you saved me a real headache! Took less than 2 mins and off it came. Totally forgot to have it removed at the store. Ty so much.
Worked for me ! Saved me time and money from going all the way back to the mall! Thanks ! You're a life savior
now I can finally wear my thongs- thank you so much
LMFAOOO
😂😂😂
This works 100% but you do need patience
Thank you. My t-shirt came by epost, so I wasn't about to wait until I could send it back to the seller. Great advice!
Bill this advice saved me! Your my main man for how to videos!
Wont a strong magnet, like a rare earth magnet, do the same job? Since we're talking about stealing clothes from stores.
Yes. But many of people don’t have strong magnets laying around.
thanks mate just racked a bunch of shit from David Jones and used this method to take off the tags in the change rooms. racked about $500 worth of clothes fkn siik.
I had got a hat from Egypt for my son and they forgot to take this tag off. We realized it after we got back to the U.S. so your video literally saved me from going to the local mall here. Thank you!
By that time you caught by security
This video definitely deserves a like!
Saved so many hours of stress of going back to the store.
Thanks Bill, used this method today. My brother bought my son two shirts & they were left on but not anymore…😂
i used side cutters to nibble the dome away, faster but more messy, I wouldn't have known where to start without this so thanks, saved me a lot of time.👍
Got home from NYC and a cashmere sweater I bought at a boutique shop had an extra tag!! I literally watched her remove tags & was really upset to get home and find this. Obviously I couldn't just hop over to the store & I didn't want to damage the sweater. I used a small hack saw and this worked quickly and perfectly! Thank you so much! Did want this to sit in the close any longer!
