Can’t you do it with magnets?
Based on my experience yesterday, no. Not with regular magnets at least. Need something stronger.
I’ve always managed with pliers and a flathead screwdriver.
I have to take at least one of them off every couple of months because my wife shops at big box stores a lot and most of the employees around here don’t really give a shit.
They’re meant to be hard to remove in a store. If you find them on your merchandise while at your own home, it’s not exactly hard to get them off.
Just gotta be careful, a lot of them may still need magnets. Some trip the alarm if forced, while the magnet acts as both a disarm and a release.
Only had one that had an audible alarm, I just smashed it in my vice to shut it up.
Luckily never came across one of the dye pack ones.
Just wrap the tag in a couple plastic bags and force it.
Yes, but they need to be quits strong. I managed to get a forgotten tag off of stuff I bought with magnets I had from old hard drives, but it wasn’t as easy as in the store. I think they’re using electromagnets.
Bob: Black Friday before Thanksgiving?
Louise: Yeah. Cuz it’s dark.
It’s kinda heart warming, that the first thing Louise thinks about is getting gifts for her family.
