Life Hack: How To Easily Remove Security Tag from Clothing



Photo: Staples

I went back-to-school shopping at the mall a few days ago and splurged on two pants which I got for a freakin' bargain price. I went home happy thinking about all that money I saved but only to be dismayed when laundry day came. The cashier forgot to remove the security tag (non-ink one) from one of the pants! This never happened to me before so, I was left with a huge challenge of removing it. If you encounter this same annoying predicament for items you purchase - not stolen (you know who you are) - here is an easy and quick way of removing the security tag from your clothing.





Instructions:
This hack is intended for security tags without the ink pack.


1. You'll need Cutter pliers and a sturdy wooden or metal stick.



2. Cut through the contoured hump on the front side of tag and clip-off the plastic until you get an opening big enough to poke the metal strip that's holding the pin in place.




3. Once you get a good grip, push from the bottom part of the metal strip towards the right side, away from the pin. You'll hear a click and that's your cue to separate the pin from the clip.

That's it. Freedom!
