- I discuss the EAS (Electronic article surveillance) security tags used on clothes and other high theft items as well as some of the tools to remove them. Don't ask me how to steal stuff, I will not respond. Look it up online.

You ever think about using a table? You know... with space...
Thanks mate! It's another thing that's fascinated me for years. Like locks or phones, and these tags are types of locks in a way.
What happened at 8:49.........
not everyone how watches this wants to steal stuff, cashiers forget to take off the security tags allllll the time
+Pyro Sandwich Agree, and some people (like me) just want to know how things work.
Will Phoneman
true im into that too
Damn!!! Such a cool video I really look forward to see the one on the dvd tags :)
Very well explained and you got some nice tools there! Wish I also had that black key, looks cool :P Shops here still use these spider tags and alos the other big ones with the metal piece release. I have seen newer tags but can't remember right now. If I see one I will make a picture for you!
So I just have to buy the black key you were using and walk right out with some neat stuff. Awesome :)
Get caught with that key in a store and it would be likely considered burglary tools. Also, those keys have a permanent tag in them that will set the alarm off upon entry or exit. This video is for educational purposes only.
@ Will Phoneman also which tags are best used to stop theft on clothing items? Shirts Jeans etc.
@Will Phoneman Can I use a golf detatcher in order to remove the old gator tags?
Where did you buy the hook. Security tag
i still one of the old classic COMPAQ keyboards used to be my favorite.
Tho one works pretty good, I'd like to find one of the older ones that had the steel plate I'm em. Those were tough.
OHH whell THATS the one that i have! the heavy one with the steel plate in it! they look JUST like that one!
I was just wondering never going to pull one.
Where do you buy the hook ?
wondering how you got all this tags... lol!!!
Thank you from someone in LP. You just gave me more knowledge.
,glad it helped!
im not gonna tell u how too steal couple sec later u take off the tag with magnet
lol, I'm simply showing how it works, if one is smart enough to figure out how to take advantage of it, well, I can't stop them.
How small can these get and where are there more resources for this including types of sensors/detectors? Looking to protect cool glassware in my bar. This would mean permanent adherence to the object. Did you ever make a video about disposable security tags?
I've never heard of these being used in a bar type setting, don't know if they'd hold up to washing. And on a glass, they could simply be peeled off or mutilated. I did make a video on disposable and ink tags, don't have the link handy, but it's in my channel.
does a 12,000gs Magnet work with most tags or does it have to be a stronger magnet?
it should. The best thing to do would be play around with it and see what it works on.
Very interesting stuff man, thanks. Found a tag on the ground and wanted to know how it works.
Glad you liked it, people that are just curious are the reason I made this video. I used to wonder how these worked too, and decided to learn.
Will Phoneman Do they sell the S3's at Radio Shack ?
haha, no, but I think they do use them. If you find one of the closing stores, may be able to buy some of the store stuff that uses the S3, may even be able to buy the key, who knows
How do you know so much about ll these tags man? This is hard to find info, unless of course you worked in loss prevention.
+BigRedChester Research, I have looked up nearly every patent on the designs mentioned, as well as asking questions, taking stuff apart, forums and just plain observancy. If you are interested in obscure tech like I am, you find a way, knowledge is power.
I understand that my good man. Would you happen to know what is the name of the tag in this picture? I know it is not a supertag 1 or 2. It is completely enclosed, with no openings

+BigRedChester looks like a magnetic one to me.
I was just wondering never going to pull one
What's the key called for the Black Tag removal? :/
Which tag? The keys in this video are an "S3 handkey" (The long black one) a Sensormatic supertag hook, (the curved piece of metal) and a Sensormatic "gator" tag tool, (the big pliers looking one)
Fantastic.
when the pin is taken off the back of a tag is it disabled? meaning will it still set the alarm off when walked through? 😊
The tag is still active, you'd have to destroy it to disable it.
I have a question, with a neodymium magnet its posible take off the hardtags of 2:35 mins? Or just with the little gun? hahja
No, those work by pressure, not magnetism. A magnet, no matter how strong, would not work.
Will Phoneman Oh thx, because a friend told me what that kind of hard tags could be take off with a magnet... thank you

No problem. There are instructions online to remove em though.
HI man i trried allot to find sensormatic supertag hook on amazon and ebuy but i cant found it
IS there any places or any another name to it?

Love this video. I sent you a message. Good channel. Can you make a video on soft tags (RF, AM, RFID) and how they work and are demagnetized? I worked in retail prior and always wanted to know. I was never in LP or AP
I'll try to make one today, but the only RFID tags I have aren't EAS ones, but access control and inventory types. Let me see what I can pull together.
Great!!
Video on deactivators is at this link: czcams.com/video/1w9RK92dOlk/video.html
Thank you!
names of the tools? i don't steal sometimes i but cothe and they forgot to take that thing off.
MeloftHD in this video, I used the hook detacher, magnetic detacher, alpha s3, and the gator tag one.
Lakia Tony read my reply to the original question, and you can likely find them on eBay
Strong magnet will pull the pin apart ... oops did I just say that :P
lol
Can I use a golf detatcher to remove the old gator tags?
No, they are pressure release, not magnetic.
So what else can I use In order to remove gator tags besides those expensive pressure releases?
PapayaBOy1992 pliers or a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. Slice the cone part off.
Where do i get a key that works for the spider tag one? and the other one that u hang stuff on?
Check eBay thet have em occasionally. Called an s3 key
Will Phoneman thanks
You never brought out the ink tags how do they work?
Ryan Parkinson they are in part 2. the link is in the description of this video
Will Phoneman ive seen tags which require the hook mechanism which also have ink. Is this a new and different tag? Also i have seen the hook mechanism on Wish.com for 2-3 dollars + shipping. In this video u said these mechanism are expensive do u think this is possibly a non-functional prop or novelty version?
Pure educational purposes.
No, those are just the supertag (tag that uses the hook) coupled with an ink tag. The ink tag simply replaces the standard "pin" of the supertag. You can do this with most of the tags I've shown that take the tack/pin.
How do u take off the circular ones
A magnetic detacher. I didn't show it because it's a strong magnet, and I didn't want it near the computer. I'd reccomend a "superlock detacher", do a google search for one.
how did you get them?
A lot were from the companies that make them, I'd call for samples (with a little social engineering). I was able to get some from store employees, and others are a mixture of ebay, finding them, and taking them off for friends/family when they were accidentally left on. took quite awhile all in all, to get tags, tools, etc.
So the electronic ones don't put out a signal they just disrupt the signal one of the towers is putting out to the frequency the other tower responds to and that activates the alarm?
yes, that is correct. there's no battery or power source in them.
+Will Phoneman and it does this by just a wire and magnet? I'm curious how like at a library they have you rub the item you're checking out on a type of rubber. What's going on there?
+mrsemifixit that is a type I did not cover, called an electromagnetic tag. when you magnetize them they are deactivated, when you demagnetize then they are activated. the opposite of the acousto magnetic tags. the device they rub it on is just a magnet
+Will Phoneman Ah ok. And what exactly is in the tag?
+mrsemifixit a similar metal 2 what is in the a.m. tags. it responds to magnetic fields and vibrates.
where i can buy that thing to open the super tag?
Look on ebay for detacher hook, or on vpeasaccessories.myshopify.com/
ty man !
Emanuele Nisi
No problem!
Do not try this at home.
what's that hook thing called
Supertag hook, or detacher hook
I can spot a tweeker a mile away
so can I. we get them quite often at my work.
