Removing the magnet from clothes (14 photos)

I wonder how many people will rush to some hypermarket after this post? :) But okay, jokes aside. WARNING from the author:

Attention! The information provided below is intended only for use for “legal” purposes - for removing magnetic tags from clothes you purchased, if the tags were forgotten to be removed at the store where you bought the clothes. The author does not bear any responsibility for how you use this knowledge. I can only warn you against the temptation to remove the magnetic tag from unpaid clothing and from trying to take it out of the store - in normal stores there is a security service that walks around the store in civilian clothes and is indistinguishable from customers, and there are also hidden cameras installed, including, possibly , and in the fitting room.

Read the instructions further!

To remove the tag you need a very strong magnet. In everyday life, the strongest magnets are used in hard drives. Broken discs can be bought from BUshniks on radio markets at a price of 50-100 rubles.

The magnet itself is glued and magnetized to its pad - you have to tear it off - drive a thin blade between the magnet and the plate - you have to apply force.

However, the magnet from one hard drive is not enough - it’s rather weak, I think - you need 4-5 pieces. In my case, I was lucky - I had an antique hard drive, which had 2 magnets that were larger and stronger than usual. By the way, you should be careful with such a magnet - floppy disks, plastic cards, small electronics - they can easily die from such proximity

So let's take the thing

The following method of applying a magnet immediately suggests itself:

But, as you can easily see, nothing will work out.

The magnet must be applied to the end of the cone on the tag

And remove the magnet along with the tag

Everything is ready, the item can be worn

Some tags are more robust in design, so they may require a slightly stronger magnet and its polarity may be critical. If that doesn't work out

You can attach a magnet to the tag with some edge - there the attraction is stronger and closer to the pole

And remove the tag.

It is possible that one end will not work - then you can turn the magnet with the other end.
