COMMERCIAL / PROFESSIONAL Magnet Ink Tag / Sensor Remover

There are three types of sensor removers.  If you are purchasing unprocessed pallets (meaning we have not removed the sensors for you) you will have to remove them on your own.  They are very easy to remove with the three correct tools.

In this listing you are purchasing 1 handheld sensor remover for magnetic sensors and magnetic ink tags.  See video below:

This remover takes off magnet sensors only.  Here are several varieties of magnet sensors. 

If you are not sure what type of sensor is on your item(s), email us photos of BOTH SIDES of the sensor(s).  Support@BigBrandWholesale.com 

THESE ARE INCREDIBLY STRONG PROFESSIONAL / COMMERCIAL MAGNETS!  DO NOT KEEP THEM NEAR ELECTRONICS, CREDIT CARDS OR EACHOTHER!  BigBrandWholesalePallet.com is not responsible for failure to exercise proper care when working with magnets resulting in any form of loss, damage or harm.  

DO NOT TRY “HACKS” SHOWN ON THE INTERNET.  Not only are the internet hacks dangerous but they are exceptionally time consuming.  The more time you spend trying to remove sensors, the slower your turnaround time.  It is always better to buy the correct tools and get the merchandise selling as fast as possible so you can reinvest in more. 

Let's discuss the awful internet advice because it is important you know why it is terrible.  First, burning tags off by melting the plastic with a flame is not only time consuming but it is also incredibly dangerous because you are melting toxic, carcinogenic plastic.  In order for plastic to melt, it has to reach 400-500F!  This level of heat can cause severe burns on your skin and, should the plastic drip, it will ruin the apparel.  

Freezing the tags then smashing them with hammers does not work because a large quantity of sensors now have “freeze proof ink”, but you won’t know if the tag has this type of ink until you smash it open and see if it sprays all over.  Additionally, it is a great way to rip a hole in the apparel. 

Dremmels and similar cutting tools only work if there is space between the apparel and the sensor, which is not common.  Usually the apparel is flush against the sensor so there is no room for a cutting tool.  

Wire Cutters - standard cutters are not strong enough, you would need bolt cutters, which will not fit in the small space.  

The only realistic way to remove the sensors quickly and not ruin your merchandise is with the three proper tools.  If you absolutely refuse to purchase the three tools, you can get some tags off with a mini-pry bar.  It requires a great deal of hand-muscle strength (and time).  This method will not work on tags with ink in them.
