    Can’t you do it with magnets?

      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.

      Based on my experience yesterday, no. Not with regular magnets at least. Need something stronger.
