Super Lock Round Detacher vs SHINE Super Designer Detacher

Both are passive magnetic detachers for hard security tags, so the choice comes down to magnet strength versus size and finish. The Super Lock Round Detacher has the stronger 16000GS magnet and a heavier 4 lb body that stays put on a counter, which suits busy apparel and footwear checkouts. The Super Designer Detacher (12000GS) is smaller, lighter and better finished in sandblasted aluminium, and it is the one to pick if counter space is tight or the unit sits in view. Owners of both report simple, maintenance-free operation; the Super Lock's extra force is the safer bet for stubborn or tamper-resistant tags.

• Choose the Super Lock Round Detacher if you want maximum magnetic pull, a weighty unit that stays anchored at a busy checkout, and removal of Super Lock and compatible hard tags.
• Choose the Super Designer Detacher if you want a compact, polished aluminium detacher that handles most RF tags, including designer tamper-resistant tags, and blends into the counter.
