Will it work on any security tag?

No. It is made for common magnetic pin-and-tag fasteners. Some stores use different tag systems, including ink or lanyard tags, that this will not release.

Does it need batteries or charging?

No. It is a passive magnet in a metal housing, so there is nothing to power or charge.

About 73 x 73 x 35 mm, roughly 2.9 x 2.9 x 1.4 inches. That is small enough to sit by a register or in a drawer.

Only on tags you are authorized to remove, such as your own store's stock or a tag left on your own purchase. Using it on merchandise you do not own is theft.

What comes in the box?

The detacher itself, in the quantity you choose. No tools or instructions beyond that.

Our take on the Magnetic Tag Remover

This is a handheld magnetic detacher for retail security tags. You set the cup over the tag and press down to release compatible pins and fasteners. It is aimed at shop staff, thrift and boutique workers, and resellers who pull tags often. It is a plain single-purpose tool: no electronics, no batteries, nothing to charge. Against branded detachers it is cheaper and simpler, but it is not a universal key, and it will not release every tag system.
