Got a magnet? Fiddle about with that over the bump in the tag and the

not be enough but worth a try. Have the tag inverted ie bump down
perhaps, tap magnet against bump or hold magnet against bump point and
tap the whole lot down on to a hard surface.

Or you could go for brute force and ignorance and bash the bump with a
hammer and smash it open/off but some tags have dye in them...



not going to risk it as the gloves are quite expensive though loverly to
wear as they keep my hands really warm whilst working in the rain.
