Once you give it a gentle tug, the adhesive will peel right off the other side and the bracelet will easily come off.

I can't explain how gratifying it feels to do this. I almost want to go to Costco and pick up a couple thousand Tyvek bracelets right now just so I can take them off.

Used to deliver Newspapers. They came in bundles wrapped in industrial plastic strapping. A tool was issued but the paper's bulk delivery box had no lock. Didn't carry a multi-tool then and brute force was unreliable (various unplanned factors). At the pinched together point (like shown here) I pulled on the inner tab.

If you are careful and very slow, you can take the bracelet off with little damage and reapply... to someone under 21. My friend's older brother taught me that in the beginning of college and it was INVALUABLE! It was so nice not to have to screw with a fake or anything.

That's also the same way to remove those industrial plastic straps that come on some packaging , you know they're diamond dimpled and even hard to cut.. just flip them over and pull on the underside of the plastic.

Hello there and thank you! I have to wear one of these every time I go swimming, I tend to rip it off at the part where there are little serrations, but now I know a better way! Cheers! Joey

Nice. I go to the gym at school every day and they make us wear these annoying bracelets; I've also spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get them off. Now I finally know how! :D
