		Pins Hard tags are attached to the merchandise with the use of an EAS Pin.  Ball bearings inside the EAS Hard Tags hold the pin in place.  When a customer takes the item to be purchased to the cash desk, the sales clerk removes the hard tag by placing it on a detacher.  The detacher is a strong magnet which separates the ball bearings and releases the pin, permitting the sales clerk to remove the hard tag from the merchandise.
