REAL Professional Premium Grade Gaffer Tape by Gaffer Power - Made in the USA - White 2 Inch X 30 Yards - Heavy Duty Gaffer's Tape - Non-Reflective - Multipurpose - Better than Duct Tape

I love this stuff. It tears evenly by hand every time and sticks to most dry, clean surfaces and even some dirty ones. I've never had an issue with it pulling off paint except when the paint job wasn't properly prepped. I use the white variety to add an extra seal around window air conditioners and it works great for the whole season. I use it to tape HVAC filters to box fans for frugal air "purifiers." Don't spend crazy money on gimmicky air purifiers. They get you on the replacement filters, too. Instead, get high end filters at home improvement stores. Inexpensive, very effective and serviceable, but the tradeoff is a McGyver aesthetic. These have been used widely during wildfires to filter out soot when everything else was sold out. Lots of other uses. Obviously, securing cords and cables like a real gaffer is a major one. I always keep a roll of black and a roll of white on hand. Yes, it is definitely expensive, but you can immediately feel the difference between it and cheapo brands when you first pull a strip off the roll. It tends to be thicker, it tears better and the adhesive is superior. Save it for applications where you really need this specialized product. Use duct tape for things you don't really care too much about or for basic daily stuff.

This is the best gaffers tape I have tried. Sticks very well, easy to handle, and leaves no residue when removed (aside from some tape I had in a high traffic area for over 2 years (yes, it's that reliable). I was very disappointed when the white one in particular went out of stock. I tried others and all of the ones that claimed to be white were more of a cream color (an issue when you're trying to mask things in a white environment). I also use the black variety of this tape, and it is just as reliable as this one. I will keep an extra white on hand going forward in case they run out of stock again.

Surprisingly solid tape for the price. It sticks well, tears cleanly, and actually doesn’t leave residue, which is rare. The matte finish makes it great for labeling or hiding cables, and it holds up without peeling. The only downside is the roll feels a little smaller than expected, but the quality makes up for it. Great for quick fixes, crafts, and organizing.

This is my first purchase of gaffer tape, so I can't compare this brand with others. But I can say that this product has amazed me. I bought it originally to place a marker at the top of our stairs, for safety. The flooring and the stairs are both the same laminate, and it was easy to miss the first step. It has been on the floor now for more than 2 weeks, and although we have walked over it many times, it continues to adhere to the floor with no peeling at all. Then I used it to stick a temporary notice to the front door of our church. It stuck there in the wind just fine, and when I removed it later not only did the tape lift off the door as clean as a whistle, it peeled off the paper just as well. It was just ordinary copy paper, but it was just as pristine after I removed the tape as it was before. Then the sliding door in our shower wouldn't stay closed. It slowly drifted open during a shower. The track on which the rollers ran was sloping slightly. I took a piece of the tape and wrapped it around the track. That was enough to stop the drift, but the door slides over it easily when we open or close it in the normal way. It will require replacement after a while, but it will be easy to remove the old piece, leaving no residue, and replace it as required. Already, I am wondering how I ever managed without this amazing stuff. So glad I found it! 1st February 2022 - UPDATE! OK so the tape I used to mark the top of my stairs (see above) held wonderfully. But today it was looking a bit grungy and I decided it was time to renew it. I was a bit apprehensive. My friend who is an engineer at a radio station told me gaffer tape is great, but if you leave it in place too long, it won't come off cleanly. So it has been there 4 months, and we have been walking on it several times a day. How will it perform? The video tells the story. At first the tape pulled off perfectly - for about the first 18 inches. After that some residue was left. (It took a lot of effort to pull it off the laminate flooring, yet the tape didn't tear.) Then, I found that all I had to do to remove the residue was to press the tape that had come off well against the remaining residue. I had wondered if I would have to use a solvent to do the job, but no! The second picture shows the laminate after all the tape was removed, and it is absolutely pristine. No need at all to clean off any remaining residue. Wow again!

The best tape is gaffer tape. I carry it when I travel. It can hang things (there are never enough hooks), tape curtains closed, cover all the horrid little blinky lights on chargers and sockets and TVs in rooms at night, repair little rips and loose luggage handles, tape down cords, backup first aid, and many other uses, all while being easy to tear, easy to remove, without leaving residue or ruining paint (you should test carefully, but it's often flawless), even when there's some moisture involved. Rips easily, sticks on everything, holds well, then comes off easy and clean. It's just great. Oh, it's also used on film sets and for other electrical purposes and works well there too. Only docked a star because it's pricey.
