3M 03429NA 051131034297 Scotch Electrical Tape, 3/4-in, Black, 1-Roll, 3/4 in. by 66 ft

I bought this to mark the tools in the tool kits for my (multiple) motorcycles. I have found when doing roadside/trail maintenance or repairs it is very easy to lose tools on the ground. A circumferential piece of yellow tape makes them very easy to spot... also marks your territory when someone else borrow/uses any of your tools. I buy the Scotch brand as it seem to have the strongest, longest lasting adhesion and the yellow does not noticeably fade over the years.

Super thin and elastic, easier to use than other tapes I’ve used in the past

I thought all electric tapes are similar and it did not matter who the maker was. But I was wrong. Previous tapes purchased from Amazon and Home Depot performed poorly or were inconsistent in terms of performance: the tapes did not adhere well; they were hard to cut; they did not hold well when stretched; and etc. . This purchase from 3M was different. It comes off relatively easily. It cuts easily with regular sharp scissors. It stretches without snapping. It manages to adhere well even after stretching. It wraps around well and sticks well. You can apply multiple times on top of layers and the tape will still adhere well. It works well in all ways. . My advice for using: Use sharp scissors. Do not handle too much. Make sure your hands are clean. Make sure your scissors are clean. Stretch the tape while still on the roll as your apply and then cut. If you have to apply the tape on top of a previous layer, be sure to press it down well with a blunt object. . Well priced. Sized right. Would buy again.

work well.

Good, hard to tear off tho, sticks ok.

I actually decided that I was going to use this to hold my dogs smart tag together and keep the battery in place. He kept losing signal when hed jump the fence to go be the wondering soul that he is. And well after the several thousand dollars Ive spent paying his fines. I threw my hands up and said jokingly that I was going to tape the tag to him. So I inturn raped it to his collar. He got out about a week ago and the control officer said that he was going to waive the fee for this time because he had such a hard time unwrapping the tag to verify the SN that I gave him inside that he just picked him up to ask what type of electrical tape I used.

It’s electric tape. It works. A whole lot cheaper locally, but I was just being lazy.

My family would tell you Im obsessed with tape. Having the right tape for the right job is very important to me. I have a large tape collection of specialized tapes Ive ordered over the years from tape wholesalers to address a myriad of needs. So when I designate a tape as multi-use that says a lot! Im thrilled to have found this tape in the Violet color at Amazon! I use different colors for different purposes and violet has always been designated as my travel tape. I originally purchased a 6 pack of this brand in 6 different colors from our local Ace Hardware. Each roll lasted for years. Our local store no longer sells them in multi-packs nor do they carry the violet color any longer. So I replenished other colors from them but not my most used color of violet. In retrospect I wish Id discovered that Amazon carries this first! Amazons prices for most colors are far better than Aces. Here most rolls cost $3.98. A few, like blue and violet cost $6.15. The higher price is about what we paid at the hardware store for all the individual colors. I use the violet tape to wrap around the lids of containers with liquids to prevent leakage caused from the pressurization of airplanes. After sealing the cracks with this violet tape each little travel sized bottle is placed into a small ziplock baggie too. Just in case I didnt do a good enough job wrapping the lid and some body lotion or hair conditioner leaks out anyway...its mess is contained to the immediate baggie its in. I love my system which is highly dependent upon this exact brand of tape. Frankly I never really noticed that this was electrical tape before and in a pinch Ive tried to use standard black electrical tape for this same purpose but with poor results. There are 2 main reasons this tape is far superior. First the stretchiness of this brand enables it to conform better to each lid shape improving the failure rate (meaning less leakage) a lot. 2nd, this tape leaves no residue behind. So when I arrive at my destination I remove the tape used to seal each container and stick it to the side of a vinyl cosmetic bag to be reused for the return trip. The longevity of this brand of tapes use for this purpose is remarkable. In some instances the same piece of tape has been reused many, many times with no loss of stickiness. So the main benefits of this brand of tape versus other more typical electrical tapes include: 1. This brand is much stretchier. 2. This tape leaves zero residue behind 3. It retains its stickiness after many uses 4. Its reusability factor is very good When I use any other tape for the same purpose it rarely lasts beyond 1 trip. One minor disadvantage exists which is that because of its stretchiness, when a piece has been stretched a lot and then I place it on the side of a cosmetic travel bag to be reused for a return trip...the tape itself no longer lies flat. Thats because the edges have been stretched and they become misshapen and sort of bumpy. This doesnt negatively impact its use but it just makes it look messy and unkept. But once its reused this disadvantage disappears. Its really a minor thing! What more can I say about this amazing tape? Well one more thing I can think of is some of my other uses which include labeling things, identifying things by tape color and last I sometimes use this brand of tape for actually wrapping worn sections of charging cables...so thats kind of an electrical use I guess :-) I love the huge variety of colors this tape comes in as well! Thats about all I can think of off the top of my head. I truly believe anyone trying this tape for the 1st time will be equally impressed!

this is not your grocery or pharmacy cheaply made tape. this is 3M Scotch brand with hearty stick and ease of use. the real electrical tape for real electrical stuff. i use it for bike bar tape end wrap, electrical stuff, and really anything i want to stick but may want not to stick later. even after a year, i can remove it with only minimal goo.. nice thick roll should last me a good long while.

Theres lots of adhesive on the side of the roll so setting it down expect tons of dust and such to end up caked to it.
