It does what it says it will do.

What I wanted

Great tape, luv it

Keeps everything together nicely! Don’t need to replace it often like I did with other tapes.

It works as it supposed to, but Im not sure why it leaves a black residue and slides down the wire I put it on. Does anyone have any tips on keeping it from sliding off? My put it on my phone charging wire cause it had a crack but the tape keeps moving down

I use a lot of electrical tape. But most are not pliable, or dont stretch for applications, or leave that black glue on your fingers and everything you used it on. I was surprised how nice and easy it is to use good tape. I do recommend using scissors to cut for a clean application and appearance.

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!

Very fast shipping. 3M tape is good stuff. You are paying about $2 more than Home Depot or Lowe’s. But it’s worth it for the convenience of Amazon fulfillment.

I have tried multiple different brands of electrical tape for different wiring projects but nothing comes close to 3M quality. I recently tried insulating a wiring repair with tape bought from everyones favorite discount tool store with the initials HF. Well that stuff was garbage and would barely stick to anything, including itself. I intentionally searched for and bought 3M because I figured if anyone could get it right it would be them, and I was right. Great flexibility and adhesion. I checked my work a few weeks later and was very happy to see all tape ends still firmly adhered to the work, not lifting up like the other brands I have used. When you want to best go with 3M.

Great Tape
