Gaffer Power Premium Grade Gaffer Tape, Made in the USA, Heavy Duty gaff Tape, Non-Reflective, Multipurpose. 2 Inches x 30 Yards, Black

So, I worked for many years as a production assistant on expensive sets. Gaffers tape (old skool was black, white, and gray—now they have a rainbow of colors) is used for everything. In the music industry (concert stage building -- yeah, I did the Rolling Stones, KISS, etc.) they call if Gaff Tape. Same thing. The Gaffer is the chief electrician or lighting tech on set. The tape is named after their job position, but all member of the crew use it. It is like a super masking tape, or Duck/duct tape that is far less sticky, easy to pull off, but stronger than masking tape. It is also known as cloth tape. So, this is one of the go-to brands we would use on set. There are others, but this tape is really a specialty item (have you seen how much this crap costs?!!), and you want to get it from the companies that specialize in this kind of stuff. This is my favorite brand, as I know it will work, it will stick, it tears nicely, and the quality is always 100%. I have had the unfortunate experience of cheap gaffers tape before. You get what you pay for. There are a few other brands (I wont list them here) that are just as good, but if you are looking at THIS PRODUCT, just buy it and you will not be disappointed. This is the real stuff that real movie, television, and tv commercial professionals use on set in Hollywood and all over the world. Black, gray, and white: White for things like labelling (write on them with black Sharpie); gray to blend in (floor use), and black to NOT reflect light that ends up screwing up your lighting. Also, black is the most common color, so stock up on extra of that.

Im a guitarist doing live shows. It tears off easily, tears off clean, removes easily, and removes absolutely clean. When the price went up, I tried the Amzn Basics brand. Bad move. If you want gaffers tape that does what it is supposed to do with no aggravation, just get the Real USA brand. There is literally a difference.

This is good quality gaffer tape with better adhesion than other brands.

This is so incredibly useful around the house and for projects. Highly recommended. I learned about this from a musician friend. They use it to tape cords up during performances so they are not tripping hazards. The tape removes without leaving residue behind. Great stuff!!

It is pricey but it is the real deal. Like duct tape or electrical tape, the difference between budget and quality tape is huge. Smooth cloth, consistent tearing, adhesive stays where it is supposed to, strong grip that peels off cleanly, and the roll doesn’t melt into a sticky mess on a warm day. Brown is not nearly as dark as the photo. White is great for writing on with a sharpie. Black is black, can’t go wrong with the original.

2016_02_11 My very first use/purchase of

Since discovering gaffers tape I have used it extensively for two things it wasn’t meant for. 1) Im moving my farm from Mo to Wi and if you think THAT is anything less than a monumental task, you are wrong. I bought 40 of those large black heavy duty plastic bins with locking tops to pack and sort heav hand tools and hardware in to make moving -at least the farm end of things- easier. But nothing would stick to them! No Duct tape would last more than a few days or weeks with the changing humidity and temps on those super slick plastic tubs. It would just fall off. But this stuff does! And comes in colors so I can write on them with a Sharpie, then use different colors for different buildings for them to go to at the new place like; Purple for the house, Red for the garage, Yellow for the barn, Green for the workshop. . And this stuff tears easily, the Sharpie doesnt smear and it sticks tight and comes off cleanly! Wow. Finally. Something that actually works like its supposed to! 2) my ancient blind and deaf hound With dementia and urinary incontenence and now also sundowners, walks the house at night peeing and pooping. So I put him in diapers, then a belly wrap and then a waterproof diaper over it all and had to create non stretchy mitten clips of different lengths to secure it all onto his harness. Gaffers tape was the answer. Which also seals all the edges. Hey, it looks ridiculous but it works. yay gaffers tape! No more dog pee/poop in the morning. Dog is happy and I am too.

This tape is real gaffer tape, not just a tricked up duct tape as most are. It adheres well, it tears evenly and when youre removing it, it releases smoothly without tearing. What more can you want?

I got this to cover a place on my couch that the cats had clawed. Unfortunately it wouldnt stick to the nappy material. But the color was perfect. We attached it with clear twist pins. Not perfect but lots better than it was.

This tape works well for my purposes. When doing events, I use this to secure various items to the floor (e.g. step and repeat rug) and wall (e.g. banner). I want a tape that is strong but doesnt leave any residue, and so far so good.
