5.0 out of 5 stars All weather is the key!, April 16, 2010

This review is from: 3M 2245 Scotch Heavy Duty All-Weather Duct Tape, 1.88-Inch x 45-Yard, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

This duct tape is the only one to consider in my opinion for any task that will be exposed to the sun and rain, or other extreme conditions. It uses real rubber and is perfect for keeping the sun or bright light off of whatever you cover with it.

I used this tape to cover up some storage totes to make light-tight hydroponic growing boxes. Light in the root-zone means unhealthy plants, so it's critical to block all the light. This tape does the job without degrading or failing if it gets too hot or wet in my basement vegetable garden.

The real deal!

I have a cover over the back of my truck. It started to rip last year. I used duck tape ( not this one) and it did not last long weather got to it I think. This All weather duct tape has been on there twice as long as the other stuff. No sign of it falling apart o losing its bond to the cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as good as Gorilla Tape, May 14, 2011

The church that I work for uses a fair amount of tape to put up signage at the school where we have our services. We need tape that affixes to mixed surfaces like brick walls and sandstone pillars. We've used this tape as well as Gorilla Tape , and I thought it might be useful to compare the two for potential purchases.

Scotch's Heavy Duty duct tape is not nearly as heavy duty as Gorilla tape. It is thinner, less sticky, and not nearly a durable. In every way Gorilla tape comes out ahead in our applications. The only real advantage to Scotch's tape is that there is more of it per roll, and so it's about 20% cheaper than Gorilla tape. For some jobs, it probably doesn't matter which tape you use, so cheaper comes out ahead--but when you're trying to affix 30x40 foamboard signs to a brick wall, Gorilla tape is the clear winner.
