I use a lot of Gaffers in all different colors for live musical performances and stage shows. That being said, I've tried all brands - honestly, this tape will do the job but it's not the best. The side of the roll has a sticky residue to it and the tape isn't as thick and "cloth-like" as other Gaffers. The best I've used thus far is Pro-Gaff and after buying this, I will continue to get only Pro-Gaff. Like I stated before, this stuff will do the job, but it's definitely not what I would consider "choice" tape.

We decided to create a haunted castle theme for our Halloween party, and ordered a rolls of dungeon and catacombs printed plastic to cover the walls. We tried the Sticky Tack recommended to hang the stuff, and even the small pieces would NOT stay up more than a few minutes! We have smooth painted walls and wood crown moulding, and tried attaching it to both surfaces with no luck. We tried double-sided tape, with even worse results. After researching online, I found this gaffers tape. This stuff is what they use for set building and holding stuff for stage performances. I figured that, if it is good enough for a stage production, where you just can't have stuff falling down during a show, then it should work for our purposes. Eureka! All of the wall rolls, scene setters, decorations went up and stayed up! The tape is easy to work with, you can even tear it with your fingers, yet it is strong. It is matte black so does not reflect. For what I paid for this roll (and about 1/2 is still left after covering a lot of wall space!), I paid about as much for the other stuff that did not work, so Gaffers Tape is worth every penny. I wish I'd had it before, as it would have eliminated wasted time and frustration! I highly recommend this tape and will be ordering it again next year!

This tape is great!
The essential problem with tape is that it usually either sticks too much, or it sticks too little. It's so hard to find tape that will hold something in place for as long as you need it there, then allow you to remove it without tearing everything up, pulling paint off of the wall or leaving a sticky residue. This tape solves that problem.
Gaffers tape is the stuff that they use on the sets of plays and films to hold things together securely but temporarily. It does jobs like taping down wires and cables, attaching cloth to walls, securing corners of boxes, and so on. A small piece will hold almost anything where you need it to stick, then when you want to remove it, you just pull it up. No residue and no damage to what it was stuck to.
The one real problem is finding gaffers tape at a reasonable price; it's not a standard item at the hardware store, and it's usually not cheap. This product is the solution to both of those problems. It looks like it costs a lot, but you'll find the roll lasts a VERY long time.
Bottom line: This stuff works like magic, and it's a great value.

All-around great gaffers tape, but...
This stuff is great. Strong, flexible, good for almost any project. I have to say, this particular brand of gaffers tape happens to be the absolute thinnest type I have ever... Read more

Doesn't stick very well
Was using this tape to hold up some wires temporarily on a wall. I chose Gaffers tape since it doesn't leave any residue on the wall after you remove it. Read more

Decent quality.
It's an average gaffers tape. Not as thick as some, but decent quality. Was satisfied with the purchase for the money.

Intertape 5638 Gaffers Tape
This tape is adequately strong and it adheres well. The backing offers about as much friction as the surface of a nylon parka. Read more

black tape
What's not to like? Same quality stuff I got from the camera store, at a better rate. Better than duct tape too.

Good Tape
It's good, reasonably priced gaffer's tape. It's easy to tear, sticky enough, and didn't leave residue. I'm not sure what more you can say about it!

Leaves residue. A LOT of it.
I've had this tape for a while and it's the bane of my existence. Every time I pull it out of my gear closet, it leaves residue where it was laying, just from the excess stickyness... Read more
