The past might be dictating how or why you should be cautious or reluctant to take the risk youre being encouraged to take now. However, perhaps, in the first instance, you should be asking yourself what you have to lose by doing so. Then, focus on what you stand to gain. That should hopefully dispel any fears that history will repeat itself. It wont. Read more... summary pisces tomorrow Star 9/10 We are all aware of how less can often be more.

Sticks well
I bought this tape to stick on my apartment door's siding because the door wasn't installed correctly and doesn't seal properly. Used it more as a blackout tool so passersby can't see the light from inside my apartment and think my door is unlocked. Worked great! Even with the friction of the door opening and closing, it sticks in place much better than the old electrical tape I was trying to use - which I had to re-fix to the siding at least once a week. Since then, I've used this to cover up some sharp hooks so my cat wouldn't injure herself or get caught on them, and it works great for that, too. I know these aren't typical uses for electrical tape - but I think they show how effective it is! This would be great for use on exposed wires on charging cables, etc. However, in the past, using electrical tape for that purpose has resulted in a sticky mess with some residue being left on the cables a week or so after application. Not sure if this would be a problem with this brand of tape.

My go-to tape for anything I care about
Just about the highest quality electrical tape on the planet. Strong yet flexible. Quality adhesive that, if you look closely, you can see is in small horizontal "ridges" or "lines" in. Those lines work as grip. As with any electrical tape, wrap it tight/stretch it as you're wrapping. Then those lines hold on for dear life. SOOOO much better than any 2 dollar tape from Wally World or etc.

Best Electrical Tape out There.
This stuff is the real deal. I have used a lot of electrical tape around the house for electronics and most of the time, it does not last. I have also used it for my masonry job for replacing and fixing conduits that I destroy because thats what masons do; if its in the way, break it and get it out of the way. Anyway, most of the time we use the cheaper walmart or homedepot brands but I decided to try a higher grade tape. It is completely worth it as it lasts longer and sticks to seemingly everything. It also seems a lot thicker and harder to rip than the average e-tape. This is definitely a good thing, especially when using it outside where it is exposed to the elements. This stuff wears like iron and stays stuck to what you want it to. It is easier to have a knife or scissors to cut this as it is very tough tape. I have not tried it, but it is also flame retardent and provides a water-tight seal when pulling it tight enough, taking advatage of the stretch ability of the tape. For the price, it is completely worth it as one roll will last quite a while for everday chores around the house. It is absolutely second to none when using in the out-of-doors. Great stuff, I highly recommend over the cheaper tape.

Keeps Out That Pesky Electricity
Turns out it's not very conductive, which additionally turns out that's exactly what I needed. Since it comes in a container, you shouldn't expect that it's going to stick to everything in your drawer after five years of not being used. Nice touch.

QUALITY VINYL TAPE
As a Telephone Repairman in the 1970-80's I have literally placed hundreds of rolls of vinyl tape on electrical wire. The Phone Company used a tape they referred to as "F-Vinyl Tape". I thought that stuff was good tape however this Super 33+ tape is several levels better than the Telco tape. The tape is thin, strong and stretches well onto whatever you're trying to insulate. This tape is actually a standard used by the radio communications community on coaxial connectors placed on towers. One tip: If you cut the "tape end" with scissors rather than stretch it until it breaks, the tape tends to not retract and come loose on the end of the splice after a few months. Other words; stretch the tape on to the splice as required EXCEPT right at the end of the tape run. If you use the "stretch cut" at the end of the tape, the "stretch tension" placed in the tape will tend to pull itself off the tape run and you get a loose piece of tape hanging from your splice which will only get longer over time. The last few inches should be placed gently and thoroughly after being cut with scissors. Anyway, this 3M Super 33+ tape is good stuff.

If you store it in the container it comes in, this will be the best electrical tape you ever use.
Seriously good tape. Miles better than every cheap roll out there you can buy. Tears well without excessive stretching. Very sticky and the adhesive does not give out in hot weather. Highly recommend you store it in the container that it comes in. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's not even an option. Just use the plastic container.

TAPE IT UP!
you would think Tape is Tape. Well that is not correct. I used 3-m tape at my employment for years, large telecom company. we had switched to another company for a while and wow what a difference. I am sure there is other good tapes out there, but I am willing to buy 3-m because I know their product. If anyone knows of other 5-star tapes-let me know. one of the tricks to keeping the tape from melting and getting sticky, keep the plastic container. Now that I am retired I don't use as much and the plastic cover seems to help.

good tape, decent size spool
A classic black tape, like used by electricians everywhere professionally. This 3M is particularly decent, with a good stretch and a decent level of stickiness without immediately sticking to itself. It comes off the roll easily, and cuts cleanly. It's lead-free. For ease of use, I haven't use any better. Quibbles. There's a really potent smell of vinyl when working with a new roll, I hate to think of what I'm inhaling (especially after seeing the California cancer warning on the back). My roll came in a small plastic hard case, which might be useful when piled in with a bunch of other tape in a pro's kit, but is unnecessary waste for consumers who'll chuck the case first thing. If you're a DIYer, especially if you have some ancient, short spools of electrical tape around that's a pain to peel and the adhesive is all weird? Do yourself a favor and get some quality stuff-- it's not much more expensive, and it's so much easier to work with. Recommended.

A very good electrical tape that I will buy again
A nice quality electrical tape that works. I don't often have need of electrical tape, but when I do, I want it to work. This tape does. It is smooth to the touch, comes off the roll easily, and wraps easily. I have found that regardless of how I wrap it, it stays put. A single layer of wrap is strong enough to keep most cords and wires together, which is what I imagine most people are using it on. This means you aren't wasting any, which I like. I have also found that this tape lasts for a while on the roll. I've had a roll not be used up for a couple of years and work just as well at the end of the roll as it did in the beginning. This is an excellent electrical tape to keep stocked in your junk drawer or utility bench. It should prove useful to professionals and casual users alike.

Friends don't let friends use cheap electrical tape
A long time ago I made the mistake of buying one of those colored packs of vinyl tape from HD. Fast forward about 10 years and I'm still trying to find non-electrical applications to waste those dumb rolls on. For any electrical work, I pretty much only use Scotch Super tape. It sticks and stretches about 5x better than the cheap stuff I have. This means you apply it once and forget it. With the cheap stuff, with enough heat cycles (engine bay) or enough time it may come undone. The cheap stuff also doesn't stretch well, which is really needed when you're wrapping oddly shaped wire masses or soldered joints. 33+ is good for general purpose, and 88 is good for applications where you need thicker coverage. Do it right the first time get the good stuff! It's not worth saving a buck or two for the cheap stuff. I bought 10 rolls of Scotch Super so I'll always have a roll handy somewhere.
