3M Duct Tape DT8, 3 Pack, Industrial Strength, Multi-Use, Black color tape, 1.88" x 60 yd, Tear by Hand, Professional Grade Adhesive, Perfect for HVAC, Bundling, Moisture Proofing, and Reinforcing

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Damn sticky tape... Almost too sticky for applying it but you know its going to stay in place. Hard to tear so have a knife handy to cut it.

Strong adhesive and tears clean by hand. Works great for general repairs, bundling, and moisture protection. Holds up well indoors and out.

Every toolbox, junk drawer, and glove compartment should have a roll. It’s a simple product, but it works—and sometimes, that’s all you need.

I just got this today and I cut off a piece to try it out. It is a much thinner tape than the usual duct tape. I haven't applied it yet. It might work just as well. Don't know yet. The stickiness seems to be as good as the other good ones. It is just not as heavy duty. Maybe it will work, but I'll have to try it out first on some projects like I have used with the other duct tapes.

This is now my go to tape (in terms of duct tape). It seems to hold up pretty well outside in the sun in comparison to the old-fashioned grey type which, as we all know, turns into dust if the sun is on it for more than a few minutes!One of the most wonderful things about this particular tape is the fact that it leaves little if no residue at all!3M is a wonderful company with a wonderful story behind the companies success that’s worth a read

My husband is always doing something around the house and is always using this 3M Duct Tape. It is reasonably priced per roll although you do have to buy the 3 rolls in this case. But it will never go to waste in our house. He either is wrapping up the weekly amount of newspapers and flyers we have to go in the recycling bin, or breaking up our Amazon boxes or other cartons and tapes them up so as to make sure they stay together and go into the corrrect bin for recycling. He uses this around the house, in plumbing issues, water issues and even on the car to hold things together until he can get somethiing fixed. It is very strong, industrial strength and this is the ones that the Professionals use. Also being made by 3M can gurantee that its a great product. Only thing is that you need to put a paper clip or nail where the tape is cut off at becausse if you leave it just on the roll as is you’ll spend quite a bit of time trying to find the beginning again to use the tape.

3m makes great tape will continue to use works well for my jobs

Sad. I thought 3M made quality products. The adhesive is weak, it tears lengthwise too easily, not waterproof or weather resistant for more than a few weeks. The original duck tape was issued in WW2 by the Defense Department and was made of cloth. The term duck tape was slang used by GIs because of its waterproof capabilities. After the war, the HVAC industry emerged and they used the tape for their duct work, which is why we have this discrepancy in terminology.
