I thought some of you may be interested in this test of different brands of duct tape.

Which duct tape is best?

Thank you, founder ant. That was informative. I’m a believer in gorilla tape. Yes, it’s expensive. But……….
I like having different sizes, too. They make extra wide, and even better, 1” wide rolls.
better tapes keep their adhesives on better. Cheap junk seems to leave more residue on a surface.

What I found especially enlightening is that no one tape took 1st place in all of the categories. Seems like each tape has its strong and weak points.

I get the 3M for general work, and Gorilla for the heavy stuff, but was surprised at the failure in the shear test.

Very useful video, Thanks. I’d be interested in seeing that same kind of testing done under cold, heat and high humidity conditions too.
