It tears alot easier than duct tape or even gaffers tape.
I\'ve gotten for as little as 50cents per roll, but normally $2-$4 at Home Depot.
It sticks and holds, but leaves no residue... unless it\'s left for about a year in the heat - but then still cleans very easily.
Don\'t get me wrong, gaff tape is better (easier to work with in general) - but not at 3x the price. I\'ll take gaff tape from house anytime, but will always go with this bundling tape or Uline vinyl tape because I can get 4\" widths and cover wires in one pass
It really depends on your application as to whether you should spend the extra money on gaff vs alternatives. 95% of our application is taping wires down in a convention center for 48-72 hours. Gaff is overkill ($$$) for that.
I think one of the standard usages of gaffers tape, is that it is intended for use on high wear and hot gear, like...gaffers gear/lights. Gaffers tape does a great job of not melting, which is a huge deal! FYI, I\'ve had reflectors with grids gaffed together for more than 3 years. It also, looks better. Which is a big deal if you work with clients.
