Bates Gaffers Tape, 2 Inch x 23 Yards, White, Non-Reflective, No Residue, Floor & Cable Tape

Easy to tear but wish it was stickier

This is good gaffe tape. I don't think it is as nice as Bron or Shur, but it is decent, especially for the price. I like having two smaller rolls instead of one large one so I can keep them in different places.

Easy to cut, apply and remove from the carpet without leaving marks behind

There's this spot in my house where I have to run an extension cord to get to a lamp, and the cord doesn't want to lay flat. It get caught on the vacuum, my feet, and my puppy's teeth! I used this to tape it down to the wood floor and it's perfect. Is it invisible - no. But it looks intentional and it's better than tripping. Maybe I'll find this tape in the right shade of 50-year-old oak floor someday, but the black is good for now.

So when you tear off a piece of the tape about 6 to 8 in it twist back on itself right away making it hard to deal with if you're doing something one-handed. Also it has a lot of adhesive residue on the side of the roll so it picks up a lot of dirt and dust.

I run a KJ show and always tape down cords where anyone has to walk over them. The tape sticks great to the bar floor (or to carpet), and lifts off with no issue. Makes setup and tear down easy for me.

Ive been using real gaffers tape for years and got tired of the recent price increases and decided to give this imitation brand a try. Im disappointed.Its more like thin cloth duct tape then real gaffers tape.The bad:Thin, tears too easily.Adhesive is too sticky and hard to peel off. Real gaffers tape holds just as well as duct tape but releases easily with no residueTears unevenly, often ripping down the roll instead of across the roll.

really easy to remove and made a good seal
