- General repair
- Heavy duty repair
- Bundling
A value-priced cloth duct tape whose aggressive natural-rubber adhesive sticks well to masonry, wood, plastic, and glass for heavy-duty repairs and bundling. It stretches around bends, hand-tears cleanly, and costs less than Gorilla. The trade-offs: a thinner shell wears faster outdoors, and the adhesive can leave residue on delicate surfaces.
Pros
- Aggressive rubber adhesive sticks well to masonry, wood, plastic and glass
- Cheaper than Gorilla while still handling most heavy-duty household jobs
- Stretches and conforms around bends and corners with clean hand-tearing
Cons
- Slightly thinner shell than Gorilla, so it wears faster in sustained outdoor use
- Rubber adhesive can leave residue on delicate surfaces
- Silver/gray backing is very visible and looks utilitarian on finished projects
