Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape, 3/4 in x 66 ft, Black

This is the best electrical tape.

This tape is excellent! It isn't super-thick, but should be good for most types of electrical work/repairs. The adhesive is strong, and doesn't loosen or "bubble up" after the tape is stuck down. When pulling it off the roll, it is easy to cut and wrap around wires, without it sticking together too much. In the past, if the tape has stuck and I can't separate it, I've had to throw away the whole length - which is frustrating when doing multiple projects.Not to mention it comes in a plastic container, which helps keep dust and other debris from getting stuck on the tape - as inevitably happens when you leave a roll of electrical tape "lying around."I would certainly buy this again over any other brand or ANY day. It is UL listed, too - not something you see with all types of less-expensive, off-brand tape.

This stuff is the real deal. I have used a lot of electrical tape around the house for electronics and most of the time, it does not last. I have also used it for my masonry job for replacing and fixing conduits that I destroy because thats what masons do; if its in the way, break it and get it out of the way.Anyway, most of the time we use the cheaper walmart or homedepot brands but I decided to try a higher grade tape. It is completely worth it as it lasts longer and sticks to seemingly everything. It also seems a lot thicker and harder to rip than the average e-tape. This is definitely a good thing, especially when using it outside where it is exposed to the elements. This stuff wears like iron and stays stuck to what you want it to.It is easier to have a knife or scissors to cut this as it is very tough tape. I have not tried it, but it is also flame retardent and provides a water-tight seal when pulling it tight enough, taking advatage of the stretch ability of the tape. For the price, it is completely worth it as one roll will last quite a while for everday chores around the house. It is absolutely second to none when using in the out-of-doors. Great stuff, I highly recommend over the cheaper tape.

Technical Info:If you want the best chance of Quality, unlike most "CCS" Cheap China Stuff) products, 3M is always the best quality and bang for the buck.Per 3M techs: This Super 33+ is identical to the Super 88 Electrical Tape - Except the Super 88 is thicker by .023 mm which may not seem like much but you can definitly feel the difference when stretching a wrap on. The extra thickness means longer UV life.If you want to seal out moisture and rain - 1st seal it with the 3M Scotch 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape, which basically bonds together when wrapped, then wrap the Super 33+ or the Super 88 (prefered all weather tape). This is why I gave this a 4 star and not a 5 star for UV applicationsOne other tip with the electrical tape application - don't stretch the last 2 or 3 wraps because the tension will give a better chance for it to come loose.Hope this helps the all you DIYers (Do I Yourselfers)

I use this and super 88 tapes depending on application... or what I can find at the moment.I've used less expensive tapes but this brand seams to stick the best and leaves less sticky dark residue on things than the other brands. I use it on wiring, on top of the same brands rubber coating and I have put it on the silicone tape to protect that from abrasion.It sticks well within reason. Sand and grease will hurt any tape so clean things off first.The mess created by other brands is my biggest concern, I once made a harness for a power supply and wrapped it inside split loom. I used a different brand tape and the result was that I had a mess on walls, my desks my equipment, etc. All at room temps.My last use of of split loom was for coaxial cable in the living room. This is by far a better product than any other brand I have used. Including the brands with animals on the label.I use it everywhere for electrical now. It may upcost 2 times the price but I've had really good luck, even opening up harnesses in vehicles years later where I used it.Every year I have to weatherproof an AC extension cord to the device cord that plugs in. (I have to replace the device every year) I may change up the first coating between the rubber and silicone but this is the only tape I trust for this application. It manages UV pretty well too.

So far seems like nice sticky electrical tape

A classic black tape, like used by electricians everywhere professionally. This 3M is particularly decent, with a good stretch and a decent level of stickiness without immediately sticking to itself. It comes off the roll easily, and cuts cleanly. It's lead-free. For ease of use, I haven't use any better.Quibbles. There's a really potent smell of vinyl when working with a new roll, I hate to think of what I'm inhaling (especially after seeing the California cancer warning on the back). My roll came in a small plastic hard case, which might be useful when piled in with a bunch of other tape in a pro's kit, but is unnecessary waste for consumers who'll chuck the case first thing.If you're a DIYer, especially if you have some ancient, short spools of electrical tape around that's a pain to peel and the adhesive is all weird? Do yourself a favor and get some quality stuff-- it's not much more expensive, and it's so much easier to work with. Recommended.

Great tape
