Review on Transparent Scotch Filament Tape Pack for Secure Packaging Solutions by Shawn Reiter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great despite cracking

I'm quite picky about tape and I think you definitely get what you pay for whether you speak tape or not office use or packing tape. As fun as it sounds, I was thrilled to try this tape and be able to use it for packing and other things around the house. I'm also a big fan of duct tape and found it interesting that I can use this duct tape in the same way as duct tape. sealing the packaging. I was surprised, however, to cut through the tape and tear it a few inches when I couldn't get a full cut with my scissors the first time. The threads appear to be linear rather than hatched, making them easy to break when cutting if you're not careful. However, I wasn't worried about this tape tearing on the heavy packages I sent over Christmas. I also used duct tape to fix a cracked handle on a Rubbermaid storage bin that I usually fix with duct tape. The tape sticks well and seems to work just as well as regular tape. When I checked the price to see how much it would cost to buy one myself, I was surprised at the high cost. If I bought the tape myself, I definitely wouldn't use it for packaging every day. I can buy good quality packing tape that costs a lot less per roll than this material. However, this tape definitely has a place in your home for repairs or reinforcements when the need arises. I will definitely buy a roll when this runs out!
