Non-Reflective
This cloth tape has a matte finish that perfectly hides stage markings and other cables in the shadows. It won't intrude during filming and shoots.
Residue-Free
Surface-safe and will not leave any messy residues when removed. Perfect for temporary spaces for shoots, demonstrations, and others.
Easy to Tear
Can be torn by hand easily, so you don't have to prepare a box cutter or a pair of scissors. It's also easy to cut into smaller threads if needed.

Ho acquistato questo nastro per gli eventi da DJ che faccio, lo uso per evitare di avere cavi volanti sul pavimento che potrebbero fare inciampare.Il nastro poi, essendo un gaffer tape, ha un adesivo tale che non lascia residui cosa da non sottovalutare se usato su palchi in legno, parquet o pavimenti delicati.

Va mucho mejor que la cinta americana de siempre, pega fuerte y se adapta a esquinas y objetos con aristas. Muy contento con este tipo de cinta.

Have had a roll of it to test for the last year. It works well, and the rolll has held up in cold/heat/humidity, inside a backpack I've been using it when I need a cheaper gaffer's tape like when I know I'll be rigging the same thing many times for short durations. It does well 90% of the time, but on some surfaces, particularly metals/glass, and when warm, it will leave some residue. In particular, when using it to secure a microphone around a car engine or exhaust it doesn't hold up like the more expensive 3m G2 or SureTape, and gets soft/sticky and slightly loses grip, but is more than sufficient for many jobs. I've also found other purposes for it like organizing wires.

I think this is what people actually want when they go looking for "duct tape" to hold down their electrical cables to the floor and prevent tripping hazards.Unlike the horrible residue that those other tapes leave behind, this is strong, pulls up cleanly and is perfect for holding down electrical or other cables securely to the floor and reducing trip hazards. Better if you can run the cable so it's not over a high-traffic path, but I used this to tape down an extension cord across a doorway and it worked great.When I no longer needed it, the tape pulled up cleanly without any residue on the laminate flooring or the cable it was securing. Just be careful to pull up the tape from the end, rather than pulling it up by the cable - because it *will* stick really well to itself, and then be difficult to remove from the cable. If you do it right, you can even reuse the tape multiple times.

Pros:- Cloth is nice and matte black- Easy to tear, but strong- Super sticky- Comes off clean (so far, haven't left it on anything for too long yet)Cons:- Cloth tears along the grain too easily, so you get narrow strips hanging off- Too sticky, you have to be super careful to keep the tape from sticking to itself- Centre cardboard roll too big, which makes the whole roll much bigger than needed

I originally bought this tape because I wanted something I could put over certain light reflective surfaces that shined too much in my eye with my lighting scheme at my computer desk. I like to sit in a dark room with very specific lighting. I also used it around my window frame to minimize the reflection from the sun when it hits at a specific angle.I've also used this to tape over the edge of my desk where the adhesive woodgrain looking thing was coming off. These have held for many months, and I just peeled one back and put it back on. It only left a bit of adhesive around the edges.I also recently used the tape when building a cardboard/paper layered standoff on my desk to make my mousing giant keyboard/mousepad surface even with my monitor stand base since my new monitor stand base was getting in the way of my mouse. Once all the cardboard/paper was in place under the mousepad, I taped down the edges with this tape.I also used the tape to secure a desklamp I have on top of some stacked boxes shining down light over my monitors, to make sure it doesn't tip over. It's holding perfectly and not coming undone.I'm also using it on some cardboard pieces to cover them and make them black, and I use them to block overly bright areas on my wall and to block the gaps between my monitors which look ugly.All in all, the tape looks great, the black matte is relatively unreflective, it sticks great, stays stuck, but can be undone and restuck, doesn't seem to leave much if any residue except maybe around the edges a bit. Also, when you tear it, it comes apart straight and clean, which is incredible. You have to apply a bit of effort, but then it just snaps apart like magic when you try to tear it like a sheet of paper.I don't know how this stacks up against other gaffer tapes, and since I don't gaff, I can't comment on whether it's good for gaffing. ;)

I've used the bigger-brand gaffers tapes for years and wasn't sure what this brand would be like. For experienced gaff-tape users, suffice it to say this brand is great! For those not that familiar with gaff, or gaffer's tape, this is what is professionally used on stage, movie and TV studios and for field work. Used for holding things in place like fabric, lightweight lighting or audio. Also used to tape down cables or the edges of hard or soft floor coverings for safety. Although from the photo it looks like duct tape, duct tape has no place in any professional application (not even ducts) because it leaves a nearly impossible to remove gummy residue, is glossy, and falls apart within months. This gaffer tape sticks like crazy and holds things amazingly well, but when removed leaves nothing behind. It has a flat black surface that makes things disappear on stage or in front of the camera. It forms well to random shapes, and it's a long-lasting product that should stay strongly in place for years. While applying it, it is easily torn from the side and tears cleanly across. When removing, you might need to cut it anywhere it was wrapped around onto itself. Excellent product from an up-and-coming brand.

In the field, for video and audio equipment as well as around the house, this is the fifth or sixth brand of gaffer tape I've used over the years, and it's different from the others. With this one the cotton cloth is not impregnated with a binder/filler material like all the others. That binder makes the other tapes stiffer, and those stiffer edges make it easier for the fingers and thumbs of your two hands to act like scissors to start a tear at the desired length. Precisely because it is more flexible, this tape requires a much stronger pinch between the index fingers and thumbs of each hand, with the two grips very close to each other, to start a tear. While the other tapes had matte finishes and weren't very reflective, they did have some shine. This tape is perfectly non-reflective, which can be important for professional applications in a darkened theater. The binder in the other tapes also makes it opaque, while this tape is has some transparency since it is just strong cotton cloth with the adhesive. You would only care about that if you were trying to block light with it. This tape is very strong, as strong as the others, with virtually no stretch to it. But its adhesion to surfaces is not as strong. For example, I have on hand a roll of ProGaf tape, also available on Amazon. This XFasten tape is easier to pull off the roll, and when I stick a piece of this and an similar piece of ProGaf to my file cabinet, the XFasten tape seems to need only about half as much force to peel it off. This may have more to do with the flexibility than the adhesive itself. With less flexibility the radius of curvature at the line where the tape is being pulled off is greater, so there is more surface area of adhesive stretching to resist removal. So, compared to the ProGaff tape, which is like the other I've used, here's the bottom line. This tape:1. Is much harder to tear by hand2. Has less adhesion to surfaces, but still enough, in my opinion, for most jobs.3. Would probably have even less adhesive transfer, when removing after a long time, than the others.4. Is much more flexible for following contours and corners5. Will be more invisible in a dark room.6. Would not good for blocking light.
