      Everyone has it, everyone needs it. Why don't you have any? Order some before you run out. 55 yards can go a long way, and also be used up way to quickly. Get some.

              This is always a good product to tape anything and everything in studio and on location. It is a good size -- plenty of tape but not so huge it is hard to carry with you on location. It is hard to find a good balance between a tape that adheres well without impacting the surface on which you are taping. It does not leave adhesive behind but it does still pull up the finish on my wood floors. That is why I gave it 4 stars.

                Simply put if your working on a professional movie set , in studio, on location this is the tape professionals have hanging off their belts. Anything less, your an amateur. Be a professional or at least look like one.

                  I've never used outdoors, but this tape works well inside.

                  Easy to tear. Easy to apply. No residue.

                        pretty good, as gaffer's tape goes, but the adhesive should be a little more powerful

                                  This is everything you expect with gaffer's tape. It comes off the roll easy. Durable but tearable by hand. Sticks well but not "too" well and peels off with no residue.

                                      It's tape. It's sticky. It works well. I'm not sure what else you need.

                                      Save yourself some money or time and pick it up while you are at the store (or save on shipping by adding it to your order). I'm not sure if B&H is the cheapest place to grab it, but it is convenient.

                                        This gaff tape is worth the extra money because it doesn't leave residue like cheaper gaff tapes.

                                            We use this product to create a safe walkway during trainings. It is easy to tear, easy to manipulate and while it sticks amazingly well it is simple to remove. LOVE IT!

                                              Not too much to say about this product- unless you've purchased a generic brand before. I did, and regretted it muchly. Generic tape was too thick, didn't stick well to clothing after 10 mins, and left residue on electronics. So now I buy this stuff, and it works like gaff tape should. Problem solved.

                                                You get what you pay for. High quality gaff tape that leaves no residue and tears easily when you want it to. This tape spoils you.

                                                  I purchased this for its obvious use as photo gaffer's tape for studio applications and have started using it in many different general appications. It is removable and, in my experience, leaves no residue. Although removable, it can mar or lift some weak or old finishes. Use care.
