I'm an instructor of video and audio courses. I tell my students that black gaffer tape is an important part of their field equipment wherever they're going and whatever they're doing! It's sturdy but tear-able, unobtrusive and has a million uses. Two advantages it has over duct tape are, one, it's matte black so there's no extra "shine" and you hardly notice it in a shot unless it's pointed out, and, two, it doesn't leave that sticky residue that duct tape does.
This is a great product. I highly recommend it.

Looks like gaffer tape. Costs like gaffer tape. Preforms like duct tape.
On shoot this weekend. used this tape to secure lavaliere mic cords to the inside of talent's clothing. After 2 days in place the tape left all of its adhesive on the clothing. Clothing ruined.
Gaffer tape should not leave adhesive behind. Period.
On same shoot adhesive was left on microphone boom poles, studio floor and the side of my camera.
If you are used to P-665 or P-672 stay away from this tape. You might as well save you money and use duct tape.

Comments about General Brand Gaffer Cloth Tape - Black:
I have used many different brands and types of gaff tape over the years and was never really happy before. This tape has very good gripping hold, little or no residue, easy to tear but very strong. I recently used it to run a coax cable along a school hallway that had yet to be cleaned. The tape held where others wouldn't even attempt. After a week the tape was still in place and when I removed it there was no gunky adhesive stuck to either the block wall, floor or cables. The price is very good for such a long length.

Comments about General Brand Gaffer Cloth Tape - Black:
I use this tape all the time on small shoots, from holding up lighting scrims etc when I'm out of clips, to taping down cables in public walk areas to avoid trip hazzards. Less risk in damaging paint and leaving residue makes a roll or two of this tape an integral part of my go-bag.
