Lockport Black Gaffers Tape 4 inch x 30 Yards - Pro Black Gaff Tape - No Residue, Water Resistant, Non- Reflective, Easy Tear - Multipurpose Photography, Filming, Stage, Production, and More

Update: After reading my review the seller has offered me a refund on this product which I have accepted. Thanks for that. This tape has hardly any tack to it. I bought gaffers tape specifically because it has strong adhesion but this tape is no stronger than scotch tape. It says on the package that is supposed to have strong tack to it so I am thinking they sold me something that was old and dried up, but this is not the gaffers tape that I know.

This purchased was a good idea for taping down cords and not leave residue when removing the tape. That's the great idea about gaffer tape it doesn't leave residue. I would recommend this product to my family members and friends alike.

wide and good quality

I used to just use duct tape for floor cords and such, but found that gaffer's tape works MUCH better. It's usually stickier, doesn't splinter as easily, doesn't leave residue when peeled up, and the back of it has a rough texture that offers traction when stepped on. It also usually comes back up without splintering too, so it's much easier to remove when it's time to pack up. These rolls are wider than the common rolls, which unfortunately makes them a good deal more expensive. The cost is my only complaint, although nobody seems to really offer it any cheaper than this, so I guess I'll take it. I just use the wide stuff a little more sparingly for when it's needed, rather than having to lay down two or three runs of the narrower rolls. This is one of those things that you should have one roll of on-hand, just in case. And it's handy enough that you'll find other uses for it that you weren't anticipating. The matt-black color will also be useful for anyone doing stage or halloween setup, where you don't want the audience to see or risk tripping over cables or even see that cables are being hidden. And it can be used to cover anything else you want to hide too. It's like an invisibility cloak at night.

Great stuff! I have to secure a hundred feet of wiring for a large venue. Easy removal too!

I got this tape for some events that I was doing. The good thing about it is it holds everything in place very well. There is one very problematic issue I’ve had with this tape that I have not had with any other brands that I’ve bought in the past. At the end of the first gig I used it for, I pulled it up off of the floor where it was holding cables in place, and it did such a good job sticking to that floor that it left huge chunks of the white adhesive part of the tape on the floor. Note, it was not residue of any kind, it was the actual tape. Took quite a while to get it off. Not what anyone wants to do after a long night. Did the same thing to a couple stands etc. at other events. THE FIX: I found that if you PULL IT UP VERY, VERY SLOWLY it USUALLY fixes (or greatly reduces) the problem. Normally I would not bother giving a review but I thought I would be kind and try to save others a couple of minutes of frustration. CONCLUSION: I was going to give this three stars or maybe even less. But when I thought about it, I realized this tape has become my go to for expensive equipment that I want to protect from falls or less than sober people at events (I run sound, DJ, play keys etc. at three or more venues a week). It DOES NOT let go until you want it too. So even though the clean up can be a pain I have to say it is extremely reliable. Just take your time taking it off.

This 4 inch gaffers tape is perfect. It saves me from buying more tape. If I need a thinner piece it rips in half easily.

This gaff tape would not stick to cables, pipe and drapes poles, carpet, or tile. It sure stuck to itself, though. Within a few hours of pavement, it was already peeling off and became a mess. We had not even started our event yet, and the tape was already loose and tangled up, as shown in the photos. This is the first gaff tape that I've had do this.
