T-Rex 240998 Ferociously Strong Tape, 1.88 Inches x 35 Yards, Waterproof Backing, Dark Gunmetal Gray, Single Roll

The fabric is weak enough to tear by hand (which is handy, since cutting is a gooey mess), strong enough to last much longer than common plastic film with embedded threads. The adhesive is thick and soft, so it glues to rough or pitted surfaces better than common duct tape. However, it's terribly fussy. A whiff of dust, the merest hint of moisture, grease, oil or lipid defeats it. It doesn't adhere less well to less-than-pristine surfaces, it pretends it has no glue at all. It sticks to itself (front to back) pretty well, and to itself (front to front) extremely well, but those aren't usually as useful as sticking to other surfaces would be. Also, the thick soft adhesive means that even when it does stick, the entire tape is vulnerable to being pushed around, skating on its own slime. I've found places where it's excellent, generally where the surface can be scrubbed before and covered after application. OTOH it's disheartening to tape up a cardboard carton that seems perfectly clean (but can't be effectively cleaned), and watch the T-Rex fall off under its own weight as if it were so much satin ribbon. Perhaps a trick I haven't discovered would solve this, but as it stands T-Rex seems ideal only under ideal circumstances, like being able to wipe with acetone and dry with a heat gun before application. Most of the places I've used T-Rex in the 10 months I've been using it, it was later replaced by something less expensive, with less tensile strength, that sticks better.

I’ve tried 3M heavy duty, gorilla grip all weather, and dewalt Ultra tough. This tape beats all of them in adhesive stickiness and tape strength. Quite surprising to me as all 4 of those name brands are quality and I’ve not heard of t-Rex prior to my purchase. Dewalt ultra tough was a close second. I’m very pleasantly surprised at the adhesive stickiness and thickness of the tape. It’s pretty much the strongest one I was able to find and I will be ordering more.

Very similar to gorilla tape. Sticks very well. So much better than standard duct tape.

This tape really stays where you put it. Best tape I’ve used.

I had terrible luck with Duct tape and Gorilla Tape but this T-Rex tape is amazing! It sticks, stays and holds up to some pretty aggressive abuse. I used it to fix a bandage onto my horse's leg after she was injured and it was the only thing that held up to her abuse. I've since used it for other things and it's never let me down. It's pricier than the other tapes and is worth every single penny.

I consider this to be the equal to Gorilla Tape. I get whichever one is cheaper at the time. Honestly, between them, the only way I really know which one I am using, is to look at the label. I consider that a high compliment to this tape, it is good stuff. Don't use it somewhere that you don't want permanent. I taped something to my office wall with it, and it took some paint off the wall when I removed it.

It sticks very well used it to fix a copper pipe leak that had weak acid water going thru it.

I've heard many good things about this tape so I thought I'd order some. While I've not really had a chance to really use the tape, the small job I did have for it, it worked great. I was a big fan of Gorilla tape & still like their tape but from the little job I used it for made me a bigger fan for the T-Rex tape. So much so that I ordered a 6 pak of it. I had ordered a 6 pak of Gorilla tape but for some reason or another the seller cancelled the order, absolutely no explanation other than "We cannot fill your order." So I said fine, I'll just order the T-Rex. I'm 100% confident that when the time comes, this tape will not let me down. They are now my official go to tape brand.

This tape is STRONG. It resists hot currents of air and pressure pretty well. You could technically use it to block a window off. Prepare to replace it periodically, I wouldn't say too often, but extreme heat can mess with it. I also use it for packaging- it's not as elegant as transparent tape, sure, and if you really want transparent tape I'm sure they make an equivalent version of that. But it gets the job done and doesn't disappoint.

Very strong. Really is a hole lot better than duck tape

The tape was used to tape a box containing a 70-pound item, so adhesion and strength were really, really important. The width of the tape was perfect for our use. The tape adhered extremely well but we noticed that the edges of the tape didn't completely adhere to the box (it was a heavy-duty cardboard box), so we went over the edges with clear packing tape.The package travelled across the country, completely intact, so I would highly recommend this tape when you need a really heavy-duty tape.

A+

If you need a very strong tape that sticks a lot, this is the tape to buy! It is even so sticky that if you try to take it off, you should wear gloves. I didn't and it torn out a bit of my skin on my fingers. This tape is meant to be installed and kept in place for a long time. Not torn off soon after use.
