LockportBlack Gaffers Tape 4 Pack — 30 Yards x 2 Inch — Waterproof, No Residue, Non-Reflective, Easy Tear, Matte Gaffer Stage Tape – Gaff Cloth Tape for Photography, Filming Backdrop

I run an event production company and have crunched the numbers and this is the cheapest gaff tape we could find that is consistently good. It feels a little thinner than some of the more expensive stuff on the market but for one-time use it's perfect. Doesn't leave residue or rip up carpet. Doesn't take the finish off hardwood.

I used gaffer tape to “temporarily” patch up some carpeting in the church (yeah, not it’s intended use, not for long-term) and it was shriveling up. I dug up the roll of tape we had used before, and it was nasty, lumpy on the roll, supper sticky. I pulled up some of the shriveling tape, and it left a dark, adhesive residue, something that previous tapes had not done. Looking at our Amazon purchases, I noticed we had gone “economy” based on ratings, What a mistake! We went back to this brand, and while it is hiding the sins of the “economy” tape, I am confident that when it comes time to renew the “temporary carpet fix” till we can get new carpet, that the tape will be easily removed and replaced as needed. Great stuff, the real gaffer tape.

If you use gaff tape then you know how handy it is for everything. I use this for occasional audio and video recording, but I use it in my office and shop too as it holds strong and doesn't leave a residue. This brand rips easily off the roll and works just like I expected. Incredibly versitile; I'd recommend everyone have a few rolls at home. Always in the color black, but that's the point! Great deal.

Would buy again in the future, first time buying this type of tape but will definitely be a frequent user going forward

The Lockport Black Gaffers Tape is really solid for most applications. It’s strong, adheres well, and is great for everything from securing cables to temporary fixes. The 4-pack is convenient, and the size is perfect for handling various projects.However, I did find that it could be a bit more flexible; it’s not the easiest to tear by hand, and I had to use scissors a few times. Also, the adhesive could be a bit stronger for surfaces with a lot of wear.Overall, it’s a reliable tape that does the job well, but there’s room for a few improvements. Still, I’d definitely recommend it!
