Mini Gaffer Tape 4 Pack, Black, 1 Inch x 8 Yards, USA Made

I started using Gaffer tape as a musician to tamp down cables on stage so I wouldn't trip over them. It dispenses easy, tears even easier and does not leave any sticky residue like duct tape does. It comes up easily at the end of the night leaving my cables residue free and easy to pack up. These mini rolls work great for all manner of things at home. I use it for securing computer cables, removing glare from surfaces that interfere with my Nest cameras autofocus/shutter and just about anything I used to use general purpose tape to bind. I feel gaffer tape is simply superior to duct tape unless you are actually working with ducts (or ducks). It comes in man sizes and lengths depending on your need. In addition to larger rolls, I keep some of these mini rolls always on hand for, well, whatever.

Best tape ever!!! Will always buy this brand. Thank you!

These small rolls of gaffers tape is perfect for travel or for carrying around in a small kit. As a news editor in print publications, I mostly use gaffers tape to secure my monopod to a sturdy object, to MacGyver something damaged in my photography kit, or to create baffles or modifiers for my flash. On a construction site, I did use it to help a man with a bleeding arm before the safety supervisor could get to him with a first aid kit. In every case, the tape was sticky enough for its task, yet left no residue afterward. It was easy to tear and the rolls are small enough so that if I let someone borrow it and they don't return it, I don't bother hunting them down later like I would have to with a giant roll. Not cheap, but good gaffers tape never is.

i have nothing but good things to say about these tapes. i'm a professional videographer and use them frequently. i travel a lot so the size is great. they can be stored so easily in pockets/bags/cases. eventually you realize that you can do a lot with 1" wide rolls and don't need the bulky 2" wide rolls for most tasks. great when you're doing smaller jobs and don't need a lot of equipment. i use them around the house too. once you start using grip tape you don't go back. i use black, gray, and white. the white rolls are great for marking on too. i realized one of the best uses for these smaller rolls has been to give them as a gift to someone on set. if they've seen you use them and inquire about the 1" width tell them how convenient they are then hand them the roll. they'll remember that when you have to carry 15 sandbags.

Great sized roles of gaffers tape for my production backpack. So far this tape is great for what it does.

It's a great tape if you use it for its intended purpose. There are special situations where gaffer tape is the right tape. For example, using it for photography to tape down wires and tape the wires around lighting poles and background poles is absolutely awesome. Masking tape is too weak, duct tape leaves residue. Gaffer tape has the necessary adhesion and holding strength and come off clean. See second photo with zero residue after 24 hours. These rolls are small enough to carry around. They're about the size of electrical tape. Once I started using it for one purpose, I found myself finding other uses for it. I won't allow myself to run out.

For years, we have battled heat and humidity causing our VBS decorations to fall down each day. No matter what we tried, decorations would only stay up for about 24 hours before falling to the ground. The only solutions that seemed to work would also damage the walls and ceiling, so that was not an option. A couple of years ago, I learned about gaffer's tape. It. Is. AMAZING!!! It is so easy to use, adheres to anything I have put it on, and it does not leave a residue or cause damage. This year, I reordered to replenish my stash. I, ahem, thought that I had ordered the same name brand that I had used in the past...but as most VBS directors know, life tends to be chaotic during VBS time, and when my order confirmation came...I saw that I had ordered something different. Ooops. Turns out it was a great mistake on my part - this works just as well, and it actually is easier to use. It comes off the roll nicely and tears easily. I will definitely buy it again when we need more.

This is fantastic to have in your travel bag, camping or tool kit. It works well for so many things, wardrobe malfunctions, cord repair, cord bundling, CPAP hose repair, emergency bandage, etc. Really nice to have high quality tape on a small core, all the great things of gaffer tape without a huge roll.
