Duck Brand 1.88 in x 55 yd Silver Utility Duct Tape

I always buy DUCK TAPE brand as I consider it the best holding for my purposes. I usually get the 60 yd. length DUCK TAPE that I think is ALL PURPOSE type? I thought Utility Grade sounded just as good and affordable (as I buy several rolls at a time). I don't use for normal household use. Besides the usual packaging applications, I buy as 'medical supplies' to strap around bandages/pads (tip: Super Maxipads make excellent bandages - a LOT MORE absorbent and MUCH cheaper - about 48 or more - than those flimsy thin medical pads/squares - 9 to 12? - that soak through in an hour). Wrap around lymphedema (fluid leaking) leg. Use up the other type quickly as it is, but this DOES NOT ADHERE as well so must use more (less 'sticky'). This version of the tape just not very strong hold as the usual I get. Will not buy this type again.

This produce tears in the wrong direction and leaves threads everywhere. It is impossible to work with. I threw mine away. There are better products on the market. Don't waste your money.

The Duck Tape I purchased is Super thin and dont stay stuck to boxes. I'm Very disappointed in this product. I'm returning it back to the store. Ive sworn by Duck Tape for years. But not anymore.

The pics are just a small sample of what happened through using the complete roll of tape. I am 63 years old. I know how to ease the tape off when it starts doing this. I couldn't get more than about 12" off at a time before it ripped. I keep my tape - all of it - out of the sun, away from excessive heat, etc. This was the most frustrating project I have ever used duct tape on. This junk is extremely thin, not very sticky (except to itself) - I would like to give it '0' stars. I have an old roll of 3M that has been thrown around my tool boxes, vehicles, shop, etc - for over 12 years. It's been crushed, wrinkled, and so forth. It's WAY better than this Duck Tape.

I am a long-time homeowner and avid DIY person; this is the first review of a product that I have ever written. Why? Because, I wanted to spare others the frustration they will almost certainly encounter if they purchase this product. This is the lowest quality / performing "tape" that I have ever purchased. As several previous reviewers noted, it will not even stick to itself! (think waterproof post-it notes) I cannot think of a single application for which this product is suited. I do not think that you could even use this to make a craft wallet! If you are looking for DUCT tape, this is certainly not suitable. Spend a few extra dollars and purchase a quality product. (Unfortunately, I removed/replaced all of this "tape" before I took any pictures, but there was little to take pictures of, as most of it was literally on the floor below where it had been placed just days before!) Frankly, I am disappointed that Wal-Mart caries this particular product. I realize that they want to carry several grades of products at different price points. That is a reasonable approach. However, even the lowest cost product should have some utility or value. This product has absolutely no value IMO. I would return the remaining 3/4 of a roll that I have, but it is simply not worth my time for the few dollars I would get back. I do hope that company people read these reviews and challenge their suppliers to provide quality products, even at low price-points. Until there is a change with "Duck Tape Basic", I would strongly recommend any potential purchaser to STAY AWAY from this product!

USE IT ON SO MUCH ,THAT IS WHY HAVE TO KEEP MORE THAN ONE ROLL ON HAND.

I have used duct tape for a couple of decades. I have come to depend on it enough that I keep a roll in the garage, one in my truck tool box and one in my RV tool box for emergency repairs. I tried a temp repair of a RV window while waiting on replacement window and couldn't get either of 2 different rolls of the Duct Brand duct tape to stick to cardboard, plastic or the metal window/door frame.

The two rolls of Duck Brand silver Duct Tape came with the purchase of a multi-position hand cart. What can you say ... you can never have enough duct tape on hand!

This tape is so thin and does not even stick to cardboard boxes!!! It also does not peel off roll right. It always leaves little sticky strings that get stuck to your hands. Do not buy this product.

this tape does not last long on most surface. it was good only to use to tape a box. I used on a few surfaces plastic, aluminum, cardboard and more and within a day it was separating from the surface. I made sure I cleaned areas I tried to use it for. I thought it maybe a old roll of tape but it wasn't. just doesn't stick for long.
