Tools and Hardware Reviews of Scotch Transparent Duct Tape, 2 Inches x 20 Yards, Clear (2120-A)
Customer Review: One of the best things ever, made better
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone knows how useful a roll of duct tape is. But did you ever think how much more useful it would be if it didn't look so lousy? (I wish I had! Doh!)
They've had different color duct tape for a while - the white was handy for a lot of things. But that doesn't quite do it, and they don't make every color, and I'm not going to buy every color!
But the clear tape is almost like having a roll of every color - since it (somewhat) blends into whatever you use it for. So go ahead and use it on your running shoes, your childrens' books (to repair the spine or stick down the popups again), and so many other new uses.
I can't vouch that it lasts as long outside as they claim it does (6x longer). And it is expensive - this is just 20 yards. So as mentioned, when you're taping up ducts in the basement, you're still probably going to want to use silver duct tape.
The Amazon description above is pretty accurate and useful, if you want more info. By the way, to find the end ... just run your fingernail around the roll, you can feel the end. The tape is thick enough that works well enough.
For a few bucks, everyone should have a roll of this at home, you'll find a hundred ways to use it. Maybe not on ducts. Or ducks. But you'll use it.
Customer Review: Only useful for light colored objects!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this duct tape on the premise that it's transparent and not very noticeable on things you put it on. All the reviews I read seemed to back this up. The tape has a diffuse transparent appearance, which would be fine, except for all the white filament running through it. Basically if you put this on something light colored it works well. It's still noticeable because it reflects light different than most objects, but that's to be expected from any kind of tape. However, as soon as you put it on anything dark colored it's very noticeable and ugly. I'm going to add some product photos to illustrate how it looks on different surfaces.Customer Review: Switch to this and never go back!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is incredible stuff.
It has so much going for it:
1. It is duct tape. you all know what that means it can do.
2. Good quality adhesive. Some tapes have cheap, lousy adhesive, or stuff that will never come off (gooey). This is very strong, but comes off clean.
3. Clear! Can be used on the outside of things, so instead of using rolls to do surface to surface tapes, you can just run along the edge. Also helps if used as wart remover.
4. Long lasting outside, due to new formula.
5. tears well. Some cheaper stuff can't be torn easily, this is very nice.
6. Self sticking has been reduced; can acutally be salvaged from a self curl now.
Cons:
1. Quite expensive. I use two rolls, one this and one gray, then trade them off when clear is needed or not.
Customer Review: Too Expensive.
Summary: 3 Stars
It works almost as well as regular Duck Tape but cost twice as much. Unless you need clear tape stick with the grey.Customer Review: Very tough and tranparent and is good for my purpose
Summary: 5 Stars
Love it and bought for it's toughness and colour (transparent). I have managed to secure my 6+ standing fans as they are cracked in one way or the other and I saved a lot as I do not need to replace them.
