Is thinner than scotch brand and occasionally splits down middle of the length depending how it's pulled for use. If not noticed right away you end up going backwards on tape to remove and discard the narrowed split part so you can start your tape for proper use again.
i would prefer the brand name tape as it is so difficult to start the roll of the staples brand tape. also it splits and it takes me 10-12 inches to get the split repaired so that i can use the roll.
