Duct tape is a very useful product that I keep always around the house. It is reliable and useful. It is dependable. I can use it outdoors on things such as my pool or to repair things my rake or shovel. I have even used it to repair the recycling bin. The variety of colors is nice but I bought the classic silver for basic needs around the house. I have had it used in my house on duct work from the clothes dryer. My husband and I keep it in the garage and in the kitchen and in the basement. I plan to buy it again.
I prefer Duck brand duct tape over almost any other brand. The staples store brand is a bit cheaper and works just as well as the name brand. it is worth the savings to go with the Staples brand. i don't find that it leaves gobs of glue on my fingers or on the edges of the tape roll as other store brands do. It also rips off without leaving sticky strings hanging around. It also peels back easily as one strip instead of tearing down the middle into thin ribbons. I would recommend this tape over the brand name varieties.
