Dependable Tape for Many Jobs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this tape for several projects where I’d normally use duct tape, and it’s performed great every time. The example in the photo shows it being used to tape seams for my laminate flooring underlayment. It adhered well to the material and didn’t over-stick to itself like some other brands tend to do.
If I had one small critique — which is also kind of a compliment — it’s that the tape tears very easily. On one hand, that’s a plus because it makes it simple to rip off a piece without struggling. On the other hand, the last quarter inch sometimes tears lengthwise instead of straight across, so I just have to be a bit more careful.
Overall, that’s a minor issue and definitely not a dealbreaker. I’d still buy this tape again without hesitation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M no doubt has the formula for duct tape down to a science....obviously. In fact, I didn’t think it was possible to make it any more impressive than it already is. I stand corrected. 3M has done it again with their new Heavy Duty Black Duct Tape! First and foremost, the strength & durability has been enhanced while still allowing you to tear with your hands for quick usage. In addition, the adhesive has been strengthened to stick quick and stay put where you place it. Thanks to this new & enhanced formula, this tape allows you to use it on numerous services for excellent results. Also, 3M formulated this duct tape to remain resistant to water on the backside to provide even more longevity! I also think it's important to note the black coloring of this new product. It allows for more options depending on what you're using it for. Regardless, the bottom line is that you have another option besides the standard gray duct tape. With all that being said, you've got a more effective, more durable duct tape that provides multipurpose performance with optimal quality & durability, all with a new look!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample roll of the 3M Heavy Duty Colored Duct Tape - red - from 3M to try. The tape is a little hard to start to peel off the roll. It also seems a little thinner than regular duct tape. I would think that heavy duty would look and feel a little sturdier. I did a test piece to see how easily it can be removed. It comes off very easy and didn't leave any residue after a couple of days. I then used it to tape up a tear in our outdoor glider canvas cover. It seems to be holding up, but it will need more time in the elements to see the heavy duty tape holds strong. It seems to be holding up after a couple of weeks. The tape does tear easily, so scissors aren't needed if you don't have any. Seems to be a durable tape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent duct tape. Very heavy duty and strong. I love the color red as well as it makes it stand out more. I hightly recommend this product as it is strong, lasts long time, and looks great anywhere!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having received the 3M™ Heavy Duty Red Duct Tape 2145-RD as a sample, I can attest to its exceptional durability. Despite the chilly weather in the northeast, it has held up remarkably well outdoors. The vibrant red color is a bonus. I am planning to purchase it in the future

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This super strong duct tape is like a magnet for anything you put it on, whether it’s inside or out! Plus, whatever you attach it to becomes super noticeable. It’s super easy to use, super visible, and made by 3M, which is top-notch! Seriously, what more could you want? An amazing product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to be a monopoly game board space for a trick or treat trunk this year and I used the heavy duty white duct tape to secure the lights and battery pack to my board. I had no worries of the lights or battery pack fallen off. The tape did its job!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this comes in colors other than blue. I personally really like the white for my projects where I need duct tape. It looks clean and is more visible if I need to write something on the tape. Plus, it sticks like I need it to!
