Sorry to be blunt, but this tape sucks.
on January 24, 2026
Posted by: Bleck

I went to use this all weather duct tape and it didn’t even stick to dog hair. I would not recommend this to anyone. I feel bad saying, cause I respect 3m, but this tape sucked. It was like when you use those sticky rollers for dog hair after it was fully used if you know what I mean.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Impressed!

After getting hit by a tornado in March and over 6 inches of rain total since, I needed to try and protect the house from further water damage. It's been weeks of storms, wind, and sun, yet this tape holds strong. I'm impressed at how this has helped keep more problems to a minimum.

Glue Pulling off the tape on the Roll
on August 25, 2024
Posted by: JoshuaEli
Like other reviewers, I too am experiencing the issue of the glue pealing off the tape as I try to pull it off the roll. I tried to cut through the roll to get to the good tape but could not fix the issue. I am returning it to the store. By the way, I chose this 3M product for two reasons: (1) it advertised it was best for all weather; and (2) I generally like 3M products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worst tape ever
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: Foolishhabit
from Frankfort, Ky
The absolute worst duct tape I have ever bought. Would not pull off the roll, and then when it did, it left the adhesive on the layer below it. I would give it zero stars if possible, complete waste of money
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate and i absolutely love this Weather Duct tape. i used it during the ice storm in Houston around the house and it held pretty strong. No doubt it is a duct tape you can trust.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good All Weather Tape
on February 21, 2021
Posted by: Mike10
from Carlisle, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of this product from 3M to evaluate. I have used this tape to temporarily hang a tarp over a wooden shed door. Tarp is still hanging well after 3 weeks of mid winter, wet and snowy weather. Tape does not tear cleanly best to use scissors to cut. Overall I would recommend due to its strength and durability.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was actually quite excited to use this tape. Unfortunately it was a bit of a let down ( which honestly doesn't happen that often). It functions okay but definitely was not all weather. We used it with our Christmas decorations outside but it didn't hold as well as we hoped. Ended up using a different product. I would try it again but maybe not outside. I received this product free in exchange for my honest opinion.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for shovel repair
on February 4, 2021
Posted by: chirt143
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My shovel broke today in the middle of shoveling snow. This all weather duct tape was the perfect solution to getting me back to work. Held well and will withstand the Minnesota elements!
