Far better than duct tape

This tape is simply in a class by itself. The stuff is incredibly durable and noticeably thicker than regular duct tape. I bought several rolls locally to take on a BSA canoe trip down the Colorado River. Some of the canoes had minor leaks and we used Gorilla tape to seal them up. The tape held all week while underwater - very impressed. Some of the boys also used this tape to "lash" the canoes together with branches. The tape was stronger than the branches. In slightly rough water, the branch would crack but the tape never let go. Overall, the best duct tape money can buy and worth the extra cost.

Fixed my beach tent

I tried to use a regular duct tape and a carpet tape to fix a torn beach tent. The tear is vertical. The material of the tent is plastic so it's hard for the tapes to stick. The duct tape and carpet tape only worked for a few hours. I ordered the Gorilla tape as a last resort before tossing out the beach tent. Very pleased to report that Gorilla tape is super sticky and works wonders. It has been almost a week and the Gorilla tape shows no sign of peeling like other tapes.

Strong fabric and adhesive but not for high heat uses.

This is not your cheap duct tape. The Gorilla tape is a quality strong tape with a good tack and strong adhesive. However, Its not good for high temp applications. I have used it to tape windows seams on the outside of my jeep to knock down wind noise. On a hot day with the sun beating down on the tape, the adhesive will actually boil and bubble out from under the tape allowing the tape to release.

What does the apocalypse and a $9 Amazon gift card have in common?

Gorilla tape. Cannibal test, mutant approved. What's in the picture? Gorilla tape, holding the completely broken passenger-side mirror of my Kia Optima firmly in place after my ex-wife introduced it to the wall of our apartment garage... So what's the big deal? Well, the mirror weighs about 3-4 lbs and would otherwise hang freely from it's wiring. The Gorilla tape in the photo has held that mirror firmly in place for three years. That's three years in Dallas, Texas: Brutally hot humid summers, drowning in sunlight. Traveling thousands of miles at tollway speeds against 65-75 mph headwinds. And yet, the tape still holds. So well, in fact, that that I can still use the electric motor to position the mirror. The mirror has even gone three state safety inspections without comment.

Yep Gorilla tape means there is no monkeying around!

Hands down the best duct tape I've ever used. Thick adhesive and tough tape. If you want to secure something with duct tape this is the stuff to use. If you don't want it to tape it twice then use this awesome tape. If you don't want to get it stuck then don't use this tape! when using don't let it stick to itself. Otherwise its easiest to just rip another piece then get this undone from itself. I used this to tape to tape a piece of ice guard to the front of a hydraulic control box since the metal cover broke off. The metal was dry when applied. That was several months ago, and the ice guard has started to crack, but the tape is still holding strong even though it has been soaked many times. Just really good tape. Tears fairly easy as well. Oh, if its been on a while it may remove the paint, so be careful of what you apply to. Thanks Amazon and Gorilla!

Best tape on the market. Love it. It's a household necessity.

My car bumper is currently taped onto my car with this stuff. It really works well, even under very hard conditions (Snow/Salt/rain/dirt/debris). I usually have to redo the tape about once a year. That means this stuff lasts a harsh winter UNDER a car, in the wheel well, etc for a YEAR. I had some work boots that were wearing through the leather all the way to the steel toe, after a season of roofing. What did I do....slap some of this on my boots and I still have them. I still use them to do yard work, mechanic work, any kind of dirty job, and the tape is still holding up...It's been four years. Not much else to say. It's thick, yet easy to tear. Durable as all get out. Resists water extremely well. Last a long,long time. What more do you want?! Make sure to clean the surface of what you're applying this to with some rubbing alcohol and it'll stick forever. 5/5 stars. Buy it, you'll wonder why you ever used any other tape.

RIPS HAIR OFF!!

HonestReview- this tape is strong like a Gorilla's grip.......perhaps its called Gorilla tape for that reason ORRRR this is the tape that Gorilla's use to fix their Gorilla houses? Either way I tested it on my arm......... for you know, testing purposes, and ladies forget waxing, just use this tape and it will rip your hair's clean off! I use this tape for my gigs to hide wires so people don't trip over the wires. I also used the white Gorilla tape to fix a rip on my front bumper of my truck. Yes a rip not a crack, it was ripped about 5" long or so. Please see picture. Don't mind the Zombie decal....I put it over the tape so people don't notice the tape as much. I've had the Gorilla tape on there for over a year now, and it's still going strong. I don't normally give products 5 stars, but this one exceeds my expectations. It's freakin strong like a Gorilla!

Tenacious and Convenient

Most adhesives do not seem to want to adhere to the plastic bottoms of dashboards. In the past, I have used an assortment of tapes (even 3M), clips and glues (silicone, epoxy, crazy) to secure wires under the dash. If they don't fail to adhere from the start, it is only a brief matter of time before the changing temperatures and humidity a car interior is exposed to, before they fail. I have found tape to be both the easiest and least effective item to use. However, I decided to give this Gorilla Tape a shot. After all, there are a lot of other potential uses for it. Well, this stuff works. It's easy to apply, holds strongly and can be removed quickly and without damage to anything. This isn't the first time I have used it. An earlier version of this was used to hold wires for 5 years under the dash in my Mini Cooper. During that time, the car experienced prolong stays in the Wyoming winter (25 below), the Arizona summer (115 above), and the Mississippi humidity (200% - okay, an overstatement), The tape never failed. I expect this updated version will at least match that.

Always Trusty and Useful for everything!

There are many similar Strong Tapes, but it's been proven time and time again. The Gorilla Tape delivers on all levels. Easy to use, cut, and apply. I bring this piece of value with me on my Off Road and Mountain Trail Runs when I go 4 Wheeling in Heavy Duty Black Diamond Trails. Sometimes the bad comes with broken parts, or pieces and in my case a broken Air Intake Elbow on my 1995 Toyota 4Runner which wouldn't allow me to drive or do anything without proper pressure held. So we Gorilla Taped it and it's been taped up for 3 months!

WHERE DOES AN 800-POUND GORILLA SIT?

For fear of being placed on some kind of secret government watch list as a DUCT TAPE hoarder, I won’t admit how much Duct Tape I’ve purchased over the past few years. I will say that I use DUCT TAPE more times a day than I eat. I am constantly using duct tape as extra hands to temporarily hold my project pieces in place for the initial gluing, nailing, stapling, screwing ... or more duct taping. The easy-to-tear and cheaper 5-mil tape is a blessing for this purpose. Reviews on duct tape are all over the place. So is duct tape. I was specifically interested in the adhesiveness and tensile strength of the 3 leading brands of black duct tape. I needed hard evidence, something tangible I could STICK with. The first thing I did was look at the thickness and cost based on prices effective 3/3/15. Scotch TOUGH Heavy Duty All Weather. 26.31 cents per yard and the mil thickness is not listed and might be explained later in my review. Intertape Polymer Group IG2PK-A Grip Black Heavy Duty. 25.36 cents per yard and 17-mil thick. Gorilla Tape. 25.66 cents per yard and 17-mil thick. The rubber adhesiveness when tested on a variety of surfaces did not reveal a discernible difference between the 3 brands. It grabs and sticks. As one comment said, “It’s ALIVE!” The Scotch tape is crinkled or wavy on the roll and if cut cleanly, the edge is hard to locate. I had to use a shop magnifying light. For years, at the end of the fireplace season, I have placed a heavy tarp over the top of a brick chimney and secured it with black duct tape. Every brand I’ve tried except Gorilla Tape has shredded and loosened before the following season. I’ve had Gorilla Tape holding a heavy tarp on a brick chimney for 2 years and it is still holding firm and not raveling. The tensile strength test really surprised me. I took several samples of each brand and folded the tape, adhesive side in, creating double-thickness strips 1/2-inch wide. I placed one end in a bench vice with padded jaws so the metal would not break the tape. I placed the other end in the cushioned jaws of a Vice-Grip. (A piece of bicycle inner tube works great for this purpose.) A new Rapala digital fishing scale hooked to the Vice-Grip would reveal at what weight the strip of tape would break. I ran 5 tests on each brand of tape and the results were consistent and conclusive. The Scotch TOUGH Heavy Duty Tape broke at a mere 5 pounds. I thought I was doing something wrong. It is WEAK tape. The Intertape Polymer Tape broke at 14 pounds. Not bad. I can live with that. The Gorilla Tape broke at a whopping 28 pounds. WHOA! Try this test yourself if you have any doubts. If you don’t have a fishing scale, you can tie a bucket (known weight) to a rail with a strand of black duct tape and place items of known weight into the bucket until the tape breaks. An 800-pound Gorilla can sit anywhere he wants to in my house.
