EASY TO USE (5 star review)
This is good tape....would try to find something alittle stronger for packing boxes...but otherwise good, and it is easy to use.
Worst customer review
Convenient, but doesn't stick well... (1 star review)
Last November, I needed to move quickly -- in just over a week, and I had to keep working. My apartment was furnished, so this meant getting personal belongings packed, for the most part. I packed my things into two suitcases and a few boxes. I flew to my new destination with the suitcases and the boxes were shipped via USPS Priority. The boxes (all fairly solid, with the exception of one) had been taped together with this stuff -- I had bought a roll, ironically, for an earlier Amazon return.
The boxes were all taped with two or three layers of tape, because I was already observing the tape to be weak. I had to take the tape with me to the post office, because it was already separating from the boxes as I was moving them.
When I opened the door to them at my new location, one of the boxes had almost come open in the wind(!) and they all had obviously been re-taped a time or two -- the adhesion was even weaker than I remember. It's probably only because of some careful postal courier that all of my things actually got to me after my move.
Don't pack boxes with this stuff unless your shippers are equally careful.
