Having electrical tape in bulk is helpful, especially if you are working on a large project like installing a well pump where being waterproof is a requirement. Some of the reviews claimed that this tape had a strong smell but that was not the case here. The plastic bag that mine came in was not sealed, it was taped closed which may have prevent that issue. The adhesive is strong and actually made it difficult for me to start unrolling the tape but that is not a deal killer.

This is great tape and a great value with good adhesion, although it is a little hard to unroll, which can be a little frustrating. It feels a little thicker and less flexible than other electrical tape I have used.

Effective Electrical tape Incant find anything wrong with it while covering Wires to better separate them.

ZERO STARS!!!!I ORDERED THIS BECAUSE MY CRAFTY SERVICE DOG HAS A HANKERING FOR MY TAPES. SHE'S ALREADY EATEN/MAULED TO BITS SEVERAL ROLLS OF SCOTCH TAPE & SPORTS MEDICINE TAPE. 1 ROLL OF DUCT TAPE AND 3 ROLLS OF ELECTRICAL TAPE. I REALLY NEEDED ELECTRICAL TAPE SO WHEN THIS POPPED INTO MY VINE ACCOUNT, I SNAPPED IT UP. I'M HOPING THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THE SIX ROLLS WILL SURVIVE.I AM REALLY TORN ABOUT THIS ITEM. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, IT IS THE STICKIEST ELECTRICAL TAPE I'VE EVERY LAID MY HANDS ON! IT'S LIKE "100 MPH" TAPE, THE STICKNESS IS THAT STRONG!!!I STUCK ONE END ON MY FINGER WHILE STRETCHING AND PULLING THE PIECE AROUND MY FINGER, LIKE YOU WOULD TAPING A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL WIRE, TO SEE IF IT BEHAVED LIKE THE ELECTRICAL TAPE I'VE USED. IT IS VERY FLEXABLE & STRETCHY. THAT 1 & 1/2 INCHES STRETCHED ALMOST A FULL THREE INCHES & WENT THREE FULL ROUNDS AROUND MY FINGER & NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SIGN THAT THE TAIL WAS GOING TO PULL OFF OF MY FINGER WHILE I WAS STRETCHING THE TAPE. I ALMOST HAD TO GET MY TRAUMA SHEERS OUT TO CUT IT OFF MY FINGER. THE STICKY AND STRETCHABILTY IS VERY SUPERIOR TO THE ELECTRICAL TAPE YOU WOULD BUY AT AN AUTO PARTS OR HARDWARE STORE.THE PRICE PER ROLL IS $1.59. AND YOU GET SIX 11 FT. PER ROLL. A GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY EXCEPT FOR THE NEGATIVE ISSUES WITH THE TAPE. A POSITIVE & NEGATIVE IS THE PRODUCT INFORMATION SAYS IT IS, "FLAME RETARDANT." HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS CLAIM, BECAUSE OF THE SMELL. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MUCH STRONGER IT WOULD BE WHEN EXPOSED TO OPEN FLAME! THERE IS NO ENDORSEMENT FROM THE U.S. UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES (UL.) THAT BACKS UP THIS CLAIM.ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE, IT STINKS TO HIGH H. . .L!!!!! WHEN I OPENED THE AMAZON BUBBLE SHIPPING ENVELOPE I DARN NEAR HIT THE FLOOR THE SMELL WAS STRONG! TO GIVE AN ACCURATE REVIEW, I TOOK ONE OF ROLLS OUT OF ITS PLASTIC. IT WAS QUITE A CHORE TRYING TO GET THE TAIL TO PEAL AWAY FROM THE ROLL, EVEN WITH MY SHARP FINGERNAILS. I TRIED TO TEAR THE TAPE, IT DIDN'T TEAR VERY EASILY. I HAD TO GET A PAIR OF SCISSORS TO CUT A 1 & 1/2 INCH PIECE OFF TO TEST ITS PROPERTIES. DURING THIS TIME,1-2 MINUTES THE SMELL WAS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!! IT IS A MUCH STRONGER SMELL THAN IF YOU STUCK YOUR HEAD OVER A BUCKET OF GASOLINE!!! IT WAS A VERY POWERFUL VOLITILE SMELL & I WAS GETTING A BIT WOOZY.DURING THIS PROCESS OF TRYING 1ST TO TEAR THE TAPE, THEN CUTTING IT AND STRETCHING IT AROUND MY FINGER THE SMELL GOT EVEN WORSE!!! I QUICKLY GOT IT OFF MY FINGER AND SHOVED THE ROLL BACK IN THE PACKAGING. IT IS NOW OVER THREE HOURS SINCE I STOPPED WORKING WITH THIS RANK STUFF AND I HAVE A WHOPPING HEADACHE & FEELING SICK TO MY STOMACH. I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY WISE TO WEAR A RESPRIATOR WHEN WORKING WITH THIS STUFF.I READ ANOTHER REVIEW THAT SAID THEY "HOPE THE SMELL FADES IN THE OPEN." GOOD GRIEF I DO NOT THINK THE SMELL WILL FADE FOR MANY YEARS! THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE LEVEL OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCs) DURING THE OFF-GASSING PROCESS. SINCE THERE IS NO PLACE OF MANUFACTUR IN THE PRODUCT INFORMATION, I'M GOING TO TAKE A WILD SWING AND SAY THIS WAS MADE IN CHINA BECAUSE IT LACKS THE UL CERTIFICATION ON FIRE RETARDANT STANDARDS.FOR ITS ADHESIVE PROPERTIES I'D GIVE IT 10 STARS. BECAUSE OF THE VOLITILE CHEMICAL SMELL I WOULD GIVE IT ZERO STARS! I GUESS YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO DECIDE IF IT'S WORTH IT TO YOU. AS FOR ME, IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!IMHO, THIS TAPE NEEDS TO BE PULLED FROM THE MARKET IMMEDIATELY!!!!I VERY STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!

This electrical tape from SWRT works well enough, but I find it difficult to start unpeeling, and sometimes it stretches a bunch when trying to rip off a piece. Perhaps better to cut off the needed length instead of pulling. Possibly a little thin, but the tape works as described.

It was a little thicker than your typical vinyl electrical tape, which made a little bit more difficult to work with when wrapping a loom of wires. The extra thickness will be good protection though, so I guess it's worth it.

After using this electrical tape I can tell it has a durable feeling and a flexible quality I’ve come to look for in electrical tape. Like other brands, it does firm up in the cold, so you’ll need to keep it close to you if taping off Christmas lights or other outdoor items. The only down side I’ve noticed is the smell. It had a very strong chemical smell right out of the packaging. I’m hoping that fades with time, but that isn’t much of a concern for us since I’m mainly using it for outside applications in my shop.

I was surprised how good the quality was. It is very sticky and has good stretch before breaking. Stays wrapped and is decent thickness. Good bargain for this many rolls. I really suggest you open the plastic that holds the rolls outside. It has that nasty plastic smell from being enclosed....typical gas off smell from plastics.
