Best Gaffer Tape of 2025

"I tend to favor the Amazon Basics brand as a cost-effective solution, and this tape meets my expectations. It’s stronger than masking tape and not as messy as duct tape; it tears off cleanly across its width and adheres well to a clean surface. I used it to wrap around the unsightly A/C refrigerant lines, and now it blends into the background."

"I've used this gaffers tape for three years and I genuinely love it. It adheres to almost any surface, including rough concrete, and leaves little to no residue. While it might leave a bit of residue on glass, it cleans up easily. I find it outperforms duct tape and remains unaffected by weather or water. When I run out, I’ll buy another roll immediately."

"I ordered five rolls and had no issues with the first three. However, when I tried to use the last two, they were difficult to pull off the roll and had sticky residue throughout. I ordered three new rolls, hoping for a better experience."

"I can't believe how wonderful this tape is! I used it to tape a sign on an outdoor brick wall, and despite being rained on and frozen, it has held strong. I've even used it on metal cabinet doors, and it keeps working like new after countless openings. I also taped boxes up and realized I forgot something; the tape came off easily and resealed perfectly. It even survived a 50 lb box being dropped upside down. This tape is also great for keeping the cold out of my windows. I wish I had known about this sooner!"

"I recently purchased the ProTapes Pro Gaff Premium Matte Cloth Gaffer's Tape in purple, and it's become an essential tool for my projects. The quality is unmatched—it's durable and versatile for everything from securing cables to fixing equipment. The rubber adhesive keeps it in place, and with 55 yards in a roll, I have plenty for multiple tasks. Plus, it tears easily by hand, making it incredibly convenient. This tape is worth every penny!"

"I bought this gaffer tape to mark the top of my stairs for safety, and it's been on the floor for over two weeks without peeling. I also used it to stick a notice on my church door, and it held up well even in the wind, leaving no residue when removed. I wrapped some around a shower door track to stop it from drifting open, and it worked perfectly. I’m already wondering how I managed without it!"

"I've used this gaffers tape religiously; it's easy to tear and functional with a great hold. It's become my best friend for securing cords both indoors and outdoors. Just a tip: be careful not to let it stick to itself, as it can be hard to separate!"

"Initially, I thought all gaffers tape was the same until I tried this brand. It was not durable at all compared to what I had used before. After a few days, the tape started to lift, leaving me frustrated and with more work to redo. Lesson learned: don't compromise on quality!"

"This tape is excellent! I used it to secure an extension cord to a cinder block wall, and it's still holding strong. The matte black color is nice, and it adheres well. I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"I find this tape to be near perfect. It dispenses well and tears easily, with minimal sticking to itself. I've used it on various surfaces and it's never left any marks or residue."

"In my experience, there's a huge difference between gaffer's tape and duct tape. Gaff tape is strong, easy to pull up, and doesn't leave glue residue. I use it in the theater for safety and labeling, and I find it indispensable."

"This gaff tape is a solid buy! It sticks as expected and holds everything reliably in place. If you're looking for durable and effective tape, I consider this a worthy investment."

"As a musician, I find gaffer tape essential for securing cables and other tasks. I’ve loved this brand; it sticks really well in my experience! The price is great too!"

"I initially gave this tape 2 stars because it let go of my laminate floor. However, the seller's customer service was fantastic, and I’m changing my review to 5 stars!"

"I ordered white gaffer tape, and it was exactly what I expected. It sticks well, tears easily, and is perfect for hiding black cables along my white baseboard. Five stars from me!"

"I appreciate the big size, but it's not as sticky as it should be. I tested it by taping a weight under the table, and it fell a few hours later. I've had tape that lasted for months before, but I can't find that anymore. This tape is okay, but I know there's better out there."

"For floor cords, I used to rely on duct tape, but I discovered that gaffer's tape works so much better. It's stickier, doesn't splinter, and it peels off without leaving residue. I love the rough texture because it offers traction. These rolls are wider, which means they cost more, but having one on hand is a must. The matt-black color is perfect for stage setups where I want to hide cables. It's like an invisibility cloak at night!"

"I've been using Gaffers Tape for years and recently bought the wider ~4" version. It works great for keeping extension cords safe at train shows. Even though it's pricier per linear foot, I end up using less tape overall. I highly recommend it in whatever width suits your needs!"

"I find it a bit sticky, making it difficult to pull apart, but I appreciate that it stays put. I rated it 5/5 for easy removal, as I can detach it without much hassle. Working with tape can be challenging, but this one is manageable."

"This tape is excellent for covering cords on my gym floor. I was surprised to find that it left no residue when I removed it. It's a great product for my needs!"

"Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with the adhesive. It just does not stick properly and everything I applied it to peeled off easily. I think I'll stick to using pro-gaff in the future."

"I bought this tape for my grandkids to play with, and they had a blast! It glows pretty well and is handy for marking light switches so they can be found in the dark, though it doesn't get super bright."

"I was impressed by the quality of this tape. It looked fantastic under UV light and glowed really bright! The thickness was just right, and it was easy to remove, but tearing wasn’t as simple."

"For our daddy-daughter neon dance, this tape was just perfect! We made rings on our fingers and stripes on our clothes, and we were so lit up! My daughter found it easy to tear and use, and we received many compliments on this fun touch."

“I used this tape on a train ride to keep the doors quiet at night. It was very sticky but didn't leave residue after use. I love the colors because they're easy to see. My only complaint is that I wish I had bought a larger size.”

“I needed some spike tape quickly, and this was perfect. Great colors and quality! If you know what spike tape is, then this is exactly what you need.”

“I was really happy with this tape as I use it for my hula hoops. It's a great grip tape that adds fun color. Strong yet easy to remove without much residue.”

"I sell custom leather work at gun and craft shows. I used to rely on duct tape for my lighting cords, but nothing is worse than the sticky residue left behind. This tape solves that problem. It holds down my cords without leaving any residue. I highly recommend it!"

"As someone who does sound work, I value keeping cables secure in high-traffic areas. We go through a lot of gaffer's tape, and while not all products are equal, this one acts like the real deal. It has a good amount of stickiness to surfaces and releases cleanly. It’s easy to tear, though I do wish it tore a bit cleaner sometimes. At 55 yards for about $20, it’s a great deal for what we need!"

"I used this tape for securing my air-conditioner vent in the window during summer. I was pleased to find that it caused no damage to my paint when I removed it. Overall, I’m very happy with this gaff tape as it effectively holds down my cables and cords on the floor."
