Ended up beating my expectations in test.
The media could not be loaded. Okay so I have some very interesting info about this tape. If you haven’t watched the video included with this review I did show it being installed and a pull test using a battery charger mounted to drywall. It is worth a look. I also showed it being pulled off drywall to test for damage during removal. Still I will try to summarize here. So first thing is the tape is very stretchy and compressible. It feels like a very soft vinyl. It says it is acrylic on the listing which I would be inclined to believe. First thing I wanted to make sure is that the length was right. And instead of either wasting a spool unraveling it to measure or manually measuring the sides inch by inch I used a little math trickery. So the tape is about 1.9mm thick or 0.075 inch in my measurements. The inside diameter of where the tape starts on the spool is at 83mm and the outside where it ends is 131mm. Using the formula L=pi∗(OD2/4−ID2/4)/t we get a length of 4246.10mm which is 4.246m which is 167.17in or 13.93ft on a spool (+/- a couple percent margin of error.) So 4.246m is what I got which is higher than the 4.07m they advertise. Or 13.93ft which is higher than the 13.33ft claimed. Which means based on my math you should be at least getting what you are promised. But likely a bit more which is awesome to see with products. So onto the tape itself. I honestly thought it wasn’t going to have much holding power based on my first impressions with my fingers. However I of course gave it a shot. First thing I tried this for was I have a wall area that I put all of my battery chargers on to keep down on clutter. Most chargers have mounting holes, however some do not. I have a lithium, NiMH and NiCd charger that needed to be mounted and didn’t have such holes. It also had about a 4.5mm gap between the back flat part of it and where the legs make contact with the surface. So I used 3 layers of this tape on top of itself to bridge that area as you can see in the pictures. And as soon as I pressed it onto my wall it stuck. Like really really stuck! The tape worked exactly as intended and I was surprised to find how well it held. I yanked on it a bit and wiggled to test and found there is basically no give. I am confident that the drywall will fail before the tape does. Which moves onto the second one which is also shown in the video. I have a Makita battery charger that too needed to be wall mounted. This one also had a big gap between the flat parts of it and the legs. So instead of building up many layers of tape like with the Small battery charger, I cut some wood that is just slightly lower than the legs are. I then sanded the plastic and used some glue gel to glue the wood to the bottom of the charger. (Before that I also painted a clear gloss over the side of the wood intended for the tape. To help it stick better.) I then added the tape and stuck it also onto my drywall which has an eggshell finish. Again it stuck great and with enough force that if I pull on the charger the entire area of the drywall is flexing. Alternatively if I try to apply shearing force (up and down) the charger plastic creaks and cracks still but the tape doesn’t fail. I put on 10x or more force on both charges than I ever expect them to undergo and they held great with just that little bit of tape so I can’t honestly complain at all. They worked perfectly as advertised. I also did a removal test on my painted drywall by putting on a strip of tape and leaving it overnight. What I found at least with my eggshell finish paint is the tape can POTENTIALLY be removed without damage by gently rolling it back on itself. However I found non surprisingly, that if you try and pull it straight off it will tear the drywall which is what the picture shows. A word of advice is that usually these tapes can be loosened first with some rubbing alcohol applied at their edges and allowed to sit. Then keep applying more as you peel. However that can also damage some paints and surfaces itself so it should be used with caution. Also make sure you don’t stretch the tape much as you put it on, it should be in a ‘Relaxed’ state because otherwise sticking it down pre-stretched traps internal stresses in the tape making it constantly want to peel off and roll up on itself. This tape is so sticky I am not sure it will be much of an issue, but it is good practice. Anyways I hope this review was helpful to you and good luck! Read more
