Do not buy, the tape stuck to it self
I brought this tape and didn't use it for nearly a year when I tried to use it now , it can't stick to anything. Looks like the tape stuck to itself. Waste of money . It's now like a reel of toilet paper. I see similar reviews below on this product

Don't use or store above room temp, take separates
Thick and strong, but absolutely worthless when it's not room temp. I had to go into my attic to tape a hole in the flexible ductwork for a bathroom fan, so I took my brand new roll of T-Rex tape. I had to move around the blown in insulation and find the hole, once I did (10 minutes or so) I tried to peel off strips of tape. My attic was very hot (95 degrees outside, so...

Useless
I bought the extreme mounting tape, completely useless, I think it would’ve stuck better if I would’ve put scotch tape across it! Do not buy!

Holy holding power!!!!
I have been a loyal Gorilla Tape user for as long as I can remember, and I used
A LOT of it!!! I use tape for everything, from repairing cracked register vents, to holding toys in place for my special needs 7 year old son. Unfortunately, "G" tape was no longer strong enough, He would pull the toy off his mat, or even just take off the tape like it was nothing, I though...

On Time and properly packed
I received the boxes on time and sufficiently packed (undamaged). It beats buying it in person especially if you don’t have a car in the city. Thank you.

It’s a Stick-up
We use T-Rex tape to seal large boxes to ship by ship to Africa. This is the ONLY tape that holds up securing our boxes so that they arrive intact and unopened. We definitely recommend T-Rex Tape
