Horrible.
This is the worst masking tape I've ever bought. Why would you ever make the glue stronger than the tape? It rips 100% of the time that I use it. It takes a long time to pull up the end and use it again. If I didn't already know of the Scotch brand, I'd think they just didn't know how to make tape. I'd say buy 3M but they own Scotch so I question their quality now t...

TOTAL GARBAGE
Went through 10 rolls and every single one was complete crap. They all would split and tear. Thanks to 3M's bs I ended up losing over 4 hours of production.

Disappointing!
What has happened to your masking tape? I have been using this masking tape all my life. My uncle even worked for 3M years ago. I’m not buying another roll. The last few I have struggled with to have the tape come off the roll without splitting into thin strips that went nowhere. At first I assumed I had gotten a “fluke,” but now I see that is the way your tape is....

Useless as tape. Useful as a paperweight
I bought this a month ago and I'm totally disappointed. It will not unroll without breaking off. It sticks to itself so hard it's almost impossible to unroll.
I tossed all 6 rolls in the trash it was so bad.
Not only would I not recommend this product to a friend, I would not recommend it to someone I dislike.

Not what it used to be, hard to use now
So many reviews saying the same thing. It's hard to get the tape off the roll. Why doesn't Scotch respond with replies of any substance? Just the copy and paste, "thank you, we're sorry, please call us..." Maybe it's time to start taking care of your customers, before they're gone.

This masking tape is very thin and cheap. It rips too easily. I do not recommend it.

I have just bought and used the tape very little. I bought the combo because 3M has a good reputation. I have used one role and can attest that it has great stickiness and strength. I will use it in my workshop and in my tracing of cephalometric radiographs. . 4 stars

Product Labelling
I had for several years been using Scotch brand Blue tape for a specific project. I recognize the desired tape by yellow icons printed on blue: EdgeLock, 2093EL, and ScotchBlue. However, my most recent purchase had plastic covering over the surface of the tape that prevented me from discerning the desired product from labelled as "original." I mistakenly purchased t...

These were much more expensive than the staples brand and the store did not carry enough of either brand to satisfy my needs.

bought for work. Use 100-300 times per day
not sure if it was the batch I got or this is a generalization about scotch masking tape but the roll is rolled so tight that the tape is hard to pull off. I wasted quite a bit of the first one that I attempted to unroll as it was wound so tight that it was ripping itself over and over again. With the amount that I lost I could have processed a ton of orders and this ha...

Hard to work with
This masking tape is just ok. It’s very hard to work with. It dries out and curls while using.

I expected so much more quality from SCOTCH. Bad.
I might understand the poor quality if made in a third world country...well I guess it is. I trashed the roll after the 15 th tear. No more SCOTCH tape for me.
