Love the E-Z Start
The E-Z start is the key feature for me. I hated the day when I searched for the end of the tape, this has made packing and sealing much more tolerable. Very happy with this product.......

Crap Tape
WORST TAPE I HAVE EVER USED, THE CHEAPEST WORKS 100 PERCENT BETTER. When you get about half way thru roll, starts messing up and will not fix where you can pull one strand at a time

Not the greatest!
Your tape sucks! It is the thinnest HD tape I've ever used! EZStart my behind!..if it tears its almost impossible to start and it never starts in one piece. Lose quite a bit before it can be used. Geez! I bought a replacement roll that will be returned pronto. Something told me not to buy it. Should have listened!

Favorite tape gone wrong
We own two businesses and have to use packing tape. We'll our tape shreds apart when we try to use it. Itbis useless to us. Hopefully they can fix this problem. Used this tape for years but now it is pretty much junk.

Crap Tape
This ez crap tape is the worst I've ever used. The cheapest to buy is better than this crap. It constantly messes up and you have to throw half the roll away to get a decent piece off roll. I WLL NEVER BUY IT AGAIN

Worst purchase
The blade to cut tape is worthless!!! I have tried and tried to make it work no wonder it is less expensive you should supply a pair of scissors. Not a happy customer I was on my way to send out package after buying this and had to go home to cut the tape. Needless to say had to go back to UPS

Terrible tape
I thought Duck tape brand would be great. But it was not. Could not get it started and when we finally did the tape split. Terrible tape.

Duck "EZ Start" is almost impossible to start
Duck "EZ Start" packaging tape is terrible. It is almost impossible to start. I don't get. I would love to hear why the manufacturer named it "EZ Start". Have they never tried it themselves? They should have named it "Duck Impossible to Start Packaging Tape".

Not heavy duty at all!
This was the most frustrating tape! I had used other duck tapes and did not get the half ripped tearing these two rolls continues to cause! It was quieter, but that made it hard to tell when it had broken and was not even pulling tape!

Rips too easily
I bought a four pack of these and the tape rips very easily. I've had it in the past and it was fine. I wonder if they changed the formula.

Not a sticky situation.
The easy start feature works. But the adhesive doesn't. I taped up a package and set it aside. The tape peeled away from the contoured package shortly after. I tried to reapply, but it doesn't stick well to the packaging or the tape.

NOT "EZStart!"
When I try to push down and "twist" to cut the tape from the serrated blade, the tape keeps slipping off of the "guides" and then comes completely off of the white roller deal. When it slips off it then gets stuck back on the roll and I have to figure out WHERE it got stuck and attempt to peel it off and start all over. VERY ANNOYING!

Sucks!
This tape is the worst! Once you find the end then it won't undo all in one piece and you waste half the roll trying to get it back even!

I was trying to tape boxes for mailing and the tape would split and then I could not find the ends. Thank goodness I had access to other packing tape. Do not recommend this tape

Can't cut it with those teeth
The tape seems sturdy and sticks fine. But that serrated knife edge just can't cut. It is making me absolutely nuts.
