NEVER buy cheap tape!!
Tape is one of those items that can be incredibly frustrating when bought in low quality. It is simply not worth it to re-do anything because I wanted to save 1 penny per foot on tape and buy some cheap Chinese electrical tape that cracks, gets stiff, and comes apart in the cold, or melts and gets gooey and messy and slides off the work when it gets hot. This USA made 3M tape is excellent quality for general use but the thicker 3M 88 tape is best for ultra-heavy duty use. I use both and have NEVER regretted paying that extra penny per foot. I'm too cranky and lazy to re-do work because of cheap tape.
