Review of Scotch 3M Duct Tape
First of all, my Scotch 3M duct tape has no fancy features. It is heavy duty and strong enough to handle quite a lot of situations. It is very versatile. It is made for both indoor and outdoor usage. It is advertised as being for use in either home or office.
My Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape comes in one color, gray. I like this color since it is nondescript. It is plain and simple.

I have used it as a temporary luggage clasp.
Anywhere I can use scotch tape, I can use my Scotch 3M Heavy Duty duct tape. It just is not as pretty. Plus, it is not transparent. I understand that one can buy a transparent variety, though.
