2pk Wiring Loom Tape for Car

Although I have been involved in wiring and electronics for well over half a century, somehow this excellent looming tape slipped past me! I actually bought this tape to repair a folding cardboard chairside storage box with magnetic closures, that started life as a christmas hamper - and I was able to reinforce the folding seams very neatly with it. This tape may seem similar in application to the usual PVC insulating tapes but is actually very different. It is cloth based (seems to be a tough cotton-like fabric with a medium weave - similar to gaffer, but a more natural fabric). It is softer than gaffer and very flexible, it feels to me more like the old-school ‘camera tape’ though it has a more ‘open’ weave but has a similar matt finish. It is intended for use on wiring harnesses (automotive, wiring trays, point to point looms in chassis etc.) as an alternative to cable ties, wrap, or looming cord. It is decently but not super sticky although, as you would expect from its intended applications, it does adhere to itself very well indeed. Whilst I have not yet had it long enough for a proper test, it does seem that this tape does not leave unpleasant sticky residue when removed (unlike most adhesive tapes and in particular PVC insulating tape!) which makes it a possible choice for securing cable coils - something for which I would normally never use tape! I will probably continue to use velcro ties for this job (already have them everywhere) but will certainly do some tests to see. It’s early days for me with this product, but it it is a good quality tape with good, residue-free adhesion that is very pleasant to use (a surprisingly important attribute in any tool or material). It is tearable but I prefer to use a blade or scissor. I am looking forward to testing it out in its intended role in making up wiring harnesses when I start the re-cabling of my studio racks. Overall this is a very interesting, good quality product with a wide range of potential applications that I wish I had ‘discovered’ much earlier. Every work bench & toolbox should have a roll!

Nice, good quality and very sticky, hard to undo if needed. Recommend for any wiring....

Tape cables for vehicles etc to the original loom standard. I've been looking for a cable loom tape like this for ages, it is strong with tack adhesive which keeps it in place. Easy to use, giving protection to wires, keeping them bunched for additional strength, like original installations. Used to tame the wiring for an aftermarket car head unit.

Good tape and works well

Really good High Temp Tape and Value for money

Good quality definitely be buying more

Easy to use

item received the same day as ordered - OK I paid a premium because I didn't want to wait. I wanted heat proof tape to protect some wires I have put on my motorcycle where it gets quite hot. Must admit it was an afterthought when I realised how hot it gets. Put the tape on in strips and so far every thing is good

La descrizione e le foto dell'articolo sono ingnnevoli, non è tessuto (fabric) come scrivono, ma TNT, cioè tessuto-non-tessuto, che fa molta differenza con vero tessuto di cotone. Comunque lo userò perchè mi scoccia fare il reso, ne ho bisogno subito. Non lo ricomprerò
