This has to be the best duct tape I've ever tried. The cloth tape is strong and flexible, and doesn't easily tear accidentally. The adhesive is strong and doesn't leave a residue even after the tape has been exposed to the sun and weather for over a year. It holds well even when repeatedly dunked in seawater. The only negative is that it can be difficult to find and it is usually more expensive than other cloth tape (except Gaffer's tape).Edit (11/26/2017): I have been using this duct tape over 12 years now. It still performs well with regards to adhesive strength and durability. I use it it many non-sailing applications. I've had duct tape on items over 7 years, and it still removes easily without residue. And the tape does not seem to age much. The negative is still the same as my 2008 review above: it is more expensive than other tapes, but worth it if you need it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is some SERIOUS tape *by 7***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2018* I use this at work on my CNC machine. A 4' x 8' MDF board is held to the machine table with vacuum. This is how the parts are held on the machine. Without this tape, everything would be moving all over the place. It withstands just about everything and keeps the board tightly in place.This is a great product. That's why I keep coming back for more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST. TAPE. EVER! *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019* This is professional grade tape - you cannot buy this at the hardware store. I had some foam insulation sheets in the greenhouse that hardware store 3m brand tape wouldn't hold. I had an old roll of this and it worked great. I used it up and bought more - I'll never buy any other duct tape ever again! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/73509009-3m-8979-performance-plus-duct-tape-slate-blue-48-mm](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/73509009-3m-8979-performance-plus-duct-tape-slate-blue-48-mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-27*
