Wait until u take off the hf tape in a few years.

We use this to seal marine research equipment. It's amazing how well it sticks to itself but doesn't leave a residue after removal.

You can freeze it, heat it, it'll last for years. It's a rubber based compound that's made for splicing power and communications mains. It's commonly used for waterproofing lines, especially antennas and transmission lines (Coax Connectors) for radio. (Every Ham Radio Operator keeps a roll). The "cheap" stuff usually isn't waterproof, and comes undone (in a gooey mess) it about a year when exposed to sun. This stuff can be used and can be removed fairly cleanly for many years.

I don't believe you ever have to take off HF tape because it just removes itself (and leaves a gooey mess behind).

Edit: Lol, gooey autoswiped as fiery, which could have also fit

Can you expound on that? Like the guy a few replies up said, how is this worth the 7x difference? Genuinely curious, not trying to be a jerk about it.
I wondered the same thing a while back when this issue came up, so I bought some of this and the super 33 to compare to the $1.50 +- a roll tape. These tapes have better adhesion and stretch. In addition I think this explains why I had so many tape failures on some applications after time, especially automotive. I had been using the cheap tape. I now have both. The good stuff for real repairs and wiring that I want to last and the cheap stuff for just holding things like hose or rope in loops for short term storage.
Just my .02 worth

have been using random cheap no-name branded tape for house wiring repair for many years. After trying out legit stuff (Super 88 for example), I will never go back to the cheap stuff. It is significantly easier to work on with the legit stuff.

I think for automotive crimping in a tin coated copper connector and glue lined heat shrink on top would beat any tape but that's just me after wiring few boats and realizing how much difference it makes to fight any oxidation, I would also avoid copper coated aluminum wires that been trying to make its way due to lower cost but instead act like disposable wire.

$7 for one roll ... wtf ?
Why is it so much better ?
The Harbor freight $1 one are pretty good.
HF tape is god awful for anything other than throwaway use. The adhesive is weak and it is a horrible mess to clean as it falls off (which will happen pretty quickly even in ideal conditions).

I can tell you have never used it. It's incredibly better than cheap stuff. Try a roll, you'll never go back.

The 3-pack at Home Depot is $17 if I'm not mistaken?
