ToolSkool Reviews

By: Beth Knott

I can’t remember exactly when Gorilla Tape first came out, but we’ve been using it since.  It’s tough, durable, and is more of an “all-around-use” tape than standard duct tape. We shoot videos and we keep a roll of Gorilla Tape or two in the production bag.  It’s perfect for taping down cords, taping props in place.  And, we use small pieces of it to hold microphones to clothing or other non-smooth surfaces. We’ve found that it sticks to almost any surface, even ones that are rough or uneven.  Now, I have to tell you, I have not put the claims that it can be used outdoors to a lot of tests. When we shoot a video, it only has to stick for that day, and then we pull it up and move to the next location.  But my colleagues at CopTool.com, taped a half wood pallet to a cinder block wall and they seemed to be pleased with the results.  Check out the CopTool.com review for more info.

So needless to say, I like the standard black Gorilla Tape, but now, they’ve come out with a Camo version.  Not being much of a hunter or fisherperson myself, I wasn’t instantly sold on how this camo tape would be used, but I’m told that folks are finding all kinds of creative uses for it.  So here’s my challenge to you.  We’re going to be running a little contest until February 5th, 2012.  All you have to do is tell us how you use (or how you would use) camo Gorilla Tape.  We’ll pick the most creative use and the winner will receive a gift package of tape from Gorilla Tape.  You can leave your comments here, but we’d also like you to leave your comments on our Facebook Page.  So get those creative juices flowing… Get your ideas in, and maybe you’ll win the prize.  Oh and please leave your email address if you comment here, so we can contact you if you win!
