What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: Every home should have electrical tape. It's got a million and one uses. Two rolls for $1.99 is a fine price.
Cons: This is ordinary vinyl electrical tape, with the usual gooey adhesive on the back, so it's not a very good choice if you want to actually INSULATE something electrical. This sort of vinyl tape always turns into a sticky mess after a few years, and often slides off the thing you want it to insulate in the process. Better to use heat-shrink tubing or cloth "gaffa" or "duct" tape if you want insulation.
The tape on each of these reels is also, according to the label, 0.008 inches thick, 0.75 inches wide, and 10 yards long. The width of the tape is actually only about 16mm (0.63 inches), though, so I wouldn't be surprised if the other specifications were off, too. I'm not going to unspool a whole roll to see if it's short, though :-).
Other: Electrical tape's particular qualities make it very useful for all sorts of jobs that other tapes can't do. Taping a temporary sign to a wall, for instance; electrical tape will hold firmly, but will also be easy to remove without removing paint as well.
All this, if you ask me, more than makes up for the fact that this sort of tape is not actually very good for any sort of non-temporary insulation job.

Pros: It's electrical tape. The vinyl is an insulator, so you can apply it over exposed wires to prevent shorts. Each roll is individually wrapped, so dirt will stay out until you're ready to use it.
Cons: The width of the strip is slightly narrower than standard rolls, so you'll end up doing more turns to wrap a length of wire. The adhesive isn't very good on the ones I received. The glue barely holds on to surfaces, but that's the nature of vinyl tape.
Other: A little bit expensive for the amount of tape you get. Not the best, but it'll work fine in a pinch.

Pros: Great tool , you should give it a try. Do not hesitate it, hesitation is for the weak. I am impressed about quality of that material, very good for use to protect wire and all types of wire and electrical itens.
Cons: Electrical tape's particular qualities make it very useful for all sorts of jobs that other tapes can't do. Taping a temporary sign to a wall, for instance; electrical tape will hold firmly, but will also be easy to remove without removing paint as well.
Other: very good to use in electrical work.
