Recommend good electrical tape

[cajunfirehawk]

We use #33 at work, all colors, lot of guys on the shop floor joke about how many colors they stash in their tool box at work and home.

I agree on the 33+ and 88

I use the cheap stuff for attaching wires to fish tapes. or labeling wires.

btw I don't tape my wire nuts. I find that hackish

Agreed, if you do it right, all the bare wire should be inside the nut...and stay there.

1700 for attaching to fish tapes/bundling, 35 for color coding, Super 33 for everything else.

Do you really want to trust your life (or getting shocked) to unknown tape? Only use 33 so i don't have to think.

3M Super 33 and Super 88 both have a shelf life of 5 years, and never get sticky on me even after sitting in a hot car for hours. If you use a roll a year, the $5ish per roll shouldn't bother you much if it solves a problem.

I think both of these have exceeded the five year shelf life. The cans are cool, I wonder how old they are ?
