Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

What are you doing here? Isn’t there some tankie instance you can lecture on how duct tape manufacturers commit genocide?
You obviously don’t know what a tankie is.
Apartheid South Africa didn’t escape its shackles by apathy. A global boycott helped end it, often led by citizens in spite of their governments and employers (see Ireland). But you’re free to continue spending your money indiscriminately.
Don’t buy any of them. The absolute best is Gerband from Thomann. Sticks very well, but isn’t as nasty as Tesa. It’s made for events so it’s also easy to remove after a few days. Hands down my go-to tape. https://www.thomann.de/intl/gerband_gewebeband_258_schwarz.htm

It was just missing an L, probably mouse dragged copied
This is the correct link:

It’s not /en/, it’s /intl/ for English.
But Tesa gaffer tape is shit.
At least in a professional setting it is frowned upon because it leaves a lot of glue residue on floors and cables, which is a pain in the ass to clean.
Gerband is also German and the way better product, at least regarding gaffers tape.
I’m partial to the Japanese Nichiban gaffa tape, it’s great and inexpensive, doesn’t leave residue (pretty strong though if you’re gonna use it on delicate surfaces).
