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

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).

Best of all, with Tesa you get 50 m instead of just 3M

As long as Germany are helping Israel commit genocide I’ll be skipping them too. Up until now I ordered everything from there.

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.

I can vouche for the lineup of Würth Adhesive Tapes too

Wurth is a pain to buy in my country. They only sell directly to professionals, as in mechanics, tool shops, carpentries, etc, and don’t have shops open to walk in customers.

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

This is the correct link:

https://www.thomann.de/intl/gerband_gewebeband_258_schwarz.htm

It’s not /en/, it’s /intl/ for English.
