Which Duct Tape Is Strongest? Let's find out! Gorilla, T-Rex, FiberFix, 3M Pro & Duck Max 

Appreciate all the effort you went through for these tests. I will note, Gorilla all weather has disappointed me. Using it as light shielding on LED rope lights to remove the glare on the tv indoors, it has lost its stick to the painted ceiling.

Where is flex tape

Have you ever done a video about grass or weed killer? I think that would be a great video.

Which ones the best if u can’t wait a day for it to cure and sticks to a dirtiy surface without to much of a problem

Thank you

makes me wonder what else is on his roof lol

@@alutious probably a pizza

The man is a true scientist.

only meant to leave it up there a week, forgot, remembered a year later when he was doing his second tape test

Marquise Thomas really didn’t realized I watched 20 minutes of video about tape.

@@dantedanis thats why i like this channel

i could watch 1 hour of Phil swift from flex tape

Agreed! And the tractor pull with a SINGLE LOOP of duct tape. WTH....?! That was epic. I honestly thought he'd have to double or triple up to stop slippage of the tape on itself after watching it slip & lose grip on the metal surfaces of his test rig.

I'll PayPal you 20 bucks to watch a 20 min video on tape?

Thanks for watching and subscribing.

I've been subbed for years here. This channel is AWESOME

He has a Time machine that he Uses for this.

This man is such a great dedication, to how serious he is in his channel, I I'm in awe at his enthusiasm, he has for testing every little detail, he deserves respect and a medal, no one does it better, no one!

@@GhalkeLawl but which brand of time machine is the best?

Thanks for watching.

I'd also be very interested in this test. I've switched nearly exclusively to heat shrink simply because no tape I've tried lasts in heat. If there is a product out there that would give me anywhere near the protection as shrink, I'd love to use it.

Also how they stand test of time without causing a possible short.

#dpigskin10 I thought he already did this with Electrial tape. I may be wrong... it is worth searching his video collection.

He's actually has something very similar to what u are talking about

He did it already... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_sBVEPslwZY.html

Great video idea!! Thank you!

This is perfect

one name...Permatex...makes everything else look like kids paste

Three bond vs Loctite.

Fact: Black Permatex has no ingredients because it's made of pure magic.

Thanks for watching!

I know I'm late but it isn't completely meaningless to me at least, to me it means it's a scale of strength among their brands

Ex

Thank you very much!

Great video idea! Thank you

@@ProjectFarm I'd like to find a stove polish that don't stink the house up!

Great idea.

@@marcellemay7721 Nothing I can find even close. Gagg!

Great suggestion!

Thank you very much! I love testing the marketing claims

Yeah one on my favorite parts. Like it's an official check list.

Andrew it is the best part, have you seen the tire sealants video?

"as you can clearly see from the packaging, the strength is all the way to the right." I nearly spit out my coffee lol

You are welcome!

lol

Totally can imagine it... Hey I dont have any tow straps but I have a roll of TRex tape so no problem!

Aw man, I'm done for... *a roll of T rex Brute Force is dropped down with one end already extended* I AM SAVED

I once saw a vw bus get towed out of a ditch using a bunch of tied together leather belts so a roll of tape wouldn't be all that strange

If you doubled over that T-rex tape a few times I am sure it would be possible. If you used 1000 layers of the Harbor Freight stuff, it might work lol

Great point!

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you! I've used a lot of Gorilla and TREX over the last year and like both. TREX seems to hold up a little better

I did the same. It’s good tape👍

I work for a distributor and at our last meeting with manufacturers I told the T-Rex guys about your video and then played it for him. He was very happy.

@@ProjectFarm I wonder what the strength would be If you put pieces of tape lengthwise along the joint and then wrapped the tape around the joint - as Im going to buy trex perhaps i'll try it myself!

Thank you for the video idea!

I would love to see that, I hate weak tarps.

from experience hf blue tarps last about 6 months outside,

What are the silver tarps you're talking about? I usually get the green ones at Ocean State Job Lot (probably a regional store you're not familiar with). They sell the blue ones too, but the green ones are nice, way stronger. Just curious what the good "silver ones" are that I don't know about.

This would give you a good chance to test paracord!

I appreciate that!

That's some strong tape! I'm still amazed a single loop was strong enough to tow the tractor.

Awesome profile pic!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thank you very much!

you can test with your GF some tapes. I did it before. She enjoyed :)

@@4chankrozb use Flextape 😂

@@4chankrozb with his gf? Nice bro, i'll try taping her too

We all know the most useful channel is game theory

lol. Thank you

well an f150 electric can "tow" a train. just like trex doubled up towed a tractor that was heavier then the tape tensile strength. PF and Ford are warlocks.

@@tron121 tape tensile strenght =/= weight of tractor. it doesnt work that way when towing. you are basically saying ''i can push a car, so i can deadlift 1500kg'' edit: when towing the tractor, all you have to do is overcome the resistance of the bearings, and the friction of the tires on the ground. still very impressive the tape held up...

@@wildwilco 😜I know. Was trying to be funny. Most people don't though, clever marketing is terrible. 😢

Yea, But rope is reusable.

Thanks for watching!

100 % agree Sir!

Thanks for the feedback.

I have always heard Duck tape was originally made used for repairing H1-Heuy Blades from Bullet holes, but good to know :)

@@Trooper_ChloeM Close. In WW2 they packed ammo in boxes sealed with paper tape and then dipped in wax to be made waterproof. The problem is the tear tab on the paper tape-wrapped boxes would tear off, leaving the soldiers frantically trying to open a box that lost its opening tab.. while under fire. So Vesta Stoudt, a mother of 2 Sailors from Illinois, petitioned the US Military to create a cloth-backed tape with waterproof adhesive. They ignored her, of course, she wrote to President Roosevelt, he loved the idea. He commissioned the military to make the tape, the military gave the project to a company that was a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. The military called it 100-Miles-Per-Hour tape because it could be used to fix anything, up to and including jeeps and planes. So there you have it.

@@DisIntegratedLife Thank you lol, sorry for get the story wrong lol.

'duct' tape was originally created to satisfy the need for a light-weight, waterproof fabric patch with an adhesive backing in WW2, as another commenter explained in detail. It was degined to be a cheap, easy, TEMPORARY patch for boots, clothing, hoses, power cables, packs and vehicles. In the 1950s, it was sold to the general public, where it was marketed as "duct tape." A cheap, easy way to seal ducts... Except... Affordable central hvac was still twenty years away, the avg person didn't have ducts in their home. Only upscale businesses had it. Builders started using duct tape as an upsell to business installs, because TBH, it was the first and only option available TO seal ducts. In the 1970s, when new construction homes were built with central hvac, sealing the ducts was still an upsell. It was an optional "upgrade" for the home. Historically, energy has always been cheap in the US. As a result, the upfront cost of sealing duct work was considered a luxury, like how power windows used to be "upgrades" for new cars. In fact, the act of sealing ducts in residential builds remained relatively uncommon until the late 1980s when energy prices began to rise. I have experience with residential real estate across the US, particularly older homes. From experience I can say if the home has rigid ducts and paper backed insulation, 95% of the time they aren't sealed at all, or there's a bunch of melted duct tape. Which leads me to my point. When 80s inflation hit energy prices, having sealed ducts seemed like a pretty good idea. Strapped for cash, homeowners went for the most affordable diy solution, a light-weight, waterproof, adhesive backed fabric called duct tape. That's the story of the journey taken by duct tape from allied military supply kits, to luxury theaters and high end department stores, into the junk drawer of nearly every American household. Duct tape can't actually do the thing it's named after. But maybe that's the point. Duct tape has been an inspiration for several generations. Just as the army found applications for it beyond it's intended purpose, so have millions of average people since then. Entire communities exist online around using duct tape in new ways. There are tutorials on how to make things ranging from shoes and shirts to swords and cups, entirely from duct tape. Maybe it was named after one of the few things it CAN'T do on purpose. Maybe it was trying to teach us something. Bonus story if you read this far. In 1879, a chemist in Missouri created a new antiseptic for use during surgery. It sold okay, but the hospital market wasn't very large. So he made a new dilution and sold it as a cure for gonorrhea, and a second dilution he sold as a floor cleaner. In the 1890s, he partnered with a pharmacist who began producing his formula and marketing it to dentists for oral care. In 1914, the pharmacy began selling the undiluted formula off the shelf to consumers as a mouth wash. They called it Listerine. The way we think about using duct tape to seal ducts today is obvious, but if you go back far enough, people would think you're crazy for rinsing your mouth with floor cleaner.

I apologize about the repost. It only stayed up for about 5 minutes last time. I worked out the problem with the video and it back. Thanks again!!

@@ProjectFarm oh please everyone makes mistakes... what exactly was wrong with the video? it seemed fine, but then again i didnt really examine the video with sherlock holmes eyes.

William Asston corp. hes a very good guy :)

@@ProjectFarm Reminds me of the old days when the three networks had summer reruns.😁 They still might do that but who watches TV any more?

Hell yes we wanna duct tape video....what does he mean??😂😂

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

PNDT Fade I wonder how it got so sticky😏

Some say flex tape is still holding that boat together to this day!

PNDT Fade k ice hot

Flex tape would have broken his equipment so he decided not to check it

wow that´s a lot of damage

Thank you! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you!

Thank you

you're*

Thank you very much!

Yep. I do the same. Recommend to my brother who is a maintenance supervisor based off PF. I'm in communications.

but also the better, usually more expensive

Same here...

Honestly, i try to check here before i buy most of my tools

Thanks!

lol. Thank you

The handy mans secret weapon, TREX tape.

2. Razor Blades I like this one.

@@pomegranatechannel yeah, it something that I go through a lot at the shop. I've definitely noticed good and bad blades over the years, but I've never kept track of which brands I've actually been using. Harbor Freight ,DeWalt, Stanley, Husky, random ones on Amazon, etc.

@@andreyka64 At least you remember the brands! I just grab something that LOOKS better to my eyes and don't remember the names lol

If you do a test of utility knife blades (I'm assuming the suggestion is not for shaving blades), then please include the Japanese brand Tajima. They are the one to beat I think.

Great suggestion! Thank you

@@SF-tb4kb LMAO nice metaphor 😂

Fix it correctly. Putting tape on a leaking pipe is some 3rd world craphole stuff.

@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid sometimes it is an emergency fix my man... I been in the middle of no where many times to count, these products are a thin line btn finishing the job or making it to the next town to get a proper fix

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

The one thumbs-down must be from the CEO of Duck Brand, Inc. :-P

Thank you very much! This sort of feedback keeps me motivated to keep testing products!!

I have a Chicago style pizza being delivered to me right now, weird....

Pretty much a cast.

What does submerging the roll accomplish?

@@eugenetswong It activates it.

@@eugenetswong it uses a 2 part resin were water is the part that makes it work

Sounds like water activated fiberglass tape?

Look at all the things the mythbusters did with duct tape

lol!

TUG OF WAR PLEASE!

🤘

Or tying them naked to a telephone pole on their Buck's Night.

Could you imagine slapping a good length of TRex right in the middle of his sleeping hairy chest 😂😂😂

FLEX TAPE

Thanks!

Thank you! I haven't checked the compression since the last video. It's been running great! Used it a lot this year already for mowing and raking hay. Never misses a beat.

Project Farm it would be great to see a compression revisit on the blue tractor.

Impressive endurance! Thanks again

Thanks, will do!

Glad to hear!

niccatipay ...All law enforcement agencies are now looking at you! Haha

Thank you very much!

You are welcome!

Lol

Flex tape is just ice and water shield, it's literally made to be water proofing for buildings, I would hope it did better than duct tape in the weather. I really don't know what duct tape is used for. I've never used it on ducts, because every time you go to work on ducts and someone used it, it's just a brittle mess, even after bring in a crawl space, which isn't a very extreme environment. Good Hvac people use aluminum tape imo.

Thank you for the attention to make this run down list.

This is what comsumers reports needs to go back to unbiased testing results nice

@@billybobjoe198 I sealed all of the ductwork I could get at with silicone adhesive and it made a huge difference in amount of air moved. Surprisingly all those little cracks add up.

No

No

No

You're very welcome!

Thank you!!

LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Selling pussy perhaps or what goes in it. 😂

Get your mind out of the gutter, that's Peter North's rope company who makes that tape.

I love how this comment matches so well with your user name 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! Will do!

I'll weather test it. I hope the marketing teams will begin considering that their claims will be tested. lol. Thank you very much!!

I believe AVE is causing a similar problem with power tool manufacturers. Love both channels tho

@@willpestka2745 And the LockPickingLawyer is doing this with locks.

There is a tape called sticky ass tape I bet it would beat out all of them

That strength is all the way to the right!

Some company needs turn the strength up to 11.
