Tools and Hardware Reviews of Scotch Super Strength Packaging Tape, 1.88 Inch x 38.2 Yards (3850S-RD)
Customer Review: Super tape; super strength, Made in USA, for and by Superman
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
VINE must have used this tape to package it, because I could not remove the bubble wrap from around it without my using all my super strength, tearing the bubble wrap, to the distress of all of my friends who love to sit around popping bubble wrap.
Made in the USA (gosh, we make something besides guns?), twenty times stronger than acrylic tapes. With handy minimal text graphics hidden on the inside back of the label, way down inside the roll, in the back, illustrating the proper dispensation of this 3M product.
'Pull tape through the' (rest illegible and/or covered by VINE sticker - I shall never know - through the what? through the night?)
We also find upon this deep inside back label the explanation and documentation of the claim to be twenty times stronger, in letters tinier than my optometrist permits me to read anymore for endangering those tiny little springs which adjust my organic lens, but we discover there this claim is based upon ASTM #(rest too small to read).
We are also warned the plaid design is copyright. We are not told what are the consequences of wearing this plaid in plagiarism, yet uncomfortably recall that horrible warning: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
Again in the small print we are told Made in USA with a copyright of the year 2000, followed by the information the 'Dispenser made for 3M.'
Could this indicate that while the tape itself, twenty times stronger as it is than acrylic tape, is made within the USA (and territories? Could this include Puerto Rico? OMG! GUAM?), the dispenser might clearly have been constructed by child slave labor in China, Mexico, Ethiopia?
The outside, top label I received differs from the one pictured upon this product page. It is simpler, and while declaring in small white print it is made in the USA, it bears no Stars and Stripes, as does this page. Also the tape itself is entitled: Scotch Shipping Packaging Tape.
Now, we all know the hard way how much the Scots insist on being called Scots, and not Scotch, despite the 1890 Glenlivet Scotch Whisky Distillery Peat Worm Tube and the rest. Yet, what I want to know is what have I been sent; is this shipping or packaging tape, or some unholy hybrid? This product page indicates only Packaging, without the shipping. Have I therefore received a superior product, capable not only of packaging but also of shipping? Caveat Emptor!
A handy phone number for such persistent questions, and even comments (hopefully far more helpful than any comment which graces these present pages), may be found upon the back side of the label, deep within the roll of the tube of the tape, in numbers much smaller than my optometrist permits me anymore to read.
All other such helpful information has been concealed forever beneath the Vine program scanning sticker, including the continuation of the cartoon series describing the proper set-up and application of this equipment.
Super strength for those important packages home; matches USPS regulations, and perhaps even FedEx and UPS as well. At nearly two inches wide and over 38 yards long (more precisely 48mm by 35 meters; I don't know why those Scots could not have gone the full fifty millimeters but they are famous for their stinginess . . .) this should cover heavily any package you may have for shipping, to such a degree a machete or small chainsaw will be required for any planned opening.
After all, this is twenty times stronger than acrylic tape.
At least the package I was sent says so, not this product page.
My problem of course is getting all jammed up in the dispenser (made FOR 3M, but WHERE??!!) and cutting my fingers instead of the tape, and just ripping out the tape and cutting it with my teeth, what are left . . .
I am so sorry VINE covered up the cartoons describing the set-up process, and that 3M made its help line number too small to see . . .
Still, this is the tape for Superman when he packages up forever more those friendly Kryptonite cookies Lex Luthor keeps sending. Not even Superman can get them out again!
Could we apply it to the digits of a troll typing hand?
then and then alone could I declare it:
Truly Great Tape!
