Duct tape is for everyone. It’s the essential fill-in-the-cracks patching, sealing, and hanging item. What other product can you use to repair a truck bumper, a work boot, and a blown out Scrabble box?We tested more than 10 duct tapes on wood, glass, and plastic sheeting, spending seven months monitoring their outdoor performance in a New England field, and we found the best roll of duct tape to have around the house is Duck Max Strength. No other tape we tested has such a good combination of features—strong adhesive, high material strength, and stretchy flexibility—making it the most useful in the widest variety of situations.
