This band came just at the right, as we had both a broken extension cable, and a leaky garden hose. The extension cable for the electric lawnmower had a crack in the shell. According to the brief description I have overlapping wrapped the Scotch mending tape with continuous train around the power cord. I have carried out the garden hose the same. I have to say this Self agglomerating band gives me a very good impression. All repairs keep you safe and tight! It should be noted that it should be used at room temperature. But after that it can withstand temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees to plus 90 degrees. It is UV resistant, and splash-resistant. Thus, the band has secured a firm place in our workbench. Highly recommended!
