The tape does not come in a reel, but is folded, which at the beginning is not a problem, but at the end when the folding is a bit angular, makes bonding easy then. The gray color is quite dark, so even after prolonged use, the tape can not act too dingy. It is self-adhesive and the protective film is relatively good. A slightly unpleasant odor has the tape out of the box, which only partially evaporates.
The width of 25mm is sufficient and the length of two meters long seems at first glance, but then in use by wrapping was not as long as the first impression. The tape is durable from -40 ° C to + 71 ° C range, which should be sufficient for German temperatures. Furthermore, it should be UV resistant, that is to show the future, whether this is so.
For applying the adhesive surface must be cleaned before, this with a non-oily cleanser, best suited for this purpose benzine. Thereafter, the tape can be bonded, it is important in this case that it is not pasted over one another, since otherwise not holding correctly.
The tape is non-slip and provides security through a firm hold. No more slipping and also a firm grip, which can dose the force better and more accurate.
Conclusion: good band that strong grip and thus provides safety and is easy to work with. However, the smell and the price prevents me to give the five stars.
