I gotta agree with others, the convenience of tearing tape is nice, but it doesn't stick very well to my packages, normal cardboard boxes.
It is worth the higher price providing near perfect convenience.
I would NOT use this tape for heavier packages in ANY of those circumstances (especially moving), but for small to medium-size bubble envelopes and packages up to a few pounds (3 or 4 at the most), I would use this tape and have to admit being able to tear the quantity you need by hand IS a pretty cool convenience.
If you work with tape a lot, then the convenience of being able to tear it by hand might trump all other factors

Then I bought and tried it...it truly is the most amazing thing ever!
Works as well to secure things as the old fashioned large roll that requires a dispenser and never tears off a strait even piece
Being able to tear it easily and smoothly is a wonderful thing for me, and eliminates the problem of trying to use it in a dispenser which never seems to work right or trying to cut it with a pair of scissors that is all gummed up with adhesive.

This order provided me a chance to buy the slighlty bigger rolls I would really prefer to buy and get this wonderful stuff at a much reduced price per foot/inch
I have used this stuff EXTENSIVELY and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why someone would hate this stuff
This tape is perfect for in the car, on-the-go mailing, or especially when packing to move - this is great stuff, I would highly recommend!
This stuff is plenty strong for all packages except for things like a 100 lbs vise
I love the Tear by Hand tape, it is so easy to use and you don't have to deal with that metal saw tooth edge on the other tapes
Love the tear by hand tape - easy to find the end and tear off the correct length
Well, Scotch Tear by Hand Tape has stopped that problem!
I love this tear by hand tape and keep one in my car at all times.
The only things that I could find fault with is that the roll is a little small, which makes it easy to lose especially as there is no large dispenser to hold it, and that it's expensive for how little you get
Ease of use sets this tape apart from other clear packing tapes.

No, it's not as strong as the standard packing tape in the large rolls, but you can easily tear off what you need, when you need it
I use cheap packing tape for packages and save this for laminating my documents and making them last.
I do notice this tape feels a bit more "brittle" than regular clear packing tape.

It would be nice if it came in larger rolls or multi packs for better value.
The small single roll packages are NOT a good value but this package of two is a fantastic value!!!
So not a good value if you're going to need to use a LOT of packing tape, but very
the tape is easy to tear and it works just as well as or better than any similar tape requiring scissors

The idea that I could hand-rip packing tape as if it was duct tape was intriguing because it would be useful for small packages

Excellent product and idea, no more scissors or dispenser to get a clean edge when tearing the wide tape
Great idea, works as promised, more of a gimmick than a useful tool.
Unfortunately, it's not only hard to find at a reasonable price, it's hard to find at any price!
This is the best price I've found online and the only place that sells the larger rolls in 4 packs
My only real complaint is the price, for the yardage it's really pretty expensive, enough that I have to question whether it's really worth the premium cost
At a cheaper price, it'd be a no-brainer.
.. costs a little more (this order was at very fair price) but it is highly worth it!!Great service from this seller

I used cheap packaging tape in the prior 2 moves and was completely preplexed at how it didn't peel from the roll well, how the end made itself invisible so it was hard to get re-started again and how it tore off at any time
this has not become the next standard for all clear packaging tape to mimic.
This tape does deliver on its "tear by hand" promise and it works as well as the Scotch traditional packaging tape.

I get so tired of the normal tape dispensers that keep losing the end of the tape
No losing the ends of your tape and getting it stuck to itself, no need for a dispenser or sharp blades - just tear it with your hands, easy peasy
For starters when I tear it by hand it slightly deforms the end so that it doesn't lay flat.
The end is always easy to find, and it tears simply each time
No need for scissors or those awful metal teeth dispensers that always tangle the tape!
This tape is strong and makes it very convenient to just tear without having to look for that pair of scissors that is always hard to find or to hurt your teeth by trying to cut it with your teeth
Gone are the days of trying to hold the tape with one hand and cut with the other or find the flimsy little teeth on the roll
