GRADES OF DUCK TAPE

Grades of Duck Tape? Is Duck Tape is elementary school? No, don’t be ridiculous. Grades refer to the material make-up of the different types of Duck Tape. For example, Industrial Grade Duck Tape is made for the toughest jobs, and adheres far more aggressively than regular tape. You wouldn’t want to use it on your cat. Come to think of it, you wouldn’t want to use any Duck Tape on your car unless it was an absolute emergency.

Anyway, that’s what grades of Duck Tape refer to. Here’s our list:
