Cheap quality packing tape

Lotus-eater

I posted this on the ebay board and I thought some here might benefit as well.

3M do decent packing tape and atm have a sale on, with free P+P as well. This means it's cheaper to buy this tape from them, than from any ebay seller or shop.

They also have some other stuff on sale.

For example
Scotch® Packing/Packaging Tape 50mmx66m Buff 6 Rolls

Price: £4.20
Special Offer : £2.60

A comma in between Cheap and quality would change the meaning of the title of the thread completely.

'quality' on it's own is meaningless. as a descriptive term it requires additional information e.g.: good, bad or inferior...

Not true, 'quality' can be a noun or an adjective, see:

Anyway, regardless of the punctuation or grammar within the thread title it was still a good (if not terribly exciting) find.

Thanks for this - they also have kids reflective vests in 2 sizes for only 99p each. Perfect for when they are playing Bob the builder!

Can this tape be torn with teeth?

I've bought some that can and some that can't. I find its a *quality* selling point.
