Find the Perfect Electrical Tape for Any Job

Electrical tape was originally designed to be extra insulation for wiring. Over the years, there have been several advancements with electrical tape that make it useful for a variety of tasks.

Electrical Tape Uses

Electricians have a long history of using electrical tape. However, now this versatile tape can be found in most homes and businesses. Electricians still use electrical tape to insulate wires and circuits. Electrical tape is made out of vinyl and can be used to label electrical boxes.

The sports industry also uses electrical tape on equipment for purposes such as:

  • Reinforcing hockey sticks
  • Adding cushion and grip control to racket handles
  • Keeping shin guards in place

Additional uses for electrical tape include:

  • Wrapping drumsticks
  • Stage makers for theater productions and concerts
  • Temporary automobile repairs
  • Tent and boot repair while camping
