Duck Brand Duct Tape: 3/5

Duck Brand is very high quality tape, and it comes with a very high price. This is probably the most expensive brand I have seen. Although this is excellent tape for any repair or construction uses, it is horrible when used for fun. Especially when used for Duct Tape clothes. It doesn't even have the classic Duct Tape weave design, so it just looks like you're wearing a shiny silver t-shirt. This brand has a very high fold-over rate. This means that about half of the roll will be used up just by the tape folding over on itself while you're pulling it off the roll!
In short, I don't like to use this brand for my creations, it just holds my ceiling together.

Scotch Brand Duct Tape: 5/5

This brand has the all the perks of Duck brand without the price and fold-overs. In the chance of a fold-over, this tape can be easily salvaged, so you don't waste any tape. Also, it still has the slight appearance of the weave look. This is Jeff's favorite, and it is very high on the list of mine. This certainly isn't my first choice for any major rpair work, however it is almost perfect for any clothing uses.

Nashua Brand Duct Tape: 2/5

Despite the name, this is an American tape that can take about as much stress as the rear end of a Pinto. If you aren't careful, it'll tear coming off of the roll! I can't say much of the price because I recieved four rolls of this as a gift. This is the current product I am using to finish my Tux for the fall homecoming, but only out of lack of fundds for higher quality tape. This tape has a very loose, flimsy fabric weave holding it together, with causes it to be very stretchy, and it doesn't amount to a whole lot. this tape is incredibly sticky, and in the probable event of a fold over, it is completely ruined. It can't be ripped, only cut. Attempted rips end up in the form of a large amount of tape stuck to your hands and arms.
