What do should I look for in a roll of duct tape?

I know that I want it to be highly visible, maybe even fluorescent. That way it can be used as markers.

I also know that I want it to be marked in one inch increments, for easy measuring.

Hey did you know you could use duct tape for wart removal?

Who is CK? I've run a search on the forums and on Google, but I've found nothing.

I like Nashua brand, but to be honest I never met a duct tape I didn't like.

You're not supposed to use duct tape for electrical work as the cotton threads in it can conduct electricity. Other than that I guess the sky's the limit.

Backpacker magazine did an evaluation of different brands of duct tape. Type in "backpacker" and "duct tape" in google. I couldn't get the link to work.

Hi bill2054

Thanks for reminding me of that review by Backpacker Magazine. I forgot they had done one. And I even had a subscription to them too.

Here's another use for duct tape:
The string in the tape can be used for floss or thread <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
