A friend gave me a roll of sure tape recently, mainly because I was impressed with a hammer he was using, that handle was wrapped with this tape. It affords a firm grip, to the hammer handle unfortunately the roll he gave me is now almost completely gone and I'm trying to restock. It seems to be a cloth backed tape, very similar to duct tape with a almost tar like texture. I've noted that when applying it to sledgehammer handles that it is very easy to reapply, leaves no residue, is easy to tear. I've also noted that if you're going to cut it with scissors they better be in good condition as it does not seem to cut well with nicked scissors I need an opinion about which role of sure tape this is. The role I have is quite old. And hard to peel. I will say this, on many sledgehammer handles adding this to the handle is a big plus! Any ideas?

This tape is excellent for wrapping handled. Leaves little to no residue after removal. It is commonly used to temporarily hold down cords and cables.

Velcro makes a similar 15" roll of ties, or you could cut to fit a roll of this "VELCRO U.S.A. INC "Get A Grip" Velcro, 3/4-Inch 12-Feet, Black (VEK90340)" and cut the roll as you need. Screw (or bolt) the 3/4" piece to a wood or metal shelf and it should hold up pretty well for most tools aside from an 8 pound sledge. The only worry I'd have is if dirty or oily tools would get grime into the Velcro fibers keeping to from staying as tight as you cinch down and remove the tools over time. Though you could always replace that Velcro piece if it loses it's grip after a while. Velcro makes a similar 15" roll of ties, or you could cut to fit a roll of this "VELCRO U.S.A.

I think it's instantly more tacky than the original leather grip. If you stretch the grip tightly while you're wrapping it over the handle, especially at the start on the butt end where I grip it, it seems to last long enough that I never worry about the cost of replacement. Also if you clean the handle after removing the original grip and let it dry, it seems to stick better. No more overgrips for me.

I'm planning on wrapping my handle with some hockey tape or something with some grip to it (amazon B000O70K5Y or something like that) - anyone here tried that with an axe?

My husband says get a penetrating oil, WD40 is only a coating, he says a penetrating oil is used to loosen up frozen bolts. they sell it at home depot.He said that the lubricant the shop put on the multi -tool has probably dried up.He's a smart cookie, I'd take his advice :)

It was quite easy to remove the old wrap. If you don't, you will use much more rope than you think it will take, and may not get it as tightly wound. If you do as you are suggesting, please let us know how it goes.

If you looking for a type of tape similar to duct tape but removable, go with GAFFER'S Tape. You can find it on Amazon or elsewhere online. It's normal use is the Film and Television industry holding equipment and wires down, marking canisters and stage floors (called spike tape in that usage). It's a canvas tape with a rubber adhesive. It can be torn by hand and doesn't leave a residue when removed. I use it everywhere I would use duct tape. It's more expensive but I think it's worth it.

I only know this is a very, very strong and durable tape. However, if you are only using a tiny, tiny piece, I would not depend on it supporting much weight. Why not give it a try? There are a thousand uses (and you will learn this once you have a roll) ... so it will not go to waste. And the time you need to put something together or repair something quickly, it is much better than Duct tape.

I went to the site and it said most handles are interchangeable. Have you tried to use your green handle on the giant Lint roller? You have to use some force to remove an empty roller and force to get the new giant roller on the handle. I have two or three handles 2 black, one green I'm sure one of the handles held a giant roller and it looks just like all the other handles.Take your empty roller and hold it up against a giant roll. If the area above the actual handle(the part that holds the refill) looks to be the same length as your giant roll chances are it will fit. Give it a try,remember you will have to use some force to jam the refill on you green handle. Good Luck I went to the site and it said most handles are interchangeable.

Just rec mine and it tore along the seam during installation. I was still able to fit it with the tear and get an idea of the enhanced grip - it feels awesome! Yes - you need to trim it to accommodate the grip safety however it's such a snug fit i can't imagine that it will shift around especially with the springfield grip under it. I exchanged it for a new one since obviously I thought it was a bit defective to tear along the seam and reordered a new one. With my second attempt at installation I plan on either use windex as a lubricant or bust out my heat gun to soften it up. This grip transforms the XDS! Can't wait to shoot with it!

This is a roll of pressure sealing tape good for EDPM and Vinly roofs. It is sold in rolls of various widths. this 6 inch wide one is great for where the roof meets the fromt fiberglass or rear fiberglass caps. you need about ten feet for each, so some is legt over for other repairs. I use the 4 inch wide for extra insurance covering over dicor'd-over screw penetrations, but 6 will do. I recommend the heavy metal rounded roller to help in the install as this tape adheres with pressure not just touch/heat/time. It is true white so matches vinyl well, and cooler than the similar grey tape from Dicor. This is a roll of pressure sealing tape good for EDPM and Vinly roofs.

Sorry for delay in responding. The handle flares quite a bit at the end? Are you thinking even more? Also, the product no longer comes with a sheath - we had made a very fancy, but ultimately not very durable, sheath out of clear plastic. Instead offer a separate leather sheath with a lifetime guarantee. In the future, may offer a permanent blade guard free with each tool, but still a work in progress.

a good wrap will end with pulling the end strings back threw the entire handle wrap and I started with a nice loop at the eye hole and have a couple a layers of para cord , just start the ends to the other side of your handle early for easy pull threw when done , I think I have about 20 feet wrapper

Hello, Thank you for your interest! This is like spray grip tape, if that is what you are looking for. Let us know if you need any further assistance. Thanks, Customer Service

There are a few videos on YouTube showcasing how sharp and durable the blade actually is. The handle is already wrapped with paracord but if you want to wrap addition cord I say go for it.

You know what's ALWAYS handy to have? DUCT TAPE! I wrap some Gorilla tape in the middle about 3'+/- that's a decent solution to securing it and if it gets used I just pocket the extension till I get to the roll again and re-wrap. But of course the pen clip idea is a great idea too. The tape also acts as a better grip surface to start a machine screw. I now have the LM Surge, out of 5 good multitools I found a lifetime buddy finally.

I have had the grip tape on for the last 6 months on a Glock 22. It has held up better than the skateboard tape I had on before. The material is rubber-ish, not an imbeded particulate matter. But I dont use solvent to clean the composite material.
