Oh, cool!
More plastic crap I don’t need, which is super cheap because the societal and environmental costs have been externalised!

Do you have an environmentally-friendly way of insulating wires?

Is this a forum for electricians?
(and yes, I did note that you avoided the externalisation)

$1.25? I think that’s what I paid for my roll [life time supply] in 1969.

WTF, since when are we so obsessed with DEALS DEALS DEALS that we need a bulletin on the latest low cost opportunity for a roll of fucking tape.
When will we see a headline that reads: Great new deal on saving your local mom & pop hardware store, all items are 100% satisfying b/c you’re getting off your butt and walking, supporting a local business in great need of your support, and you’re not funding another Jeff Bezos vanity space project. This deal NEVER expires!

I think a roll that’s six inches across cost that in 1969…
I find those big rolls in old toolboxes sometimes.
They’re usually fine.

Clearly not, because if it were, everyone would be pointing out that if it’s not Scotch Super 33+, it’s crap electrical tape.

One does not buy electrical tape from Amazon, one buys electrical tape from one’s local hardware store.

That, and don’t buy black. White 35 is better because you can write on it.

Cool. Is there still striking workers? Have they started to pay anyone a living wage? Have they stoppes trying to circumvent labor laws by using the “gig economy” as a legal safe haven to do so?!

What are the odds that’s actually 3M and not a knock off?
I’d reckon halfway between slim and nil.
