What Electrical tape is good these days ?

[LukeD]

Been using "Crimp Uk" .Its ok...nothing amazing .But stretches a lot when pulling out . What is worth buying etc ? thanks

The only thing I use "Electrical tape" for recently is putting on brill bits, so I know how deep I need to drill.
Now 'self amalgamating tape' is good for proper electrical tape.

Surely you use it to wrap up chock block connectors to make them safe before burying them behind plaster or under floor boards?

'Diall' tape from Screwfix isn't the best you'll find, but it's better than that produced by some big names in the industry.

I'd take stretchy tape any day, over the stuff that barely sticks to itself.

Sandwich bag and black duct tape for that

Choc block? Don’t you just twist the wires together?

I bet this builder is now wishing he had marked his drill bit...
