Junk
Junk. So thin you can’t get it off the roll without tearing

TOTAL GARBAGE
Went through 10 rolls and every single one was complete crap. They all would split and tear. Thanks to 3M's bs I ended up losing over 4 hours of production.

Gets the job done
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely gets the job done. There was no bleed through once the tape was painted over. It peels off easily once you get a good grip. I would purchase for future home painting projects. It is sticky enough for indoor and outdoor use.

Worked as expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of 3m-scotchblue] I received Scotch Contractor Grade masking tape free of charge to review. Masking tape can sometimes be too cheap to use, but this performed as it should. I came off the roll easily, stuck well and came off easily when the project was done.

(no review title)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All the products I received were horrible, total dumb and trash. Didn't work at all. They are totally trash and should be thrown in the garbage. Nobody should ever buy it. Just a total waste of my time in this Community.

Worked well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this to try and found it to be good masking tape. It stayed where I put it and did its job well. Pealed off easily and left a clean line.

Lots of stick!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this Scotch Contractor Grade masking tape to try and it has made such an impression on me that it will be my go-to tape for a lot of household tasks. It's great for masking but it does so much more. I used it to hold together a broken plastic wrap dispenser box and it works better than any other tape I've used for that kind of task. I used it to hold a paper sign up for a couple days and it did the job and removed cleanly when I was done with it. Still finding good uses for it!

Really good masking tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is really top quality masking tape -- it's sticky enough to do projects that require masking tape (like taping off stripes to paint on a wall) but it's not so sticky that it pulls paint off the wall when you remove the tape. I don't really understand how it works because it's nice and sticky yet not TOO sticky. I even stuck it on a piece of copy paper and it didn't rip it.

No Messy Residue!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M sent me a free sample of Scotch Contractor Grade Masking Tape 2020 to use with my next painting project. It works like a dream to keep detail paint from spreading onto the taped surfaces; especially important when painting in the kitchen next to the built in stove. Highlight? Easy to remove with no sticky residue left behind. Perfect product for do-it-yourself home projects with paint!

Great Masking Tape
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this masking tape a few weeks ago. So far I have been impressed. The masking tape sticks well to hang things on the wall. When no longer in use it easily is removed from the wall and does not leave behind a residue. I would recommend this product to anyone looks for a great masking tape! It gets the job done.

Worked well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this tape to hold my refrigerator handle on after I epoxied it. My refrigerator is stainless steel, so i was a little concerned about residue. The epoxy instructions said it would take 24 hours to set so i needed to keep it in place for that time. Just to be certain, i let it set for three days. After about 70 hours, i removed the tape. The handle had not budged from when it was taped and there was no residue anywhere the tape had been placed. For me, the tape worked like a charm.

Works great all the time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed some masking tape for a craft project, and this tape worked perfectly! I had received a roll of the Scotch Contractor Grade Masking Tape free to evaluate recently and it worked perfectly to hold the walls of the diorama in place until the glue set. It was also excellent for taping off the sections of my barn quilt craft project so I could paint the details without the paint running into the other sections. Removal was clean and easy! I'd definitely use this again!

Great Stick No Residue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use this for when you need to use a covering to protect anything during a project. Whether it be plastic sheets or paper or even regular sheets you use to cover & protect. Tape it down it holds great with no residue after removing.

Not what I was hoping
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to try and I'm glad I did. I learned that using this product in the short term no longer than a day is good. It holds very well but if left too long can cause damage.

Very good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M sent me a free sample of this product to evaluate. After receiving it was a few days before I had a project to use it on. I did a repaint on a large room. Found it easy to apply. After allowing drying time (2 days) found removal very easy and found it left very crisp lines with no bleed thru. Very satisfied with this.

Good adhesion
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the width of the tape. Saves me time having to use 2 pieces of tape. Plus, it’s best feature is its adhesive properties. This tape sticks better than any other tape that I have tried. I think I just found my new favorite go-to masking tape.

Better Than Average
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company recently sent me a free sample of Scotch Contractor Grade Masking Tape. I had a small painting project to complete on a remodeled clothing closet and this product came in handy. I was able to truly test it out. It applied well. The size/width was just right. The removal was almost perfect. The tape came off easily however there were small areas where the new paint also lifted along with the tape. I did not follow the usual guideline for removing the tape at a 45 degree angle so that may have been a factor here.

Really works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I messed up my back so could not do the painting I wanted to do. I did clean baseboards a bit using the Scotch Contractor Grade Masking Tape. It did work. It was easy to tear off the roll, and easy to apply to the carpet. When finished it came up quite easily. Will be using it when I paint.
