RediTape Pocket Duct Tape

By Jeff John
Every once in a while I get a product to review I can sum up in a word: Great. I have long kept a roll of duct tape in my car and have used it on many occasions (thankfully, not to hold the car together). I’ve had a particular roll in the trunk’s kit for about 20 years now, and I hadn’t used it since a camping trip quite some time ago, when unforeseen winds cropped up and made things dicey. I just saw the old roll was pretty depleted, although it still has plenty of stickiness left—which says something about its quality. (Naturally, I’d forgotten to replace it or throw in another as well!)

The beauty with the Proton Products RediTape, of course, is its shape. It’s flat and stores far more easily than a conventional roll. It will fit in your pocket, daypack or glovebox better than a roll. Each pocket pack contains 5 yards of 1.85-inch-wide tape. It currently comes in five colors: black, the ubiquitous silver, and day-glo renditions of lime green, yellow, pink and orange. Doubt I’ll need the pink, but the black is a no brainer, and the day-glo colors are good glove box additions. I might want the orange in the daypack, too, in case signaling or flagging something is needed. It also just might be a hunt-saver in areas requiring a measureable area of orange be visible. At $3.29 each, it is relatively inexpensive insurance.

Testing a new firearm with sights of uncertain zero can be hard on target frames (above).
Jeff would’ve have been proud to hit this one so well if he’d been aiming at it! When this
homemade PVC frame (below) took a round at the range, RediTape kept things together for the
rest of the session. It works so well, in fact, Jeff hasn’t had to add a new piece of PVC
to his hardware-store shopping list yet. RediTape comes in 6 colors (pink not shown).
