    • +5

      Is she a sparky?

    • +7

      Dont spoil her like that, what will she expect next year then??
      Maybe break the pack open and give an individual one for the next 2 birthdays and 1 for valentines.

    • Kinky!!

    • +10

      Now now jv, we know it's for the husband ;)

      • JV is buying it for himself really…

      • +1

        And that's not a gay joke, it's been widely speculated that jv is female :)

    • There are plenty of ways to remove leg hair, facial hair or even public hair. If you love using tapes, duct tapes might work on your wife.

      • +11

        Public hair doesn't belong to you sir, and I'll ask you kindly not to attempt to remove it, using tape or otherwise

      • +10

        Public hair is government property. Please grow your own private hair, for private use.

    • +12

      Perhaps JV's wife is a rubber doll?.. and needs patching?

    • When she heard about how much you saved on this she might not be able to restrain herself!

      • JV should stop poking holes in her.. where there is no holes lol

  • Nice, will stock up for next time i do some DIY wiring for the house

    • +6

      just wrap the wires in some foil mate

      • Did you used to install insulation?

    • Have fun with your home insurance being void…

      • -3

        how would wiring speakers in the house void insurance? am I missing something?

        • Its not for speakers.
          I might want to add some more downlights or swap over a fewswitches.
          You justnever know.

    instant swing in the backyard cricket game

    Ahh, this takes me back to the old days, bowling at my brother at full pace off about 10 yards with the ball hooping everwhere, then bouncing unevenly off the bricks.

    Good times.

    • +1

      OP got a plus from me for that comment..

    • And a small handful of gravel at a good length, just to give the kids a chance too.

  • +2

    are these deals binding?

    sorry for anyone who finds my puns too tacky. But stick around, I won't be (ad)here too much longer!

  • is this limited to 3, cause I cant seem to get the discount on 6 or 9?

    • +3

      I found the same thing, but then with a bit of experimentation it seems you're limited to one set (of 3) of each colour.
      So if you're not too fussed on the colours in addition to black you can get 3 rolls of red, white, blue and green as well for 99c ea.
      15 rolls of tape for $4.95, that should keep me going a while!

      • Thanks Hyena!

  • Is it wrong, that I use these to tape my football boots around the laces?
    Guess it's time to stock up.

    • Ok, you got me…..why tape around the laces?

      • +1

        Stop them coming undone mid game.
        Always a bit embarrassing when your bending over doing your laces and the ball comes strait to you at that very time for the first time all game.
        And some around your head to stop your ears been torn off.

        • Uhhh… why don't you tuck the laces in?

  • How does this tape compare to the nitto tape from Bunnings?

    • Bunnings : 8.98c/m (5 pack)
      SCA : 3.3c/m (3 pack)

      On direct comparison, it's cheaper…. DEAL!!!

      As to performance, spend a dollar I guess?

    • +1

      Anything is better than Nitto tape….don't waste your money buying that shit

      • Whats wrong with nitto tape?

        • +1

          It simply doesn't hold it's adhesion over time and when exposed to the elements (reticulation wiring), plus its not as soft/flexible as the good quality stuff.

          I purchased one of each of the 'Nitto' branded pvc tapes that Bunnings sell in my quest to find some decent pvc tape (they used to sell decent PVC tape)…..I ended up throwing them all in the bin.

          I now only buy PVC tape from reticulation shops or electrical trade stores as they seem to always stock good quality tape E.g. Ampere PVC electrical tape.

          I can't vouch for the quality of the PVC tape in this particular deal, however I would imagine it's probably pretty similar to 'Nitto'

        • @tight-ass:
          Nitto is far and away better than this stuff.

          Wouldn't bother buying more than you can use in a month or 2 as it turns to a messy mush of double sided tape.

  • @billy_bob
    Stops the laces getting trod on and undoing.

    but you have to also tape your head up!

  • +2

    Perfect for plumbing! As Guido's uncle said, there's nothing shticky tape cannot fix.

  • whats the quality like. does it actually stick over the long run or just peel off and goes sticky everywhere.

    I normally buy japanese pvc tape.

  • +1

    This tape is shit quality, stick to nitto or ripper (advice from a sparky)

    • +1 for Nitto. Always have stuck to this brand after too many bad experiences with common cheapo pvc tape.. Sticks and stays stuck without coming off.
      Available at bunnings.

    • Why do you prefer this over heat shrink? Only due to cost?

      • They are used for different purposes, heat shrink is used for things such as insulting crimp joins, reinsulating knicked cables etc.. Tape is used for wrapping soldered earths at switches, taping rough in cables together etc…

  • +1

    White PVC tape is good for labelling things if you write on it with a permanent pen. Depending on the quality they don't leave sticky residue when removed, nor tear like paper based labels.

    • Do they smudge if you write on it with pen?

      • +1

        Not in my experience with the permanent marker I use. With an actual pen they do smudge.

  • Anyone know when the deal ends?

    • I just checked & it ends on the 16th of January 2016

  • Still at $1.59 today??
