    Electrical tape roll with marked end - photo

    Electrical tape roll with marked end. A little gimmicky, but not so much if your eyes have seen better days. The concept itself is thought-provoking too.

    After you've cut off your piece of tape, turn under the corner of the end still on the roll. The turned down bit will not only mark the end but provide something under which to get your fingernail to pull out a future piece of tape.

    That’s a bloody good idea, but not really needed on electrical tape. Transparent tape is a bitch to find the cut end on sometimes.

    I worked for a guy who claimed he once had a roll of tape which had no end from which to unroll it! He was rather prone to hyperbole.
