What's the difference between the short and long rolls of tape, and which one should I buy?

The difference comes down to length, cost efficiency, and convenience. Shorter rolls are great for small projects, portability, and occasional use. If you want more tape for your money, longer rolls are more cost-effective per yard. Select longer rolls if you frequently tackle larger projects or to avoid running out of tape mid-project. No matter how much or how often you need tape, we've got options that deliver the value you need.
