The metal band is 35 mm wide and available in various lengths between 1 m and 12 m. The visible magnetic surface is white and slightly shiny. The edges are rounded so that there is no risk of injury.
There is a 1 mm thick foam layer between the metal side and the adhesive strip, which allows for easy correction on uneven surfaces. The product is flexible on the one hand, which makes cutting to size very convenient, and tear-resistant and robust on the other. The tape can be bent in all directions and retains its shape.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Cuttability and handling | Uncomplicated and simple installation | 100 points |
| Adaptability to surfaces | Tested on metal, glass, plastic and wood | 100 points |
| Adhesive force | Very good adhesion to all smooth surfaces | 100 points |
| Durability & quality | Good workmanship and quality | 100 points |
| Residue-free removal | Residues possible on many surfaces | 70 points |
| Total | 94 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The metal strap from YOURGANIZE® performed very well in the practical test. Cutting and attaching the tape is easy and requires no manual skill. The tape can even be attached to corners or rounded edges without any problems.
We tested the tape on smooth surfaces made of metal, glass, plastic and wood and were able to use it without any problems in all cases. The product impresses with its excellent adhesion to the wall. Due to the increased metal content, magnets can be attached easily and stably .
Surprisingly, it was also possible to attach the product to uneven surfaces such as rough wood, contrary to the manufacturer’s instructions , although the adhesive force is limited here.
The manufacturer expressly points out in its advertising texts and in the supplied instructions for use that the metal tape cannot be removed without leaving residue. In our practical test , the adhesive tape could surprisingly be removed from a very smooth wooden panel without leaving any residue. However, it should not be used on wallpaper or similar surfaces if damage is to be avoided.
Overall, the product is well made, stable and does what the manufacturer promises.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good performance in the mid-price segment | 80 points |
| Rating cut | 4.3 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 65 points |
| Total | 73 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
Customers on the Amazon platform rated the product with 4.3 out of 5.0 stars. Over 75% of customers rated the product with 4 or 5 stars. Deductions were often made by these customers for the adhesive residue when removing the product and for the sharp edges that can occur when cutting to size. At the same time, many customers praised the ease of installation and the very good adhesion to both the surface and the magnets. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive impressions of these users.
It should be noted that the average rating of 4.3 stars is partly distorted into the negative by unrealistic customer expectations.
Prices for equivalent products on the internet range from €12.99 to €14.49 for a length of 3m. The self-adhesive metal tape from YOURGANIZE® is therefore in the middle price segment with a price of €13.99. Due to the very good quality of the product, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
