Great for securing rope/line ends.
Been using this to wrap rope ends. Works just fine, nice melt and shrinkage. Seems to be holding up well also.I would definitely buy more when this batch starts to run out.

Quality and Ease of Use
I have only used 1 piece to over sheath a cord section on a router table that I didn’t want to replace, the cord had some router bit damage to the outer sheath but no conductor damage, undid the cord from the switch slid over the piece of heat shrink and applied heat, uniform shrinkage and good adhesive flow visible at both ends, just as they claim. Very pleased with its performance

Seems durable and good quality
Worked great for my mini-sledgehammer handle project. Handle was deteriorating and would make my hand sticky. I used a propane torch to shrink it, if that says anything about its durability. Seems very durable and I saw the glue inside so I think it will last. I’d buy again.

Great tubing, does exactly what it should - clear did not have any glue however
I really want to give this 5 stars because it is great tubing, but knocking one off because the 2" clear does not have any glue as stated. As it turns out, this was better for my application and the clear is a bit more cushy/flexible than the color are, so all is well. The only clear I've ever used was very small diameter and it was known glueless tubing...maybe it's normal with clear and the XHF normal colored tubing has glue like usual. But this is good stuff. Longitudinal shrink is almost zero, which is great.It does do a full 3:1 shrink but you'll need a heat gun, not just a hair dryer (or god forbid, a lighter) - you can do those methods with smaller 2:1 tubing but if you want the full shrink on 3:1 and in medium to larger sizes, you need better heat application.In the photo is some 1.5" black 3:1 from TEMCo and this 2" clear from XHF. Fully shrunk it's around 11/16" diameter with a good thick wall (almost like PEX pipe but softer...stiffer than PVC/vinyl tubing). It's noticeably softer than any black/red tubing I've used but it's till rigid enough to support and protect - grabs more dust than the colors and may be more prone to abrasion but this is still soft shrink tubing, not a jacket.I guess heed the glue warning if that's important to you, but otherwise highly recommended and I'll buy some other sizes from XHF in the future. Some of the 3:1 tubing out there isn't very good or just so-so, but this brand and the TEMCo are both excellent.

Works Great!
Made up a couple of music snakes for my solo act, great look and fit! Keeps my mic and guitar cables tangle free for uncluttered look! This material made clean sealed ends for a professional look. At full size, allows multiple cables and connectors to be passed through then shrinks down to a perfect size for a great seal and tight fit!

Better than expected
This tubing is quite a bit thicker than I expected and does a fantastic job. I normally can easily "snip" similar tubing with regular scissors. This stuff was significantly tougher! The 3:1 shrink ratio allowed me to slide it over connectors. It fit tightly around the wire with great adhesion after heating. It remained quite clear. I plan to buy more of this.

Good shrink tube
Great insulation tubing, if a bit stiff. It stays pretty thick after shrinking for extra protection against abrasion. Easy to cut and work with, and you can slice it open after shrinking if you're careful if you need to free up the wires.

Good quality and useful for many purposes.
This is great tubing to use when you need a fairly long, thinner diameter piece. It’s easy to work with and shrinks down well. The price was very reasonable.
