18 Stretch Film/wrap with Tension Control Handle,1500 feet Industrial Strength up to 500% Stretch, Stretch Wrap Industrial Strength, Durable, Thickness, Extra Thick, Heavy Duty Shrink Film (2 Pack)

I’m a huge fan of stretch wrap, and have been using it for years both at work and home. It is especially helpful for storage, for garbage, and for moving. Whenever I need to “bundle” things – especially things that are hard to bundle, I always reach for this stretch warp. Think: garden stakes you put away for the winter, opened rolls of fencing or chicken wire, rolls of carpet, stacks of nursery pots, and on and on. For garbage prep, this wrap is really helpful. When you have bulky/puffy items to discard (like old used pillows or bedding), you can use this wrap to help squeeze out the air and really shrink down the size of the garbage. Or if you have odd-shaped or sharp items that will just tear through garbage bags, this stretch wrap will help keep them together in your garbage can. Or when you need to recycle all those Amazon boxes, this wrap is great at tightly securing them together to limit the space they will take up in your recycle bin. (See photos for a couple of examples.) But positively the BEST use for this wrap is when moving ANYTHING – from a one-off to a whole house. This wrap can be used to hold furniture drawers and doors in place, or to bundle table legs together, or to bundle shelf planks together, or to keep the bag of hardware strapped to the bottom of the furniture, or to securely hold moving blankets around delicate furniture, etc., etc. It can even be used to wrap furniture corners both to help protect them and to protect the walls around them. And for moving boxes, this wrap is AWESOME! Whenever you have an overstuffed box that’s starting to burst, this wrap will save the day. For boxes with separate lids (such as for paper records), this wrap will keep them securely closed. And probably the best feature: just a quick single loop of this warp around the perimeter of each box will allow you to better and more securely stack the boxes in your car, truck, or moving van – as the wrap around each box will securely hold onto the wrap of any other box above, below, or next to it. I’ve been able to securely stack boxes right to the top of any moving van, without fear of the boxes tumbling over during transit. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about how handy this stretch wrap is. I have smaller rolls too – and not a week goes by that I don’t grab one or the other sized roll for something! I put this particular wrap to the test… trying hard to poke my fingers of one hand through the wrap while I pulled on the ends of the wrap with my other hand (see photo). I could not break through the wrap. The strength of this wrap will not disappoint. The only one issue is with the roller handles. You need handles that freely turn but that you can also “brake” with your hands (or thumbs), so that you can apply pressure to stretch the wrap tight. This wrap does come with two such handles that you pop into both ends of the roll you’re using. But the handles are a little too small for the cardboard core, so they don’t snugly fit into the roll – in fact, they just fall right out. But simple fix: remove a small strip of the stretch wrap and wrap it around the mustard-colored part of the roller handle that insets into the cardboard core (see photo). Push the roller handle into one end of the roll, then gently tap the roll upside-down onto the floor to push the roller handle snugly into the cardboard core (see photo of roller handle properly inserted into the core). Repeat the process with the other roller handle on the other end of the roll… and then you’ll be good to go. Just be certain to remember to pull those roller handles back out when the roll is empty. You’ll need them for the next roll – don’t throw them out!

An 18 roll of American made stretch wrap actually measures 18 wide. This product only measures 17 wide and yet it is advertised as being 18 stretch wrap. The box it comes in measures 18, but that doesnt make the product 18 wide. It is deliberately misleading and due to the shortage of material, you are paying considerably more per square yard than advertised. The roll is actually close to 6% smaller than advertised. Id like to see these people try that with car tires! Yah, you need 16 tires, but were gonna send you 15 tires..... Buy American.

No complaints money well spent

The quality and value of the shrink wrap is a good one. I use this to wrap up my products that I sell part time. On average shrink wrap is kind of expensive if you are not a big company or generating a lot of income to support shipping supplies, so this is good for the everyday average user like myself for small sales and protecting your items for shipping.

This stretch film gives you four rolls for about the cost of three generic house brand from Wally World, so overall its reasonably priced for what you get. Unlike some poorer rolls Ive seen, these actually come with separate handles so that the roll spins on the handle rather than having a tube as the handle that has to spin in your hand. We went through quite a bit of this sort of wrap in our move and its really handy to have just to keep things together without having to tape or bag them up. Overall, very handy to have.

Unless you’re an expert using these, you’re better off going to the dollar store and buying plastic wrap and using it (and it works better

Good quality wrap, reasonably priced. No issues with its use.

the wrap is very stretchy , and that is helpful to get a tighter wrap on things. Single layer can easily be ripped to end wrapping, but multiple layers adds strength. my one complaint is the handles. The roll falls off the handle very easily if held with the handle. this is annoying when wrapping something that requires holding it that way

I like the fact that these rolls have a lot on them and the film is very sturdy. Ill be using this for packing.

Fall came up on us fast, and we had to scramble to secure our air-conditioning units and free-standing fans with part of our storage room unavailable where we normally keep such things. I used this wrap on all of our fans and items I dont want getting full of spiders and dust with storing them in the basement, and it was a cinch. The handles make these less bulky when the time comes to store them but they arent as easy to maneuver as handles that protrude more. Still-- I am not unhappy at all and this was a great value.
