Product Review: Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape

 

Strapping tape is, at least for me, one of those things that I either have too much of or that I always need more than I have on hand. The former is not really a problem, but the latter is because it is always a pain to stop what you are doing to go to a store to get more. This gets you six "regular" sized rolls, of 3M strapping tape. Each of the rolls has a dispenser on them so you do not have to mangle the end of a new piece of tape every time you need one to separate it from the roll. I definitely recommend this.

Product Review: Value Combo: Bubble Cushioning Wrap Rolls(30ft/Easy-to-Tear) & 12"X 12" Foam Wrap Sheets 30-Pack

 

This is a combination pack that includes 30 foam sheets and a roll of bubble wrap. The foam sheets are not the kind with the pockets, which are good for dishes. These are best for putting between picture frames with glass fronts or wrapping around smaller items. You can, however, use them to separate glass plates as you stack them. The bubble wrap is pretty standard, has small bubbles, and is perforated so you can separate it into smaller sheets without cutting it. Definitely a good value for the money.

Product Review: DOTSOG Moving Straps 2-Person Lifting and Moving System Adjustable Shoulder Lifting Carrying and Moving Straps

 

These are two-person moving straps that can be used to lift large and/or heavy items such as appliances, that would be difficult to carry, especially up or down a flight of stairs. It takes a bit of trial-and-error to get them to work given the lack of instructions, but once you do, they work as advertised to move heavy objects with a lot less effort than just trying to pick them up and hoist them around especially when going up and down stairs.

Product Review: Mighty Gadget Brand 3/16" Air Bubble Cushioning Roll

 

It is a pretty standard bubble wrap, with smaller bubbles. The roll has perforations so you can separate it into smaller or larger sheets, as necessary. The only drawback is that the perforations can be a bit hard to see, especially if you do not have great eyesight. Otherwise, it is very good for a small amount of bubble wrap to keep fragile items safe when you are packing them up.

Product Review: Premium Foam Packing Sheets (50 Count)

 

These are foam packing sheets that work much better than using newspaper to keep glass dishes and small fragile items protected when you are packing them up. They have pouches so you can place a bowl or plate inside, then stack them inside a box, so you basically have two layers of foam protecting your dishes. I definitely recommend them.

Product Review: PackageZoom Moving Boxes Medium 18 x 14 x 12 Inches 20 Pack

 

While these are medium-sized boxes, they are a bit smaller than the medium boxes at Home Depot or UPS (if you are going off that size). They are a perfect size to hold books, as they do not allow you to put so many in that the box ends up weighing 75 lbs and is too heavy to comfortably lift and move around. You will need to use strapping tape to put them together, but once they are together they are sturdy, and a decent value for a pack of 20.

Product Review: Homz 34-Gallon Durabilt Plastic Stackable Storage Organization Container Bin

 

I got these for storing things in my garage to get ready for a renovation and wanted sturdy bins that are moisture and pest-proof. These are large bins with lids that lock much better than some of the less expensive bins out there. They are a bit overpriced on Amazon compared to a 55-gallon version of the bin that sells at Home Depot for $25. But, you can keep them in a garage without worrying about mice or water getting into them and damaging the contents.
