Klein Tools Caution Tape, Barricade, CAUTION, Yellow, 3-Inch

Klein's yellow barricade tape runs 3 inches wide (7.6 cm), printed with bold black CAUTION lettering on a bright yellow background. At 3 inches it reads clearly from a distance when strung across an excavation, a corridor, or a work zone, which is the width most crews standardize on for general hazard cordoning.

It will. The tape is 2.5 mil polyethylene and is highly resistant to acids, alkalis and other soil components, so direct contact with backfill or damp ground won't break it down the way paper-backed marking would. Note it is a barricade tape carrying a CAUTION legend, not a printed underground utility warning tape, so use it for cordoning the work area rather than as a buried locate marker.

Two roll options: Klein 58000 and Klein 58001, both 3 inches wide. For a large site perimeter or a job you'll be re-taping daily, take the longer roll and cut from it; for a truck stock item used a few runs at a time, the shorter roll wastes less.

Yellow with black CAUTION lettering is the general-hazard cordon: open panels, a wet floor, an area where people need to slow down and pay attention but are not barred outright. Red DANGER tape is the one to reach for when entry poses an immediate serious hazard and nobody should cross. Klein's tape here carries the CAUTION legend on a yellow background, so it covers the first case.

Treat it as consumable. Polyethylene barricade tape at 2.5 mil is thin, non-adhesive plastic strung between cones, posts, or stakes; it stretches and tears when pulled off a run, so most crews cut it, use it, and throw it away. If you need a boundary you can put up and take down repeatedly, use retractable cone-bar or chain barriers instead.

Yes. It's a plain polyethylene film with no adhesive, so it leaves no residue on walls or doors and can be tied off to railings, door handles, or stanchions. The 3-inch black-on-yellow print gives tenants a clear visual boundary around a torn-up section of corridor or an open electrical panel while the work is live.
