Is friction tape the kind of stuff you would wrap around handles...baseball bats, hammers, etc.?
John Gotti and I were neighbors for a while. He was in the Federal Medical Center in Springield and I wasn't.

Growing up in the '50's I remember helping my Dad rewire the 1920 vintage house we lived in. It had knob and tube wiring with fabric insulated wiring like on old appliances. We ran lots of BX metal armored cable, cutting the tough wound steel casing with a hack saw and covering the wire connections with lots of friction tape. Friction tape was also used to repair hammer handles and garden tools, I used it on my baseball bat handles until Mom brought home some surgical tape which did not make such a sticky black mess of your hands. I remember walking to the hardware store down the street from home to purchase frictioin tape, Bulldog Brand was the brand Dad always had me get.

Looks like what is known as gaffer's tape now, used for taping down A/V cords

Yep, thats the stuff. I haven't seen any in the last 30 yrs or so either. I think skateboard tape is the modern version. It for sure works better.
