Gaffer tape and {duct|duck} tape are different products. Gaffer tape is less adhesive and is designed to be removed easily. It is more expensive :-) If you have ever used the other tape to secure cables to the floor and then uprooted those cables when tearing down, you will know the misery of trying to remove the other kind of tape now wrapped seamlessly around the cable.
