What do you use electrical tape for? I can imagine there's a whole range of practical applications.

Cheers.

Once had to send a fitter to hospital for stitches after he cut the palm of his hand open and he had used electrical tape to hold hold the sides of the cut together.
 
It's for running in new cables mostly for me. Tape multiple cables together, then tape the bundle onto a piece of trunking lid or SuperRods to pull them through a false ceiling or loft, duct, etc.

Holding sticking plasters in place. Essential part of a first aid kit.
 
Identifying tent poles by using different colours/bands.
Taping big cables to smaller ones when pulling through conduit etc.
the uses for it are numerous.

Are you trying to extract the answer "To insulate electrical wires/contacts" from someone so we can have the old debate about it not being an insulator?

Hey don't be paranoid bro.

No I bought a reel to fix my bed castor and now I have most of it left over.
 
Fantastic for holding your finger together after slicing it open it on a stanley knife - in fact any cuts that can be taped and I swear it heals quicker
