I've yet to come up with a potential use for this marvelous stuff when it didn't fill-the-bill........ great help in all walks of life around the house and beyond.

Teens use it (it comes in colors too) to make very useful, practical and tough wallets - quite a fad these days 'mongst our young 'uns. A granddaughter made a pr of flip-flops with only duct tape and wears them to class at Ohio St!

I used a small circle to cover an upcoming wart on my chin and within a week the wart was never to be seen/found again. It was completely done away with. How simple, easy, cheap is that?

Have you tried reattaching a skirt or pant hem that's unraveling? Works. Or even a hole in your sock with a patch on both sides (inside and outside) of the sock? Works.

I've had a roll of this duct tape around the house for at least five years and it's apparently of this same brand. I'm not certain where I got it, but it's a very handy thing to have around. You just never know when you might be able to use something like this. For example, recently I had a window broken, but not shattered. I used this duct tape to fasten the pieces together, until I finally got around to putting in a new window. The tape worked fine. I've also used it to tape boxes for postal shipping. I've used it in the garden and on the car. Believe it or not, I even used it to fasten a duct together. I was installing a exhaust vent from the kitchen stove hood to a roof vent. It worked splendidly, just as intended. The list of things could go on and on.

This is handy stuff. Every house should have a roll or two, for whatever. I buy so little of it that I have no idea what the merits of the different brands might be. I just happened to pick this one off a shelf and it works rather well. A plumber might be better versed in the nuances of the different brands. This is a product that is inexpensive, goes a long way and it has worked fine for me in a wide variety of ways. What more could I ask?

This duct tape was $8.97, when stupidly I could have bought some at Wal-Mart for 2-4 bucks. Nothing special about this duct tape either, not that there should be.

Costs $3.99 but also costs $4.99 to ship the damn thing. Just get some duct tape at the store you hermit.

-4 stars due to high shipping cost.

IN A NUTSHELL:

This is a nice weight and width of this very useful tape. I have recently used this tape for an odd range of improvised tasks; from taping together a cracked respirator to mending a fallen storm door panel.

Even our daughter Angela has used this tape to mend her broken eye glass frame and decided it made a kind of campy fashion statement -- so the duct tape stayed on after the glasses were permanently mended!

One can't plan on the many useful tasks that this tape will be needed for, but one can keep the tape on hand for the need is bound to arrive without warning.

BOTTOM LINE:

Easy to use, inexpensive to buy, and available just about everywhere.

This is great duct tape. Cheap, too! Perfect for household repair, pranks, etc.
