I can go one better bernadette. Last week I went down under the house and used duct tape to tape some leaking heating ducts back together.

Great Scott

Used it for anything from makeshift handcuffs to sealant, to keeping suitcases shut, to car repair, the list goes on and on....

Well when I was about 8 or 10 I fashioned a tomahawk out of a cool stick and an old broken paint scraper. I had tied it tight with string and such and it actually held and worked and chopped shit. When it started gettin loose I put duct tape on it to hold it together. I remember I used to spend lots a my boredome time scraping the scraper on the concrete to sharpen it. Do one side, then flip it and do the other. It got pretty sharp. My friend broke it and if I could of I would've killed him with it's remains. Sometimes the folks would worry since I was fashioning weapons all the time...I guess normal kids don't really do that but I wasn't going off to kill people with them I was an indian, and a ninja, and a viking, and a pirate, and an arabian knight, but above all those things I was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

A couple of uses while scuba diving:

I use it regularly to "shrink" the ankles in my drysuit boots. Just fold over the top of the vulcanized rubber boots and wrap a couple of layers of duct tape around. Makes it fit better and keeps air from migrating into the feet (it's a bad thing when your feet get floaty and you can't purge the air).

Maskeshift fin straps.

Marking tanks to show what mix of gas is in them.

Also used to secure fin straps so they don't become entanglement hazards.

I used duct tape to temporarily fix a drain pipe about 3 years ago.

Now that I think of it, its still holding it together. Must get that fixed properly one day.

Used to play this when I was on Tech Team, all the gaffa after a show rolled up to create a massive ball and then use a broom or pole as a stick. Great fun

bandaid, fixed an oilpan in a '70 ford with duct tape..

Who do you think taught MacGuyver all those nifty uses for the stuff, huh?

Duct Tape has successfully reattached a muffler to a Mercury Mystique, has provided much-needed weatherstripping for a friend's home, is a useful babysitting tool and is always cheaper than giving your girlfriend $$ for a bikini wax.

.....and that's just a few uses for this marvel of modern technology! Why, just look what it did to that tin can, and it still slices neatly through that tomato (oh wait, wrong product...)

Duck tape...great stuff...and the handyman's secret weapon...

I used it to fix the glove box in my car during High School. I would have used it to keep the muffler on after I was rear ended, but I was out of duck tape...good thing I had that piece of wire though...

I once taped my little brother to a chair in the basement and then left, it was so damn funny.

He wasn't that happy about it though...

I made a duct tape wallet once. It got too warm in my pocket and got sticky. Then I determined it broken. I broke duct tape.

There are only 2 items you need to fix anything in the world.

1. Duct Tape
2. WD-40

If it moves and isn't supposed to tape if it doesn't move and is supposed to WD-40 it.

Isn't it amazing that all lifes repair jobs can be handled with 2 items yet we still spend so much money on shiny tools.

I would consider adding a Vice Grip to your list....

Put tape around half a tennis ball and it allowed us to play cricket at school with a ball that actually swings in the air. Awsome

I just remember this one time wher my mate crashed his car in the bush. Both of us were students so had no money to get it towed or fixed. So we fixed it up enough to drive home with duct tape, a cigerette lighter, and a cheap swiss army knife. We had no other tools. I was rather pleased with out effort. Im sure Macgyver would of been impressed.
