Duct Tape
God's gift to man. The perfect mix between untility and cost. The average sized role of duct tape costs less than $2 and is availiable to be purchased almost anywhere. Duct tape is not as sticky as Gorrila Tape, but it is much less expensive and more easily obtained. Every man must have a roll of duct tape somewhere. It is the perfect addition to the car,
utility closet and tool box of anyone.Duct tape was origionally created during World War 2 for the US military to
water-proof ammunition crates in the wet climates of the Pacific and Northern Europe. The water-proof qualities earned it the name Duck Tape as it repelled water like
a duck's feathers. GIs then began using this tape for fixing things in the field. After the war, this useful product was unsuccesfully used to seal duct work (hence the generic name) later to be replaced by foil tape. The two main producers of quality duct tape are Duck Tape and 3M. It is ussually found in the full-sized, gray roll. However, it can be found in many colors and sizes with many backings (plastic, rubber, fibered etc).

A brand of tape which is useful for just about anything. Many people use it to reattach broken pieces of their car after an accident. Other people
construct expensive items such as
wallets, or (if you're like me) shoes, out of Duct Tape to avoid wasting huge amounts of money
on the real thing.
Example:
Silver Duct Tape is classic, but
red and blue are only slightly less awesome.
Duct Tape shoes look far sexier than Nike
Shocks or
Asics.

The
greastest thing on this planet. Primarily used to repair things. Although many people (like myself) have used
duct tape for more crafty purposes, such as making
Duct Tape Jackets, and Duct Tape
Wallets.
