There are certain products that are, without necessarily knowing it, providing the very fundamentals of human existence. They aren’t international space stations, GM crops or potential cures for cancer. They are, quite frankly….. Duct tape

Is this not the product that has done most to ensure the survival of the species than any other

My car was engulfed in a cloud of smoke from underneath the bonnet this morning. A split radiator hose. Pull out the duct tape. Sorted!!

Oh…. and Worcestor sauce

Your nominations please………..

I was going to say duct tape.
If the answer is not duct tape then teh answer is beer – so I nominate beer. For all lifes problems – if duct tape can’t fix it beer can

but as a product someone invented I’d say duct-tape too, and it goes with sex nicely (if asked)

TJ I think you may have just come up with the very meaning of life itself

May I be the first one to say it… Bicycles!

Music… Without it we are but soulless…

Zip ties… Just like Duck Tape, is there anything that can’t be fixed with a ziptie?

A stout hammer is the Ying to duct tapes Yang. one cant exist without the other.

Scottish people to invent everything.

Taps, like water ones.

I was going to say duct tape.

By the way, it’s “Duck” Tape… It’s a brand just like Hoover is a brand of Vacuum Cleaner.

More commonly known as Gaffer/Gaffa tape.

Me.

A hammer or hitting implement.

Edit: beaten to it..

I read this once: –

“Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together…”

Brilliant 😀

Sausages……..(no pun or other context intended……..)

I thought it was Gaffer Tape as Duck Tape is a registered trademark a bit like Hoover.

Its duct as it was origionally used for sealing heating ducts.

Strong nuclear force.

BTW no-one knows if it’s duct or duck tape – but someone trademarked Duck Tape long after the stuff was invented. And gaffer tape is something else, invented for the film industry (where ‘gaffer’ is one of the jobs)

trailmonkey – I’d taken your last two words as read. I shall check the first, incoprporated in it, just to make sure. Foolishly – I didn’t presume there were serious regional differentials

duct tape, wd40 and a tarp.

If it moves and it shouldn’t : duct tape
it it doesn’t move and it should : wd40
anything else : put the tarp over it and sling it in the back garden

if duct tape can’t fix it beer can

That has just become my new favourite saying. Having just renovated (well it’s nearly all done) my house, I’ve used a lot of duct tape, and had to have a lot of refreshing beers at the end of a hard day.

binners, i am a connoisseur in this field. bohemian ladies ftw.

Duck Tape is a brand of duct tape. Far as I remember, it was invented for military use; other than retroactively it has nothing to do with ducts, riggers, liggers, gaffers, or ducks.

(actually, isn’t gaffer tape something else? It’s temporary duct tape designed not to leave a sticky mess)

(ah, sorry Molgrips, didn’t see your post re: gaffer tape. As you were.)

(though whilst I’m tangenting, I always thought they were maul grips…)

Decent 2nd hand bookshops.

I think mole grips is a brand name become a general name, often written as molgrips. They are either vice grips or self-grip pliers properly.

God.

Oh no, wait, I meant boobies.

PS. If you can’t fix it with duct tape, you’re not using enough.
