I believe the merits of duct tape should be shouted from the mountaintops. The longer I live the more uses I find for this invaluable resource.

Here is a list of my favorite few.

• Securing computer cables.
• It is great for splicing wires because it is wider and more sturdy than black electrical tape.
• Emergency luggage patch.
• Repairing and marking your guitar case.
• Hide a key under your fender.
• Emergency hose repair.
• Holding the batteries in your remote control.
• Tape an extra desk key under your desk.
• Remove those long ear hairs the come with middle age (ouch!).

Extra bonus. Add a few years to that favorite book by re-enforcing the ragged binding.

What are your favorite uses?
