While the mother certainly deserves all the praise, it's also important to remember that, of all the people, a US president not only carefully read her letter but also gave his approval to one of history's greatest inventions!! It's truly astonishing! You won't find anything like this in today's age!
Nonsense..there will always be those who think and those thinks become something from nothing
The $64,000 question is whether the inventor of duct tape received royalties?
Yeah, I was wondering the same.
As the saying goes “When all else fails… use duct tape”
Imagine spending your entire life building,designing, and finally launching your rocket your entire life….. and it was saved by duct type.
I work in construction and the amount of times duct tape has pulled us out of trouble I couldn’t even count! And every time it does we always say “there’s nothing duct tape can’t fix” 😂
Awesome story! I had NO idea about the history of duct tape (but it's definitely my "Go-To" in many quick-repair situations!)
04:47 "Rigger's tape" - Gaffer tape is named for a similar reason, it is a similar material, but less adhesive, and usually matte rather than glossy.
Duct Tape is like The Force in Star Wars. It has a dark side and a light side, and it holds the universe together.
Great content! I never miss your videos. Thank you!👍
But did she get paid 👀
Always great videos! I am hooked!❤
I love gaff tape or gaffer's tape coz' it doesn't leave residues like painter's tape but is strong like duct tape coz' it too has cloth. God bless.
I can already hear Phil introducing flex tape.
Awesome
Such an underrated video how does it only have 4k views...
Nashua 557 (UL) is hands down the best duct tape on the planet. There is no comparison
nope
Fun fact: duct tape should not be used in ducts, as it melts. Best to use silver tape.
Hi i love your vids hooked
The original duck tape was so strong it'd pull uour skin off but now its so watered down the only way u can get ot to stick is put a thumb tack thru it.
Definitely agree buddy. You have to shop around these days. There are brands out there that are more adhesive/effective but they are few and far between. And of course, like everything, cost more...
RED GREEN! SHOW! YESS!
I am a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess... Quando omni flunkus, moritati!
You forgot about MacGyver!
Exactly. He is the man when it comes to duct tape!
Respect to the humble Duck Tape.
Duck tape solve a crack with its quack
Nice tape
you forgot to mention covering fabric airplane wings to get them back home..... after wing is wrecked... many a wing I repaired with many tools of it!
Convinced this might be able to fix my country...
Give me some duck tape and a hammer and I can fix anything!
I like your style buddy, I am just the same. I am such a nerd I have the standard size duct tape, three inch wide tape and seven inch wide tape. All bases covered! 👍
There's a reason we called it 100 MPH tape! LOL
😂 Duct tape/100mph tape is the best. Without it the universe would fall apart, literally...
