Use an Old Gift Card to Keep a Bit of Duct Tape With You at All Times




Whitson Gordon View ProfileEmailFacebookTwitterAIMGoogle PlusRSSDuct tape is one of the most useful DIY tools on the planet, but it isn't the most portable one. Redditor fkinglag shares a clever way to keep a bit of duct tape with you at all times.

You've probably seen people walking around with duct tape around their water bottles, and it isn't because their water bottles are broken—that's an old trick for keeping a few feet of duct tape nearby for healing blisters and warts, making a floating compass, or performing other survival tricks. However, Redditor Saphiric notes that there's a similar trick for us non-campers:

Wrap a few feet of duct tape around an old credit card and put it in your wallet. You'll always have some if you need it.

It might add a bit more thickness to your wallet, but it'll sure come in handy if you need to clear a clogged drain, improve your posture, remove a stuck light bulb, and more.
