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!

[@listentocky1]

Nonsense..there will always be those who think and those thinks become something from nothing

[@nancycowell-miller4321]

Awesome story! I had NO idea about the history of duct tape (but it's definitely my "Go-To" in many quick-repair situations!)

[@wolfgamiing89]

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” 😂

[@garybarnes4169]

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.

[@sagepran1730]

As the saying goes “When all else fails… use duct tape”

[@garybarnes4169]

Duct Tape is like The Force in Star Wars. It has a dark side and a light side, and it holds the universe together.

[@j1st633]

The $64,000 question is whether the inventor of duct tape received royalties?

[@carstenhansen5757]

Yeah, I was wondering the same.

[@hhfggvogtthehy6451]

Imagine spending your entire life building,designing, and finally launching your rocket your entire life….. and it was saved by duct type.

[@oldschoolguy80s]

Great content! I never miss your videos. Thank you!👍

[@SevenDeMagnus]

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.

[@elitster]

Awesome

[@sunnyrlc4411]

Always great videos! I am hooked!❤

[@dreamssetter]

But did she get paid 👀

[@fiorella3853]

Hi i love your vids hooked

[@aguyontheinternet3781]

I can already hear Phil introducing flex tape.

[@nouseforaname5378]

Nashua 557 (UL) is hands down the best duct tape on the planet. There is no comparison

[@iLoveBoysandBerries]

nope

[@stevehartman1730]

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.

[@simonrichert1886]

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...

[@bigfoothunter8080]

Such an underrated video how does it only have 4k views...

[@divindave6117]

Give me some duck tape and a hammer and I can fix anything!

[@simonrichert1886]

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! 👍

[@Cadiangrunt99]

RED GREEN! SHOW! YESS!

[@southernflatland]

I am a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess... Quando omni flunkus, moritati!

[@MSDG62]

You forgot about MacGyver!

[@simonrichert1886]

Exactly. He is the man when it comes to duct tape!

[@jburron]

Fun fact: duct tape should not be used in ducts, as it melts. Best to use silver tape.

[@cruz6168]

Nice tape

[@mikeskupniewitz8057]

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!

[@somerandomfella]

Respect to the humble Duck Tape.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Duck tape solve a crack with its quack

[@giuliobros.123]

Hi!!!!

[@skulkingshadow]

Convinced this might be able to fix my country...

[@Sajid009]

Duck tape

[@1Chronicles2]

1st I’m a huge fan can you pin me?

[@RyanHull76]

There's a reason we called it 100 MPH tape! LOL

[@simonrichert1886]

😂 Duct tape/100mph tape is the best. Without it the universe would fall apart, literally...

[@southernflatland]

Quack! 🦆

[@drekelley2352]
