100 percent failure rate in less then ten years according to a Caltech study. The study was on the old school duck tape, not the newer engineer tape specifically designed for ducting.

and her compulsivity triggers mine. lol

She also made really pretty little Christmas trees out of frayed rope and wire. If we get hit by a nuclear bomb, I want to be where she is.

nobody bales with it anymore - they all use that other-wise completely useless plastic baling twine. I hate it.

almost $100 by the way, lasts about 2 years.
