Spent half my life in hardware stores and never heard of it.....I Googled it....they even have a waterproof version.

My husband says the tinners at work say, "We need to get some 100MPH duct tape"....it WAS a joke...until they actually came out with it....he says.

My husband also travels with a roll in his suitcase. He says you never know when you could use some.🤔😳

Temporary luggage repair, shoe repair, hem repair? I’m not sure.

I hear that the Ukranian army is expert in the innovative use of duct tape. (Lecture Tuesday by NU foreign affairs expert). Do you suppose the US could send them supplies of this without it getting bogged down in Congress?

An old, dear friend used to carry a roll on our ski trips. He actually used it a few times when someone’s boots cracked, bindings broke, or something went wrong. It got a few people down safely off the slopes on numerous occasions. This was back in the 70’s and 80’s when people didn’t buy new boots and skis every couple of years.

It also works great on a down filled jacket that gets a snag or tear. It keeps the innards in until repair or replacement.

I don't use it much.

A friend of mine got involved with car racing. The class he was in was Formula Ford - the cars looked like mini Indy 500 cars. Cars were all custom made. When his builder asked him what color to paint the shell, he said "Choose a silver color that will match duct tape, I'll be using that to repair bumps and other damage on it".

On my morning walk early today at the golf course I found a club head cover that fell off someone’s club. It was ripped and repaired with 100mph tape. Obviously didn’t work well for that purpose. 😁

I love the stuff! Uses abound for me...

I have screens that rattle in the wind. Tiny little strips of color-matched duct tape, no more rattling in the wind.

I have a ductless minisplit for a sunroom, and small pieces of tubing were exposed between channels. It was degrading from the sun and not easily fixed in any other way...again, color-matched duct tape to the rescue.

I also use it for packing tape if I'm shipping a box, as it seems more secure than regular tape. I've used it to reinforce seams and corners in boxes that are multiple use - my holiday decorations box is heavy and some nice duct tape fixed it right up. :-)

Never heard of it referred to as 100 mph tape. I’ve always got it on hand as it’s so versatile. Temporary repairs, packaging, impromptu bandages, you name it.

In Alaska, it is called 100 mph tape. The bush pilots use it as a temporary repair for rips in the shell of their airplanes. Hence the name 100 mph tape.

I had a friend who used to say, "Everything can be fixed with either WD-40 or duct tape."

Judipudi -- I wonder if there's a medical equvalent for that.

I'm not sure we have any, but we do have packing tape, masking tape, and some alien tape that I have not used yet, although I do have some plans for that.

I don't like repairing things with tape, but I used to use packing tape when I was building cardboard models of furniture.

“If it moves and it shouldn’t, duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should, WD-40.”

My son’s karate gi pants were too long and we didn’t think to check before class. So I duct taped them. The tape stayed for a good year or more, survived boy sweat and washing machine. When he was tall enough we took the tape off, but getting the residue off was an ordeal.

Back packers best friend to keep those boot soles on, mend tents and tarps and so on.

It is odd that the one thing it is not any good for is sealing heat ducts. Heat makes it peel off. You need metal tape for that. Now that is useful stuff as well.
