Really good but uh i think "ductape" is 2 words and a t at the end of duct and at the beginning of tape

I would violate the "be nice" policy right now to shout out your ignorance, however I will hold myself back from the risk of being banned.

I am going to, partially, violate this rule to call you out for being a fool and not Googling.

The term "duck tape" stems from the initial use of this tape, in the Navy, where it was called so due to its effective water repelling properties, much like a ducks feathers.

The term "duct tape" stems from its later commercial uses, where it was quite often used in venting and ducts, because it seals effectively.

It is considered acceptable to use either form, but quite idiotic to try and claim that one is more right than the other.

To others below me, there may well be a brand called "Duck Tape", but that is not where the name comes from.

kingdavecako in reply to nmcmahonMay 5, 2011. 8:04 PM

I'm aware that both terms are used synonymously, and each have their independent etymologies, however the product today has become universally known as "duct tape," whereas the term "duck tape" has been adapted as a trademarked brand. Ergo, one saying "it's really duck tape" would be as silly as saying that the copy machine is "really a Xerox."

(We can further confirm our friend's ignorance in the comment reply below.)

Think geek are selling Gaffer (duct) tape wallets for about $20 US. Much better idea

mason0190 in reply to that_guyJul 17, 2010. 8:33 AM

i went to this one place selling handmade duct tape wallets for $8!

teh darkcloud in reply to that_guyDec 28, 2007. 4:58 PM

The point of making duct tape wallets, though, is to -not- buy them. (Especially not for 20 bucks. D:) Also, Gaffer's tape isn't the same as duct tape.

Yanninator in reply to teh darkcloudMay 29, 2008. 1:46 PM

yeah. gaffer's tape isn't as strong i'm pretty sure

bowmaster in reply to YanninatorOct 4, 2008. 5:46 AM

Gaffer's tape is used to hold wiring for movies, stage plays, etc. and is designed to come off easily.

sbacon says: Sep 21, 2009. 12:06 PM

amakerguy says: Dec 26, 2008. 8:53 AM

How (or where) did you get the camo tape

SkiTzCoRe says: May 9, 2007. 9:31 AM

I actually have a "duct tape" wallet, it was bought for me a while back- however, whomever was the creater cheated >.< , and used silver vinyl to make it a bit more sturdy. I was planning on re-creating the wallet myself. This one is nice, but a bit too bunched up for my taste- you're right though... Seems quick and easy. Atleast you didn't cheat. Kudos. :P

tubbychick3n in reply to SkiTzCoReAug 21, 2008. 4:10 AM

yeah, i was just arguing with someone on another instructable on how paper reinforcing doesn't technically keep it a "duct tape wallet"

tubbychick3n says: Aug 21, 2008. 4:09 AM
