Duct tape is one of the most useful DIY tools on the planet, but it isn’t the most portable item. Redditor fkinglag shares a clever way to keep a bit of duct tape with you at all times: wrapped around an old gift card.
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. Redditor Saphiric notes that there’s a similar trick which doesn’t require a bottle:
