Really!
I haven't ever used Gorilla tape, just checked it out. Definitely going on the list.
I discovered silicon Rescue tape a few years ago and always have a few rolls around.

Thanks for your input, it's much appreciated.

Although I've never spent the money on it, I've admired Festools line of Systainers The lineup provides really efficient storage.

Is a folding ladder a tool?
Is a smoker or grill or coleman stove a tool?
Is a lantern a tool?
Are extension cords and power strips tools?
