A Man's Toolbox Need Only Contain...

I fixed my young nephew's foam helicopter with Gorilla Glue, which foamed and filled the gaps as well as sticking the pieces together.

He asked what Gorilla Glue was.

I said, "You know how duct tape holds the whole world together? Well, Gorilla Glue plugs the gaps."

Between duct tape, Gorilla Glue and my Leatherman I've got 90% of all household incidents covered.

Then there's the epoxy and the rotary tool to cover almost all of the rest.

What's the most useful stuff in your arsenal?

I like J B Weld. I saved a lot of things deemed unsavable with that stuff.

WD-40 is usually on the same list as Duct Tape.

"WD-40 is usually on the same list as Duct Tape."

Yep, and baling wire/wire coat hangers and zip-ties. JB Weld is great stuff.

Just had a female friend (yes, female) say this earlier today, "You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should...use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn’t...use the tape."

How fitting for this thread. lol

I say, "Give me enough duct tape and I can prevent that." big grin smiley

Don't forget a good pair of needle nose pliers/cutters. Good for soooo many things.

hemostats are a good thing also to have in the tool bag/box along with a good rubber mallet *(:>*

I keep it in the top drawer of my top box. I have used it to fill holes in engines and then re-tap them. It is miracle putty.
