Customer Reviews

In Defense of Duct Tape!

I have just finished rereading this book for the third time, and I still laugh until my sides hurt! I thoroughly enjoy the offbeat ("wacky and tacky") humor of Jim and Tim, the Duct Tape Guys, and value their "practical advice" on how duct tape can solve so many problems! I am not sure why some reviewers thought this book was supposed to be a serious how-to manual for duct tape. The idea that there could be such a thing is kind of funny in and of itself. I guess I will have to reread it with a more studious perspective. Could I really eliminate my dog's fleas with duct tape? Hmmm. No pesticides would be a plus. No, you probably don't want to pack this book if you are going to be marooned on a desert island (although you might really value a good laugh!). Nor do I recommend it as the text for an army survivalist training course. But if you would enjoy a great little book that can make you laugh time and again, this is your book. I am planning to give this book to several of my relatives for Christmas. I am confident that they will laugh as much as I have!

Don't duck the duct tape

The Duct Tape book was a big hit at Christmas. We gave it as a gift to a close friend who is a builder. He perused it all day.

The Jumbo Book of Duct Tape

I love the humor with which this book was written. The book shows "real" ways to fix things, and it shows how to make simple items with DUCT TAPE. It also has a few silly ideas for fun. I gave this book, along with a roll of DUCT TAPE, to a friend for his birthday. (Well, you wouldn't give a toy without a battery! lol)

Funny

The perfect gift for anyone you eiether has a sense of humor or likes to use duct tape. Many of the ideas stated in this book are useful, while others are funny, but not useful. Highly recommended

Bible-Schmible! This is THE book to own!

Bible-Schmible! This is THE book to own!As a 64 year old retired plumber, I'm not one to often admit my feelings. But in this case, I will make an exception- The Jumbo Duct Tape Book made me cry. Tears of relief, tears of joy, tears of longing. I've fixed quite a few things in my time, and I've probably used more than my fair share of duct tape. (...)Among the many useful tricks you will learn in your new Bible are:-Duct Tape Clothing: High fashion on a $2.45 budget-Duct Tape Jewelery: Functions just as well as the real stuff, and screams "I'm practical and down-to-earth"-Duct Tape AIBO Robotic Dog: Just cover a normal dog in duct tape, and voila! The kids will never know the difference!And, of course, the awe-inspiring "Duct-Tape Mansion".Buy this book! Buy this book! Buy this book!You will not be disappointed, and if you are, Jim Berg will hit you on the head with a duct tape club until you change your mind!
