I&#8217;ve been using it (and other brands) on and off for a decade now and if there&#8217;s one thing I had to have and couldn&#8217;t live without, it&#8217;s this. I have a roll in my car, in my laptop bag, and virtually every else. I&#8217;ve repaired dozens of pipe leaks with it and have even used it when I badly cut my arm clearing brush miles from a hospital. <\/p>\n<p>Supposedly it can even be used as an emergency fan belt. I&#8217;ve never had to try it, but I can say it will patch a radiator hose and it even worked (for a little while) on the high-pressure side of my car&#8217;s air conditioner! There are lots of day-to-day uses for it as well. For my electronics work I use it to insulate the underside of the boards I&#8217;m soldering so they don&#8217;t short out, and it has no problem dealing with 750 F high temp soldering either. <\/p>\n<p>The best part is that it&#8217;s cheap enough that I even use it like shrink wrap, especially helpful if I manage to buy something that has a lot of long unruly pieces that need to be bound together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Silicone tape<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[1350,2307,2315,2328],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5313"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5313"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5313\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32939,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5313\/revisions\/32939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
