[00:12.03]The Duct Tape

[00:14.00]Among the contents of

[00:16.62]the toolboxes of most people

[00:18.92]in the western world

[00:20.23]you would expect to find

[00:21.76]a hammer and nails, a drill,

[00:24.17]screwdrivers and some screws.

[00:26.47]But if you were to

[00:28.88]ask people from North America

[00:30.41]what the most useful item

[00:31.83]in their toolboxes was,

[00:33.58]the majority of people would 

[00:35.88]undoubtedly tell you that

[00:37.51]it was duct tape.

[00:39.05]Indeed, it has become

[00:41.02]an indispensable addition

[00:42.66]to every person's perception

[00:44.63]of what constitutes necessity.

[00:47.03]Maybe you have never

[00:50.10]heard of duct tape.

[00:51.63]It is the brand

[00:53.16]name of a tape.

[00:54.36]Not only is it a tape,

[00:56.35]but also it is

[00:58.08]a special kind of tape.

[01:00.05]The name of the tape

[01:02.02]comes from the fact that

[01:03.45]it was designed as

[01:04.54]an insulating tape that

[01:06.07]can be used in duct work

[01:07.82](channels or conduits that

[01:09.90]are used for heat to travel

[01:12.09]through to get to

[01:13.51]different areas of a building). 

[01:15.04]Incredible though it seems,

[01:17.89]someone actually put a picture

[01:19.20]of a duck on the  packaging

[01:20.95]of the tape from one manufacturer

[01:23.03]perhaps just as a joke

[01:25.33]or maybe because the design

[01:26.86]artist did not understand

[01:28.83]the origin of the name.

[01:30.79]Neither the word duck

[01:32.77]nor duct was on the label. 

[01:35.06]Presumably, it was assumed

[01:37.36]that everyone could identify the product.

[01:39.77]You can recognize the genuine tape

[01:43.27]because of its silver grey colour.

[01:46.22]The colour was likely chosen

[01:48.52]because it closely resembles

[01:50.60]the colour of the pipes

[01:52.46]it would be used on.

[01:53.99]That was the primary

[01:55.63]intended use of the tape.

[01:57.06]It was unlikely that

[01:59.02]the inventor realized how many

[02:01.10]other uses could be

[02:03.18]found for this product
