PET tape is a very useful thing and is finding more and more new applications in the household. Wrap the handles with PET tape hammers and axes to protect them from chips and dents. Over the years, with pliers, nippers, and other tools, the protective handles fall apart. The wrapping of such tools with a PET tape will be more durable, so the material is more resistant to low temperatures and ultraviolet.
When heated, the PET tape is compacted and shortened. Using this property, it is easy to make a detachable connection of almost any part. This connection is very durable. Even without half the parts, the goats made of poles and plastic tape can withstand the dynamic weight loads of an adult.

You can also use the tape as a temporary clamp. The loop of such a tape can withstand heavy loads, will not move anywhere and will not slip. Moreover, she is not sorry.
You can tie reinforcement for the foundation with such a tape.
