Interesting. Saving you from using two hands might actually be a safety improvement.

This reminded me of the Cole-Bar project on Kickstarter. It's essentially a crowbar/hammer combo. I sponsored it a while back; still really curious if it turns out to be useful, or gimmicky, or I if even end up getting one in hand.

I hadn't heard of Scotch Extreme tape. Thanks, added it to my Amazon wishlist.

It's a very handy product. It can pretty much stick any 2 objects together and has a cure period of 24 hours if I remember correctly. The side of the stapler was irregular so I used layers of the adhesive to fill any voids to maximize contact. So far, it has performed well from +30 to -30 Celsius temps here in Calgary.

Very interesting stuff - and new to me, too! How would you assess its ability to seal a small leak in an automotive heater hose vs. silicone tape?

Specs say max 100F for the tape. I would never use this product as a permanent fix anywhere near hot engine components.
