Another Good Use For Duct Tape FARM SHOP Handy Hints 32-1-34 A good friend of ours was paralyzed after falling from a ladder where he was balancing precariously to saw an overhanging branch from a tree next to his house.
So last summer when our old elm tree began to shed dead branches all over our roof, we knew we had to do some trimming. Instead of tying a chain saw to a pole, as some people have done, my husband fastened a small 20-in. bow saw to a 20-ft. long piece of pvc pipe, using duct tape. Being light, the bow saw and pipe were easy to maneuver, and the sharp little saw was quite capable of cutting through some pretty thick branches.
The amazing thing was how solidly the duct tape secured the bow saw to the pipe "handle". Even after heavy use, the bow saw was still securely fixed to the handle. The tape did not stretch nor give way.
