Its either for abducting people, or just fixing stuff.

But there is no hammer, so I go for bbducting people.

Saying it's "for abducting people" is like saying a computer is "for looking at images". Yes, it does that job, but so much more ;-)

>abducting

Funny the Duct Tape could be used to tie someone up and the WD40 could be used to get out of  the tape bonds -- the product creates it's own need.

I must have an American approach to home improvement.

Hadn't seen the flow chart before though - nice.

There is a duct tape sold here called "Gorilla Tape"  it is like black rubberized canvas with thick, gooey adhesive.   Incredible stuff. Highly recommended.

In the UK, the engineers tool box traditionally  holds a hammer and a condom.

Well, the chances are good that it's either stuck or loose. WD40 helps with the one. Duct tape with the other.

[edit]Now I see RC's chart. I guess in this case two pictures plus nine words and some arrows is worth 19 words ;-)[/edit]
