Even tough guys get boo-boos. Now they can fix their nicked knuckles with a new 3M bandage made of real duct tape and medical-grade adhesive.
Christine Pedginski, a 3M Co. marketing manager, said the company discovered that plumbers, carpenters and other workers routinely slapped duct tape on minor wounds.
The new bandage is about 20 percent longer than a standard model, the better to fit big hands and gnarly fingers. Despite its macho appeal, Pedginski said marketing tests showed that women liked it as much as men did.
Another very good reason for duct tape.
