Every one gets the occasional cuts and nicks, even the most manly of men. But if you want to preserve your tough guy image then check out 3M’s band aids that look just like duct tape. You’ll fool people into thinking you either used real duct tape, or that you aren’t hurt at all—just sporting a handy bit of duct tape while you are working on your current DIY project.
Using actual duct tape as band aid is not a very good idea as the tape is not sterile and the adhesive used will probably set off skin allergies. So this product is perfect for tough guys who get a box of 20 for $4.68.
