You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

Oy, you nicked that from my sig! Or did I nick it from you? Or did we both nick it from the same place?

He probably nicked it from you. Those infesting the Great Satan
invariably refer to it as 'duck tape'.

So do I (in the UK), it's a brand name used in everyday conversation, in the same way as I Hoover up, not vacuum.

It's 'duct' tape not 'duck' tape: a linguistic error.

No, as with a Hoover, it's use of the most popular brand name for the item.

No, it's not a brand name turned into a generic name. A duct is not a
duck.

Duck tape is for ducts. They used a similar word so they could trademark it, it's not that hard to understand. Like Weetabix for Wheat biscuits.

It's still not a brand name turned into a generic name. If anything,
it's the other way round, thanks to lazy pronunciation. It's not that
hard to understand.

In fact, this has become the leading brand of duct tape:

I call them postit notes too, although that's copyrighted by the 3M company, and I buy them elsewhere at 10% of the price.

Irrelevant analogy.

It's precisely relevant. It's using a brand name in place of the name of the thing.

Again, a duck is not a duct.

Stop repeating yourself like Rod Speed.

Stop writing stupid ****.
