Aside from the usual electrical, duct and double sided tapes, I have found one particular 'tape' virtually invaluable, both at home and whilst travelling. It's called 'Wrap it" and can be found at Lowes and probably other similar hardware stores. It's a rubber tape which stretches as you wrap it and then adheres/molds to itself and shrinks, forming a strong, tight, leak-proof seal. It's great for pipe leaks on rubber or metal pipe and can withstand pressure up to 100 p.s.i. I've also used it as a grip wrap on a variety of tools and works much better than other tapes which leave a sticky residue. Cost about $4.00 for a small roll (about 4'0") but it stretches to over twice its own length during application.
