Don’t use transparent tape for wrapping

I’ve decided y’all don’t actually want me to leave this review because it keeps freezing up as soon as I get done with this part I can never get through. The one star is only for the transparent tape. Do not use it to wrap presents. The tape is too thick for what they give you to tear with. You cannot hold the paper up with one hand in your finger through the hole and rip. You need to have one hand on the tape and the other hand, ripping it which makes wrapping presence extremely difficult and takes so much longer. I can hardly bend my finger today without pain from the huge gas. I got from the tape. I had to use so much force to try and tear it. The tape either dug into my finger or it would tear with so much force. The tape would flip up and attach to my finger every once in a while it would tear normally though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this for wrapping presents and it worked super well! Easier to open, and easy to use. Even when we tried opening the presents it didn’t rip so super durable is a plus!
I purchased this today, and upon the first time opening it and loading with a tape roll, a shard of metal went into my finger. I had to use tweezers to get it out as it was tiny. I wanted to like it, as it is low profile and metal as opposed to the plastic dispensers that always break. I also noticed that there is no guard or anything on the cutting edge so will need to keep it in a safe location, as opposed to the usual drawer I have it in.
I got this product to make a map of a world I was building. Purchasing this due to its supposed use for labeling and art, I expected this to take ink from art pens and markers. THIS NOT WHAT YOU GET. I tried multiple kinds of ink but the only ones I was able to get to work was sharpie and your everyday pens. If all your wanting to do is put this on containers as labels, this might work. But for any art project look elsewhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tape for labeling things in my office! Ever tried writing on tape? Not easy and wipes off! But this stuff is the opposite! It's white and giddy so it sticks and stays perfectly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape works great with marker and pencil, but pen doesn’t write very well on it. It holds quite well and doesn’t seem to come off easily when it isn’t meant to. All in all I’d reccommend it for labelling especially for using to label frozen foods/lunch box items.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch tape came up with a great solution to get rid of those wimpy plastic dispensers and help the environment at the same time. Plus is tape dispenser it’s aesthetically pleasing, I love the plaid design. Scotch doesn’t let down on the quality of this tape either with its 66% plant based tape. I was pleased with the tape adhesion and strength, it feels quite strong. I can’t say a bad word, simply put it’s just an excellent addition to all your tape needs.
