Don't overthink!
on November 2, 2010

At first I couldn't figure this out either but then I realized it was too simple... You don't load the tape through anything as it appears. Simply put the tape on sticky side down. It runs under the roller. I have no problems using just one hand to do this. You just have to twist your hand a bit when you are ready to cut it. (rather than trying to go straight down in which you use extra tape as someone else mentioned) Although I had some of the earlier mentioned issues at first once I figured it out it's so easy. Hope that helps. I think the clear plastic piece just acts as a guard. Could do without it but I'm sure it's requried for safety.

It works fine

It doesn't come with instructions which is bad but it makes you think which is good...or do some research read the reviews. Slide the tape under the black roller piece sticky part down and that's it. Easy to use with one hand.

We ordered this product for our office. This is a heavy duty dispenser is way better than the cheaper plastic models. Well worth the little extra you pay for much better quality. I would highly recommend for everyday/business use.

Works fine But There's a Bit of a Learning Curve

I've never used a tape gun before so I don't know how to compare this. I found it a bit cumbersome to learn how to use. But it's getting better and I really like the wide tape that is much better than what I was using before.

Tape Dispenser Does Not Work
on July 13, 2008

Tape dispenser is very hard to use. Tape does not glide easily over surface. Tape gets twisted when trying to cut it. Resorted to using a cheaper brand. Would like to return tape dispenser.
