It is a great idea if it worked. Very disappointed in this dispenser and it is not what I really needed.

I purchases two of these about 2 months ago for our shipping dept. The tape is hard to get started you can't put the dispenser on a box and press down and roll the tape across the box you must use your fingers to get the tape started and then lay over box. I tried loosening the tension but that didn't help either. I will buy a different brand next time.

difficult to use

Tape sticks to metal of dispenser. Difficult to cut tape. Returned it.
The soft grip is nice but otherwise this was the most frustrating tool to work with. A dispenser seems like a pretty simple design so I figured how different can the store brand be? The tape sticks to the metal guide and the tape doesn't grab when being applied to the box. Do not get this dispenser - It caused so much frustration and the few dollars saved was lost in everything taking twice as long.
This is well worth it rather than those disposable rolls. I package items often and this makes sense. Handle grip is great and very comfortable and the price far outweighs its competitor.
