I bought this for a move and have been very happy with the quality and durability. I've used it on something like 50 boxes and it is still working very well and reliably. It is easy to change out the roles and very easy to apply tape to a lot of boxes without the tape getting stuck back to the role or having difficulty cutting the tape. The foam grip is nice as well makes it easier and more comfortable to hold.
The grip was great but the loading of the tape was cumberson. Ended up using a knife to cut the tape instead of the device. Some packaging instructions would have been appreciated.
I'm not sure why it's so difficult to make an easy to use functional tape dispenser but it certainly seems difficult based on how bad most of them are. And this one is no different from the rest. We package a few boxes a week most of them smaller boxes and I invariably have to use what seems like half a roll of tape since this thing doesn't want to cut the tape when I need it cut. It seems like it might just be easier to buy the tape get a pair of scissors and just go old school and get my boxes put together that way. This dispenser is no worse than any other I've used which makes it a product I absolutely regret buying.
I love this product! I am in the process of moving and this tape dispenser has been a life saver. It is so easy to use and has made putting together 100's of boxes quite easy! I loved it so much I bought one for my mom who is moving too.
If you use a lot of thick tape or shipping and packaging you should use a heavy duty tape dispenser like this one. This one is capable of holding Staple's largest tape rolls. The light plastc dispensers are not able to use the largest tape rolls. I used to use the red plastc rolls to save money. However I needed to hold the larger tape rolls so I bought this. The dispenser makes taping up boxes much easier. You can use one hand easily to tape things up. The grip is soft so it is not difficult to hold. For heavy duty jobs this tape dispenser is recommended.
This tape dispenser is improved upon the other designs. With a padded and comfortable handle it causes less stress and discomfort to the hand. The tape itself is is much the same as other dispensers. it will still slide off the guide and get tangled as with many other dispensers of this type. But all in all it is an improvement on other designs. The Staples tape is acceptable. It could use a bit more stickability though. The strength of the tape is very good though and does not break like many other tapes that are not "marked heavy duty". I would most definitely recommend this dispenser as it does a much better job over may others on the market.
