I got this back to the office and wasted several feet of tape because this is by far the cheapest piece of junk I have ever seen. The angle of the cutter in relationship with the plastic guide is so off that it simply shreds the tape rather than cut it off. I ended up pulling the roll of tape off and using scissors to cut it. It was a waste of Time Gas and Money.

Not As Good as I Expected

I am disappointed with this product as it does not work as well as a previous one I bought from Stapes some years ago. The mechanism itself has a flaw in it. The tape sticks to the bottom guide which is supposed to be a helper but that turns into a hindrance. The teeth are sharp and tear the tape well which is why a had to buy a new one. The old one was no longer tearing straight. I am also disappointed in the quality of the tape that came with the gun. I hope to use it up quickly and get some quality tape for it.

Needs Instructions!!!

Comes with no instructions on how or where to thread the tape! After several uses I finally figured it out but after each use the tape needs to be extended to stick to the metal platform below for the next use. Very annoying to say the least: this one doesn't work nearly as well as my old one!
First time buying one of these wish I had bought it sooner. The grip is comfortable and the dispenser is easy to setup. No issues and is holding up so far with medium use over the past few days.

Almost but not quite.

I like everything about this tape gun except the bottom metal attachment that keeps the excess tape from escaping. I wish the metal attachment flipped up and down instead of being stationary and poorly attached.
