useless

I've owned this for a few years and rarely did this gadget work right. Usually it is difficult to engage the blade so dispenses way too much tape; the gets tangled; and makes tape stick to itself. I was hoping to find instructions on the internet but instead found this review page where others have had the same experience so maybe there really are issues with this gadget and not with this consumer. There should at least be arrow instructions on this thing but there are not. It's a frustrating tool.

Don't buy

I finally threw this tape gun away and replaced with one I purchased elsewhere. The tape would not cut properly on the cutting blade. I think the blade is to far back. It was very difficult to set the tension correctly. I use 3 tape guns 1 for USPS Priority Mail tape 1 for Express Mail tape and 1 for clear tape. I had intended to buy 2 more but did not.

Don't Waste Your Money

This product was complicated from the time I took it out of the box to try and load the tape not the go to tape dispenser. It's the junk dispenser that you throw out because the cost to send it back is too much!

Too bad they can't make these things in a way that tape stays untangled if you don't use exactly straight or to prevent the tape from sticking to the dispenser. It is a lot easier to use with thick tape but good enough for less expensive thinner tape

This is a quality tool at an affordable price. A real value. Indispensable for packaging and shipping.
