Tape dispense

I couldn't get the tape to start rolling on it's own as it kept sticking to the metal guide bar. The serrated tear off "worked" but it wasn't the smoothest of operations. I am considering returning the device. I had a 3M dispenser which I lost which was a lot smoother and was better balanced than the Staples brand. I don't think the padded handle would wear well especially when packing lots of boxes where the dispenser would be dropped and kicked around. Again the 3M handle was heavy plastic and withstood heavy use without any signs of wear.

Total Piece of garbage!

Had a move to get through and figured I'd pick up this tape gun to make life easier. Boy was this thing a TOTAL waste of money. The tape CONSTANTLY gets stuck on the tensioning arm which stops it from dispensing. When it doesn't get stuck to the tensioning arm it bounces back onto the roll backwards. Both of these situations are annoying and stops you from using the dispenser until you clear it. Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage!
As usual when packaging and shipping I do NOT HAVE proper supplies and my friendly and professional Atasha(?) suggested the tape dispenser. She's wonderful!
