I've been buying this tape for years and it used to be a great deal--plenty strong enough for the small packages I regularly used it for and significantly cheaper than the name-brand alternatives. But the last box nearly drove me right round the bend: on the standard hand-held dispensers I had always used now the end CONSTANTLY slipped from the side brackets and cutting edge back onto the roll (I sometimes could not get through a single package without it happening) and then was maddeningly reluctant to be peeled back free. I'm almost as annoyed with myself for putting up with it instead of returning it as I am with the product but by the time I got completely fed up I had used enough of it that it felt like too late so I'm sitting on unused rolls to be dragged out on a purely emergency basis if I run out of decent tape some day.
