I like this tape dispenser because it's heavy and doesn't move around. I can use one hand to cut a piece of tape off the roll and don't have to play around with those plastic dispensers. My tape is not stuck down around the roll any more.
This is a great tape dispenser for every day continuous usage. Basically the children attending PreK classes in the school where I work are making projects all the time with paper cut-outs sticks beads pipe cleaners cotton balls foam cardboard bottle caps etc. The children need a tape dispenser on every table so that it is in easy and quick reach of every child. You'd be amazed how good quality tape and a little imagination can create. The teachers depend on the strong tape to post the artwork on bulletin boards too.
This is the second stapler we bought this month at Staples. The first one I already reviewed....it was very disappointing. This one is GREAT. Cuts tape well AND does not release the tape roll when you pull on it!!
The little round mechanism that holds the tape in place is an improvement over previously manufactured mechanisms in desktop tape dispensers providing more tape stability. I didn't know of the improvement when I chose this model to replace a tape dispenser that had cracked after falling to a tiled floor. It was a pleasant surprise. The weighted bottom and rubber padding of this model do a good job keeping the dispenser from moving around. I can whole-heatedly endorse this product.
