No replacement blades available
on December 28, 2024
Posted by: Mermoi
Great tape dispenser! It’s not too big but it’s heavy enough to work one-handed. The problem is, the blades get out of alignment or worn out over time, and you can’t replace them. I’d like to fix something this minor instead of throwing the whole dispenser into a landfill and buying another one so it’s disappointing 3M doesn’t support that.

No replacement blade—so wasteful!
on January 21, 2024
Posted by: Lewis41
I’ve used these for years and see them all over the place in schools as the classic tape dispenser. I was SHOCKED to find out there are no replacement blades. I know they are cheap but this is so wasteful! Scotch should be embarrassed at how environmentally unfriendly these products are. In fact, I’d be willing to pay as much for a blade as I did the product knowing I was not wasting an entire dispenser every time I need a new blade. Won’t be purchasing any more of these. I’ll encourage my school district to do the same.

Replacement blade.

So disappointed that they do not have a replacement blade available. For a very busy medical office who uses these quite frequently the blade gets dull and all I need is a new sharp blade but can't get one. You have to buy a whole new dispenser which is a huge waste when it's not old. If I have to buy a new dispenser I will definately make sure replacement blades are available first.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Dispenser - No Replacement Blade

This is a wonderful dispenser, as are all Scotch's tape dispensers. However, they do not make a replacement blade insert for these models. So if this is something you'll use a lot as a teacher or librarian, don't bother! If it is for home use go ahead and grab one.

Great item

I have worked for the state 24 yrs. this is the only tape dispenser I have ever used in that time. Fancy new gadgets have come along, but without hesitation I will use no other tape dispenser. It never wobbles, moves when I need a snip of tape and has nvr broken in all these yrs. I use it approx 4-5x a day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

SAVE YOUR MONEY

I recently purchased two of these dispensers, one for the office and one for home. They look great and were reasonably priced. I was so anxious to put them into service, I even broke open hand held dispensers to get the tape rolls for my new desktop models. Big Mistake. First of all they do not weigh enough to resist the effort required to cut the tape. Secondly the cutting blade is either recessed too far or just is not sharp enough to get the job done! Why has Scotch made these changes in what used to be a wonderful product? Are they afraid we will cut ourselves, or drop it and bruise a toe? Did their lawyers make them do it?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this tape dispenser for many years and expect it to last for many more. It is great to be able to use one hand to pull out the amount of tape you need and easily cut it off where you want it. Would definitely recommend this product.
