Review on UBOXES Brand Stretch Handle Gauge by Patrick Matin

Rotating handles help

What isn't clear from reading about this and similar industrial plastic packaging products is that the most important feature is handles that rotate easily when plastic is being wrapped (into my suitcase) Furniture I moved because of the renovation. I did my job, the material does what it's supposed to, good width but I bought handles (for lack of a better word) to attach to a cardboard tube extension in the middle so I could just quickly get around the one to be wrapped Item holding the roll on both sides would be much more efficient. I don't quite understand why the vendors didn't include handles; You can wrap something without handles, but it takes four times longer, and wrapping it too quickly can burn your hands from friction. After I was basically done, I put an old roll of shrink wrap from a kid's move many years ago back on a shelf in the basement - and it had exactly the handles I thought would help. . It turned out that they were easily transferred from the old role to the new one. I won't run into this problem again, but I strongly encourage anyone who purchases this product to beg, borrow, steal (or preferably buy from Revain!) a pair of reel grips. I haven't checked but Revain has everything else under the sun so they probably have these pens for sale.

Pros
  • Keep your unwrapped items clean and contamination free
Cons
  • unreliable
