The tape itself is good; is a thick Teflon tape for sanitary purposes. However, the reel is just too large in diameter to hold tightly in one hand while you wrap the threads tightly in the holder you hold in the other hand. And I think the arm span is above average (long fingers; I'm a 6'2 guy). I will finish this tape but only for threads attached to fixed piping where I don't have one hand holding the attachment and the other holding the tape. Going forward I will stick with the more conventional smaller diameter reels.
