DO NOT BUY THIS CHARACTER!

The tape DOES NOT stick. Bought while waiting to be painted in a room in our house and have kept in a closet since September 2020. Finally managed to open it up for use in late January 2021 and the tape isn't even sticking to the walls or baseboard! I start putting her down, and before I reach the end of the wall, she's already climbing back up to where I started. I'm not sure if this is a real 3M tape. I think it might be a cheap 3M branded clone because I've never had a 3M tape that would doโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sticks the tape in one continuous strip
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Essential for my needs

I highlighted the corners of the ceiling with a light color and this device helped me a lot. I made a 1.5" spacer out of wood (and felt it slides better) and I run the tape applicator pushing the spacer. It works great. I would give 5 stars if they wrapped the roll of tape in plastic. What was that? Are you saving on plastic? It is difficult to grasp the applicator without accidentally squeezing the roll of tape and preventing it from flowing. Getting started is also a bit fiddly. I'm usingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Round handle comfortable to hold
Cons
  • High price

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

So. I hate the whole painting process. However, having recently bought a new home, I still have many months of painting ahead of me, so I am constantly on the lookout for equipment that can make this horrible process easier. The ScotchBlue Painter's Tape Applicator did just that! I really had my doubts that this would change the application process that much, but it did! It has been designed so that when you wrap the tape around the surface you can easily get to the very edge. It's hard toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Plastic rollers fix the tape perfectly
Cons
  • I don't remember

I have decided to use this tape but am having trouble starting it. When it finally started to peel off the roll, it was twice as thick - two layers of tape stuck together. I've only had this experience with tapes that are years old and starting to deteriorate. About 6 inches of tape came off the roll and "then broke". There is a very thin cutting line, like an existential blade. Every time I try to remove the tape to use it is already cut at that point on the roll. Apparently it was some kindโ€ฆ

Pros
  • For use on trim, baseboards, window and door frames
Cons
  • Small items
