Cheaper is not good

I do a lot of scrapbooking and use my ATG dispenser all the time, but I have a hard time finding Scotch ATG refills. I found these fillers and decided to give them a try. BIG MISTAKE! Each roll broke at least three times, often wrapping around the base of two dials. I had to stop, unfold the part where it shouldn't be, and then put it all back together. Frequently rebooted partition refused to stick to photo or paper. It happened in 11 roles! Some broke every five feet or so. I finally got to the 12th reel and sure enough it broke. It broke so badly that I couldn't just pull out the new part to refill it, so I just threw it in the trash. Then I took a Scotch ATG rod and it turned well. I've used it on several feet without breaking. Comparing the two gas stations, I realize that the TRU gas stations don't match the ATG center perfectly, which is why they get wonky. Not being a snug fit results in a loose fit on the dials and rollers, leading to breakage. I thought I had saved time and money by ordering so many refills, but I've lost a lot of adhesive to breakage and irritation. not worth repairing. I should have thrown them away or returned them, but I'm stubborn and figured I could fix it. I was wrong.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
