Not as good as my previous one. I love this band for the same reasons others have mentioned, 1" blade and light weight. However, over the course of a month the last 20cm of the blade has buckled slightly so the end is warped and difficult to get anywhere I didn't abuse it. My last cartridge of this model dragged on for years. This one is a month. I'm disappointed because I liked my previous cartridge. I noticed that the blade armor is only 3" long and the listing 6" says. I read in a review from someone that they had 8" dents in the tape from 3" to 8" from the tip. I'm trying a few other 16' tapes to see if I get a good one again find.
