Review on Convenient Handheld Warehouse Dispenser: Easy Mount Packaging Solution by Ian Iknokinok

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect just one problem to solve

I'm ready to buy another one but after writing my own review I might be looking for more. I pack quite a bit because my entire business is online. I've packed thousands of boxes over the years. I'm so fed up with the tape sticking to itself and then having to spend a few turns trying to peel it off. This is wasteful and time consuming. I knew there had to be a better tape dispenser that would solve this problem, so I set out to find it. Now I don't buy the super thick, most expensive tape or "Easy Start" tape. I buy thinner packing tape and it REALLY doesn't stick to itself very well. After re-sticking it to myself, for example, I can only peel off a side corner of the tape, and then I have to unfold it as there is at least one full turn breaks along itself to get back to where it's full width, peels off again. CONS: This tape dispenser has a small wheel that prevents the tape from sticking directly back to the tape roll. However, the tape sometimes gets stuck around the little wheel and THEN back onto itself, and it's almost worse. Because the wheel is such a small diameter and hidden under the "hood" just below the cutter teeth, it's almost impossible to remove. The tape is wrapped tightly around the wheel and then taped back onto itself and the only way to peel it off is to take something like a utility knife and cut it off the wheel and then peel it off or try to rip the Page that normally doesn't work. He's just too "stuck". While this is a HUGE improvement over the red dispensers that come with rolls of tape, it's still not perfect. But if you're using "Easy Start" tape or very thick packing tape, you may not have the problem I'm having.
