Pros & Cons
Pros
The scotch heavy duty * grip dispenser is an effective tool for sealing up boxes and various packaging. The familiar brown parcel tape quickly adheres to the box, package, paperwork, and stickily stays there. This is a very useful item for anyone who ... Read More
This is a good lightweight design so not to heavy for me to use. The device itself feels well made, the blade is sharp, and the tape itself seems strong. It's sturdy, will no doubt last for ages - it seems clog-resistant, too.
This heavy duty parcel tape roller is brilliant. Comes with 2 rolls of tape and the tape 'gun' these are the regular sized packing tape so you can just replenish the rolls as needed.
The tape is' low noise', in that happily it doesn't shriek raucously each time you pull it through.
Hand grip is comfortable and i have had no snagging. Handle is nice to hold and it's got a good heft. All in all, a really good tape dispensing gun.
Cons
It just wraps around the roller, sticking the tape to itself and wasting it. Not worth the frustration. I am big fan of 3m products but this is more like a hit and miss gamble.

Highlights
Quality
Easy to use, we are very pleased.
The actual dispenser is solid and feels a decent weight in hand, it is easy to load with the tape and has a keen cutting blade.
You get 2 reels of tape with the item.
This has nothing to do with the dispenser and everything to do with the adhesive used.
Packaging/appearance
I do a lot of packaging for parcels etc and ever since i bought these, i've never bought or used any other one.
Easy to load and tapes and cuts with ease meaning i save time, hassle and effort in securely packaging boxes.
Replacement packs of 6 can be purchased on amazon ( scotch kt000032724 packaging tape, 50 mm x 66 m - clear, 6 rolls ).
Just watch your hands for the teeth on the dispenser when you are using it.
Competitiveness
Much better than some of the cheaper tape
Don't be tempted to buy cheaper models, theyjust break.
Although pricier than other dispensers, it was worth paying for the scotch brand.

Bought this because cheap stuff did not stick well enough to cardboard boxes.

If you scroll through tape dispensers on amazon, they all look like the same patented design.

The last one we tried was appalling.

The tape stuck to the dispenser itself.

You had to hold it while you rolled it out.

And when you tried to tear it, chances were you’d ping the roll off and have to spool back half a meter of tape.

We could work out if it was the dispenser or the tape that made the difference in the end, but with 50 boxes to wrap, we didn’t care.

For the sake of your sanity, spend a little extra.
