Cons:

  • "Had to ask the Movers to bring tape - because this tape doesn't hold."
  • "It doesn’t adhere to the box - but does adhere to itself when you’re trying to tear some off."
  • "It doesn’t have much tape on them they are small. Did not close or hold boxes together."
  • "It won't even stick to itself, which is the most basic kind of adhesion you'd expect from a tape."

Dispenser Quality

Pros:

  • "The side grips make it easy to apply the tape to a package."
  • "The dispenser is easy and convenient to hold."
  • "Having a multipack of them is nice."
  • "I sell on line and go through a lot of tape. I love these dispensers; they're easy to use."
  • "It is small and not bulky - does not take up space in storage."
  • "The dispenser with the cutting edge is too small to use on the larger rolls."
  • "The dispensers are easy to operate and all functioned as described."
  • "The dispenser blade easily cuts through the tape cleanly every time."

Cons:

  • "The tape gets hung up on the dispenser and there is very little clearance provided to clear a 'clog'."
  • "The dispenser is flimsy and the tape flies out of it if pulled briskly."
  • "The dispenser is of poor design as it hitches and sticks when you draw the tape out."
  • "The red tape holder does not support the tape properly."
  • "There is residue all over the rolls. Appears to have been kept at a location which was too hot and has caused the stickiness to bubble up."
  • "This roll has a gray strip at the beginning, which leads one to think that that is where the edge is. NOPE."
  • "The dispenser works but has always been difficult to load and unload."
  • "The very first roll tore diagonally as I tried to get it started, a real deal breaker for me."
