Recycled 2-in-1 Heavy Duty Tape Dispenser, 1" and 3" Cores, Black (96690)

Got tired of using a tape gun. Wanted something heavy to sit on my desk and this does the trick. Tape comes of nicely and it's way better than a tape gun. A little big for my desk but it also holds a small desk tape roll as well with room to hold pencils. Heavy and great quality. Wish I had ordered one sooner. So easy to put the tape in and black is a good color.

OK, I run a pretty heavy shipping based business. At one point I was shipping out 20 packages a day via the postal service. Now I ship MUCH larger orders in large boxes via UPS, hundreds of items in each box--I know a thing or two about tape dispensers. Here is a free tip for anyone in ecommerce: Invest in the highest quality possible for items you will be using several times a day. Printers, ink cartridges, tools for cutting and resizing boxes, tape, scales (always have an extra), and in my opinion the MOST important tool--a high quality tape dispenser. The amount of time that can be wasted using a crappy tape dispenser is crazy. Seriously. When you are taping boxes shut, say five 25x25x25 boxes a day--that is a TON of tape. When the tape breaks, when it goes on crooked, when it tears crooked--that all takes TIME. Every minute you waste fixing an avoidable tool error is a waste of money. I do not have an extra 5 minutes per box to fight with my tape dispenser because the roll popped out and now it is twisted on itself, or it fell on the floor, or the teeth arent sharp enough to make a clean tear and now I have to restart the roll. This tape dispenser is pretty much indestructible. It is a BEAST! It is heavy--heavy enough that it can hold a box flap down while YOu tape--this is SUCH a help if you are processing an order or shipment alone! This dispenser does not slide across the table as you pull tape off--so it doesnt fall and twist up your tape! It cuts straight and clean every single time--so I dont have to rip it apart and restart the roll. It holds my scissors so I can trim down shipping labels and black markers for scribbling out bar codes. It does everything but ask for a paycheck. To sum up I was WILD when Spouse purchased this. It is a pretty expensive little tape holder. But we are now 6 years later and this has been used thousands and thousands of times and it has never failed us. I love this far more than my tape gun, if I had to repurchase all my shipping tools this would be my FIRST item to buy!

I purchased this tape dispenser for home office use, primarily for gift wrapping and shipping packages, and it has been very convenient to keep on my desk. The weighted base holds steady while pulling tape, and it works smoothly with both standard and wider tape rolls, which is helpful when switching between everyday tasks and packaging. The built-in compartments are a nice bonus. I use them to store pens and small office tools, which keeps everything in one place and reduces desk clutter. It’s compact enough not to feel bulky, but still substantial enough that it doesn’t slide around during use. I’ve been happy with how durable it feels for regular use. The cutting edge is sharp and clean, and the dispenser has held up well over time without loosening or shifting. The only minor consideration is that it takes up a bit more space than a basic tape dispenser, but for anyone who likes having tools organized and within reach, that trade-off is worth it. I liked it enough that I purchased a second one as a Christmas gift for my daughter.

Wow!!!! I love this Officemate Recycled 2-in-1 Heavy Duty Tape Dispenser, 1" and 3" Cores tape holder. I won't ever have to worry about having to go look for my tape holder that my grandkids borrow for this or that. It arrived in perfect condition. The tape slides on well and is secure on the roll. The tape tears perfectly. No dull cutters on this dispenser. This is so perfect for the wide tape I use. No more fumbling around trying to get tape off the big roll then it getting stuck where I can't find the end to start tearing more tape from. I love it has a holder for pens and scissors also. The price is a steal. This is the PERFECT tape holder.

This is definitely a heavy duty tape dispenser. It stays in place while being used which is wonderful. My only advice would be to keep it in an area where you will always use it due to the actual weight of the item and to be very careful of the cutting blade as it's very sharp. I would definitely purchase again if I end up needing another.

Works fine and looks great. Does not come with tape though, and that was a little surprising.

The Officemate Recycled 2-in-1 Heavy Duty Tape Dispenser is among the best I've used. It is well balanced, sturdy, and trouble free. It truly does live up to Seller's description. The heavy base ensures easy one-hand operation, making wrapping packages or just taping a breeze. Five Stars!!!

Very nice product and holds both types of tape very securely.

It is heavy and for rugged usage. Good buy and can put 2 sizes of tape.

Good quality tape dispenser suitable for home or office. This is a commercial quality dispenser and surprisingly heavy. If you use a lot of tape it's worth the expense.

Extremely heavy so easy to use the wide tape and item will stay put. And a bonus…no one will easily sneak off with it.

This tape dispenser is massive, judging from the space it takes up. But it sure looks solidly built.

Es el segundo que compro, el otro lo tengo en otro lugar y aún dura, por eso me decidí a comprar este. Es muy útil al llevar los dos tipos de cinta, tiene un hueco para bolígrafos o lo que necesites que tiene bastante sitio y como pesa un montón puedes tirar de la cinta sin tener que sujetarlo, por lo menos con esta cinta, he de decir que hay cintas que se las traen, eh! que pegan más en el rollo que en las cajas. Solo hay que tener en cuenta que debe estar bien enganchado como se ve en el video, sino el rollo se sale todo el rato. Para mi es perfecto si tienes el hueco en el escritorio/mesa de trabajo porque mide de base 26x14 más o menos, nada que ver con un porta rollos normalito. Espero haberos ayudado.
