No frills but effective

Worth the money. It's basic and effective. Our office previously had one but the "do not remove from mailing room" written on it was ignored, subsequently misplacing it. We ordered another and those who frequently use it are once again, enjoying it.

Works Great!

It's so much easier to use than the large tape guns. I love it!

I'm sure I will love it!

Not sure why you chose USPS to deliver this package. Been waiting a week for it and still not here.

Works good, just needs instructions on how to load

The tape dispenser is great, light weight and so easy to use, once you get it loaded (THAT IS THE PROBLEM). The reviews that are saying it doesn't work, are all loading it wrong!
1. Put dispenser flat on a table with the metal plate facing towards the left
2. Put roll of tape on it and thread the tape through the bottom of the dispenser where the two little knobs are ...

Cheap plastic

This is made of cheap plastic with small tape guides that break easily when pulling the tape.

Sturdy and refillable and easy to use

I ordered this for our warehouse and will be ordering 3 more. They are great for taping boxes and less "temperamental" than the larger version with a handle and don't come apart like the "cheap" kind that come with a roll of tape.

Scotch® Packing Tape Hand Dispenser, 3" Core, Red

I ordered this dispenser to fit a roll of Staples packing tape - 3"core, 2" wide, 110 yds. The description of the product does not indicate how long of a roll of tape will fit on the dispenser. I chatted with an advisor before making the purchase. After several minutes to investigate, the advisor assured me that the 110-yd roll of tape will fit. I was able to put the 1...

Much better than "normal" tape dispensers

The big dispensers with the handle are so much bigger and more difficult to use. The end of the tape is further away and the heavy design makes you need to put in effort to use the dang thing. Small hand dispensers like this one are so much easier to handle with basically no down side. Maybe the size of the roll of tape can be larger on the larger dispensers, but if you...

Simple at best

it's a great little thing. When stretching the tape it's a lot tighter than the other ones. Plus at my job there good as gold at Fed ex

Great tape dispenser works with eBay tape rolls

I just love this Scotch tape dispenser for 3" core tapes. I am using it for taping boxes with eBay branded tape. No more trying to find the end and cutting with scissors. I am showing some photos of my tape dispenser filled to show you how it looks when loaded.

Easy to handle

I bought this one for my daughter, because I love mine. Staples should carry this one in the store! It's very easy to use without the longer handle. It's easy to maneuver, easy to cut the tape where you want without tugging and fits comfortably in my hand. It's also easily refilled.

Best tape dispenser!

This dispenser is by far the easiest dispenser to load, cut and manage, compared to the handle type.

Tape dispenser confusing, unusable.

How does this pull-tape dispenser work? I simply cannot figure it out.

Totally useless

I bought one of these, and returned it 30 minutes later. Then I bought a Heavy Duty Tapegun, and it is almost as useless. I am using their tape, with a pair of scissors now. What a waste of $20

Works great

My only disappointment is the tape will sometimes fold back over on itself as there is nothing to stick it to while it's not in use.

Scotch Packing Tape Hand Dispenser

Absolutely disappointed. The pic shows it with tape included. It came without tape, and the size I happen to have on hand is not large enough to fit. I suggest changing the picture to show it empty :(
