No replacement bades?!
I have several of these and as others have mentioned I am very disappointed they do not make replacement blades. it is beyond wasteful given how quickly the cutting blade dulls. they are intending on you buying an entire new product rather than a simple blade, it is not acceptable. I will not be purchasing more of these dispensers but will buy a larger commercial unit f...

Name brand competitive price to store brand.
Scott dispenser is better weighed so it stays in place when you pull the tape.

Good Stuff
Great tape dispenser. It sits on my desk, holds tape, and cuts it perfectly every time. A great addition to the office!

Awesome
I bought this for my DIL after I saw her wrapping Christmas presents with those flimsy cheap tape dispensers. I told her it will change your life it did mine sure enough she loves it. Amazing how a simple little thing is so awesome.

No replacement blades available
Great tape dispenser! It’s not too big but it’s heavy enough to work one-handed. The problem is, the blades get out of alignment or worn out over time, and you can’t replace them. I’d like to fix something this minor instead of throwing the whole dispenser into a landfill and buying another one so it’s disappointing 3M doesn’t support that.

Best Priduct!
I commend the inventor of the Scotch dispensed. No sticky fingers or lost time looking for the next piece of tape.

Poor quality
Tape doesn't cut properly. Metal part for cutting dislocated often. Don't buy.
