Pacific Mailer2 Inch Tape Gun Dispenser with 2 Inch Carton Packing Tape, Lightweight Industrial Side Loading Tape Dispenser - Blue

Easy to use and works well

I am happy to have two of these. One is replacing the one for shipping at work which someone "borrowed" from the office and never returned. The other one will be used at home. I had a little trouble at first with the tape sticking to the inside of the dispenser by the metal flap where the tape comes through. Once I got the tension on the tension screw right, that stopped happening and the dispenser is working quite nicely now. For the price, these are decent packaging tape dispensers. They seem sturdy enough to last a good while.

Works very well

This tape gun is perfect for sealing any package - residential or commercial use. It says it might work on some heavier reinforced tapes but I have only used the tape gun to seal packages with the standard clear sealing tape (1 roll comes with the tape gun). I use my tape gun all the time, and lost mine (I think a grandson "borrowed" it "=) ) and was lost without it. When I received this one, I was thrilled as it was exactly the same as my previous one (I had debated whether my previous one was 2" or 3") and fortunately I ordered this 2" one. A 3" would only be needed in heavy duty commercial use. The only drawbacks (and definitely minor and inconsequential) was that the box does not have the name, address, phone number or email address of the company. I thought that was strange (They are a company in Southern California). The instructions for threading the tape are not clear and, had I not had a tape gun before, I probably would have had difficulty in threading the tape. The Amazon page has a pretty good description on how to thread the tape. Also the tape gun comes with a black bar covering the cutting blade. This bar has to be removed before the first use, but the instructions on the box does not mention to black protective bar. This is a great tape gun and I know anyone who gets one will be very happy with it.

Packing to move, we kept running into the other using the tape gun in the opposite end of the house so decided it was time to get a 2nd one. I think I got our original one about 20 yrs ago when I needed to seal boxes when I started selling my used pc gear on eBay. Not sure why I selected this particular model other than decent reviews, reasonable price and it came with a roll of tape. Turns out it’s nearly exactly the same as the old one, plus this one has screws to replace the blade if ever necessary. The old one has rivets so a pain to change blade, but after 20 yrs it’s still sharp enough. This new one is very sharp and I expect it will also serve us well for 20 yrs as well. The tape that came was a bit thinner than the 3m multipack we got at Costco - it’s not terrible, works fine on our boxes, but has a bit of odd odor. We used it up in a day and the odor seems to have dissipated after the boxes sat in garage until packed in the container. I’m really happy with it, helped us be more productive over the past several days as we prepared boxes to store in a PackRat container for our upcoming move.

I’ve used this for almost a year now, and I have had no issues with it. It is still sharp and easy to load.

I should've bought this along time ago, saved a lot of time

overall solid build quality, easy to use, but unfortunately the tape roll slides out of the holder, it doesnt have anything rough to stay put, its a smooth surface which allows the tape roll to slide right out after repeated use.....

Good stuff + fast delivery.

llego bien y a tiempo
