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

I hesitated buying a dedicated wide tape dispenser, but I was fed up with wrecking strips of tape from the cheap plaster cutting spool included with rolls. This is pricey, but WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT! With slots for wide and common width tape and enough weight to keep its feet firmly planted, this is a mainstay atop my desk now. It's very sturdy, nicely molded and makes cutting tape easy.The only issue was due to its weight. It was delivered battered. The box was torn and cobbled together with a piece of tape stating HEAVY (explanation, excuse or warning, guys?) But the tape dispenser survived unmarred!!! The sorry delivery made the dispenser even more impressive.

I feel like a double tape dispenser like this can only be reviewed on very simple things. It cuts and holds standard sized tapes just fine. My real concern was whether it could stay in place or not when I pull on either tape roll. I hated my previous tape holders for failing in this. I work in signing where I need to be able to pull tape and cut with one hand while holding signs with the other. Pulling and having the dispenser fight and move on you through this process isn't fun.I can happily say that this tape holder weighs enough that it doesn't move, regardless of how I pull from it. Shiny, durable, and solid and unflinching like a rock. Exactly what I wanted.

A very comfortable and useful office supply. It has a reasonable weight and structure. It’s convenient to use with two different sizes of tape together, and it has a suitable holder where you can place pencils, glue, or scissors. Out of all the tape dispensers I’ve used so far, this one is the best.

works great!! Stays in place when pulling tape.

Wow! Where has this been all my life? No more struggling with strapping tape. Now it is as easy as dispensing scotch tape! Very heavy and well made, as well

My favorite feature is ..This doesn't move as you are pulling the tape. It has enough weight to stay in place. Nice deep section to hold scissors and pens but what sold me was both size tapes. Tape is easy to replaces. My con is the the small tape placement is awkward to use. Almost like it's to close to big roll and I don't use it. Holds 2" size tape

The dispenser works just like it should for regular packing tape and scotch tape. Some reviewers complain that the tape won’t stay put when you pull it, but I do not have any issue. You need to pull straight out, not lifting up the tape to avoid issue. The blades are plenty sharp for the purpose. I love that I can have both types of tape as well as a very handy place for pens, scissors, etc. Highly recommend this product for it’s functionality and value for the price.

I didn’t know how much I needed this!!! Life-changing. Completely changed my relationship with packaging tape! Sooo sturdy and easy to use with one hand holding the box in place, and the other tearing, placing and pushing down the tape. Also very helpful to have a roll of scotch (or whatever smaller roll you want) right next to it. I now look forward to using packaging tape, as shipping/organizing is so much more efficient and enjoyable - sooo fast and easy!!! Do not hesitate to buy this. It will actually improve your life - likely much more than you could imagine!!!
