ULINEH-150 2-Inch Hand-Held Industrial Side Loading Tape Dispenser

I believe I read in one of the other reviews that this was the Rolls Royce of tape dispensers. THEY WERE RIGHT. I wanted one with a longer, more ergonomic handle, and this one has it. It is soooo smooth!! I sealed a box to ship and barely had to bend my wrist to cut the tape. It didn't cost as much as other ones I'd been looking at either. I don't really remember about how loud or quiet it was because I was so mesmerized by how smoothly it works! It seems well-made and sturdy. The tape it came with is great as well.

Don't make the same mistake I did and buy the red colored tape gun by a famous maker. This is the one you want! This Uline tape gun works great. It's easy to install the tape and the tape rolls smoothly onto the box. My first go around with the other famous red brand tape gun was an exercise in futility and frustration. The tape constantly got stuck to the little silver guide and wouldn't dispense at all. This one is SO MUCH SMOOTHER and BETTER. Get it, you won't regret it.

Been using it this ULine for over a year. It works well and I love it. It is made of metal and hard plastic. It makes noise when rolling out the tape, but I've dropped this dispenser a few times over the year and it is still working great.I had a different packaging tape dispenser before that was made of plastic, but was quiet when rolling out tape. One drop and it would break. Then I would use tape to fix it so I could use the dispenser longer. I finally gave it up because I broke 2 of them in one month. Our work floors are hard, so there wasn't anything that I could do to prevent it from breaking plastic somewhere.

i work in a warehouse and the one they provided me was broken and busted but i still made it work but after some time i decided to just buy my own and i’m very happy with this tape gun it works so well and the blade is very sharp gives a nice clean cut to the tape!

We've owned a number of tape guns over the years, not because they break or wear out, rather, it's usually due to the added convenience of not having to swap out different grade tape or track down the gun when packaging in different areas of the shop or house. This Uline model was purchased as a replacement to a brand new Scotch gun - their new ridiculous, child-proof design that appears to be making people turn away from Scotch products left and right, as it simply is THE worst tape gun design ever that we've come across. But, that's the downside of buying in a physical store these days, the lack of consumer reviews to warn you how bad something is.Greatfully, this U-line model is NOTHING like the one we purchased by Scotch. In fact, I was surprised just how much better this gun was, compared to the others we've relied on for years. So much so, I'm strongly tempted to replace them all with this model. Instead of it being relegated to the secondary packaging location it was purchased for, it's become our primary gun, with our old reliable (not sure the brand) being relegated to the basement and the new Scotch model, being relegated to the garbage, as I wouldn't feel right pawning off the Scotch model 3850 on anyone.We weren't looking for the best, most sturdily built tape gun on the market, but, as we use it almost daily, we didn't want to gamble on the very cheapest either. At ten bucks this was competitively priced and we knew that Uline was a good name - usually a much more pricey one.The Uline is lightweight, yet sturdy. It feels solid, yet surprisingly more comfortable to use than any of the tape guns we've used before. It's as if someone who actually uses the product, helped design this one; they seem to have done away with all the kinks. Even the super lightweight tape that wrinkles and tears very easily works without aggravation in this gun. Something we couldn't see in the picture was that the reverse side of the grip is actually vented, presumably to allow your palm to breath when taping for a long time. We thought that was a nice touch that might have bore some explanation in the product specs.I haven't dropped it yet - nor do I plan too - but if it's as robust as it appears and as others say, I doubt we'll bother shopping around the next time we need a new tape gun, and just go straight for this model again, as we couldn't be more satisfied.As with any product being sold via amazon's marketplace, not from amazon itself, it bears mentioning which store we actually got ours from, as different vendors all too often offer differently manufactured product, even under the same listing, especially when it comes to packaging supplies or other non-branded items. The order was fulfilled by Prime, but sold by YoKool. Unlike the unit currently pictured on amazon, the gun we received was braned with Uline's logo, phone, and web address printed in blue on the clear plastic guard, indicating it's authenticity. The gun didn't come with any literature as to how to use it, which is typical of these products, but they're not that complicated to figure out how to load, and there're plenty of videos online showing proper boxing technique. It did come in a triangular Uline branded disposable cardboard box, which amazon then re-boxed themselves for safer delivery.

Bought this for a move. It dispenses tape very smoothly. Much easier than my scotch dispenser I had. Cutting the tape was a little tricky though. It works best when u tilt it a bit cutting one side before the other.

OMG! This is the one! No more giant hassle with cutting the clear packing tape. I ship packages regularly and bought the pricey 3M clear tape and the expensive 3M tape dispenser from my local Office Depot. I was constantly hassling with a nice, easy tape cut when getting boxes shipped out. This dispenser ended all of that!! Definitely worth the price and whatever time it takes to get shipped to you. If this ever breaks I am getting another one!

Completed a recent cross-country move. I started with a bare roll of packing tape. Then I picked up a cheap tape dispenser and the process became a little easier. Though the tape kept getting snagged in the cheap dispenser and the tension was uneven. I made a random comment to a friend in the loading dock at my employer and they let me try their "fancy" tape dispenser - and it was much smoother.Do you *need* a Rolls Royce tape dispenser? Probably not if you don't use it every day. Do you *want* a Rolls Royce tape dispenser? Yes, if you can afford it! It's extremely well made and I doubt I'll ever have to replace it.
