   I purchased these for my DIY wedding invitations. I used them to glue 80lb cardstock paper to a metallic heavier weight pocketfold envelope. It was very easy to apply, and easy to reposition if I made any errors.

   However, the adhesive was not strong enough and so did not adhere well. I ended up using Scotch double sided tape, which worked like a charm.

   I think these may be better for lightweight paper/craft projects.

   I bought some of this brand of tape to save some money compared to that other leading famous brand of clear sealing tape. What I got were rolls of tape that looked the same but were brittle. That means that the tape split as I was pulling it off the roll, making me pick at the strip still sticking to the roll and starting it over. I wasted so much time with this tape that I made up my mind to pay extra and buy that other leading brand that I never had this problem with.

   The only way I can qualify this review is that perhaps the rolls I got were too old to be sold. Perhaps they had been in storage too long. But after what I’ve been through using this tape, I can’t bring myself to buy it again.

   First of all, this tape’s dispenser is lame. Second the tape sucks! It is not sticky. If you taped a bottom of a box the stuff would fall right through and after you apply the tape it is nearly impossible to get the dispenser to function properly. I would advise anyone looking to save money on moving costs to give up on that idea and go buy the good 3M Tape and Dispenser. I ended up buying a nice 3M tape gun with the padded handle grip at Target for a reasonable price.

   Trying to tape boxes without a tape gun is very difficult. I send a lot of packages, and this gun has worked well for me. It’s reliable and easy to use. Just be sure to use a good brand of tape with it. Cheap tape causes problems, no matter what gun you use.

   I seem to have been packing up to move all my life. I have also worked in a number of shipping departments. All of the tape guns I have use prior to this have been similar to what Uline sells (sideload) or what U-haul sells. They have been of varying build quality but have all worked about the same. The only appreciable difference I could attain in the ease of taping was in choosing a better quality tape. Then I got to use the Shark Pro at my current job. It is the only gun I have used that hides the cutting teeth until they are needed. They activate simply by rolling the nose over while holding the roller against box. When you pull the gun away from the box, the teeth retract. It also has a better design for loading with the bottom opening farther than average to feed the tape through. I haven’t used it long enough to speak to how long it will last. As with all guns, the glue residue does tend to build up on the teeth but the design seems to have take that into account and the cutter function seems to keep working well even with some build-up. I am sure that it wouldn’t hurt to clean it occasionally. I have not found the frame prone to bending as with some other guns I have used. One last thought, I havent tried a severe drop test yet so I don’t know how well the plastic parts hold up in that regard but it seems plenty durable. Ours have taken numerous drops from about 4 feet and have not broken. It is too bad it can’t make bad tape work better. I am definitely going to purchase one for home use.

   This is the best (and cutest) tape dispenser I’ve ever used. I am moving and I used the Tape Shark to tape all the boxes. It is easy to load the tape; you fold down part of the shark’s mouth and it stays open while you put the tape in. The little wheel that you put the tape on is adjustable. The handle is ergonomic and has a rubbery grip, and I didn’t have any trouble with it even though I have small hands. My dad also liked the tape dispenser, so you needn’t worry about the handle being too small either. The dispenser is not too top heavy (due to the location of the roll of tape) and is pretty sturdy. The shark’s head is metal and the dispenser is held together with screws. There is a rubbery roller that the tape goes around before coming out of the shark’s mouth (the non-sticky side should be next to the roller). There are two little metal clips on the shark’s teeth that hold the tape until you’re ready to tape more (the clips come up when the shark’s nose is pushed). You put the roller down on the box (at the front of the shark’s mouth) and pull the dispenser across the box; at the end, push the shark’s nose against the box and the teeth come out and cut the tape (and then the clips hold the end of the tape until you’re ready to tape again). You don’t have to change the angle at which you’re holding the dispenser to cut the tape. The Tape Shark Pro has a novel design that works really well and avoids many of the problems I’ve had with other tape dispensers. I’d recommend the Tape Shark to anyone who is moving or needs to tape a lot of boxes.

   but this is the best one I could find. It works fairly well, and has a little adjustment to help keep the real in line. I was annoyed having to order it online but I ship a lot so it had to be done.

   This packaging tape is extremely easy to use due to its dispenser.
   The sticky side isn’t too tacky on your fingers, and the tape is very easy to peel off the rest of the roll if it ever comes off the dispenser.
   It truly is frustration free.
