Great value on Amazon. Sturdy, tension adjustment and nice sharp cutting area make it so easy to use.

If you measure it it’s a little under 3 inches

I wanted this specifically for brown tape. This does hold the thickest rolls of tape which is great. However I purchased this solely for brown tape. On all of my red cheapie scotch tape dispensers when you push on the plastic tab the teeth deploy to help cut the tape strip and then retract when done. This has teeth but doesn’t do that. Since it doesn’t retract I have left teeth marks on several boxes. It does cut, so yes, but it looks terrible and is not professional looking for a small business to ship with teeth marks and “claw” marks down the box.

The side guide fins near the roller and teeth are not enough to keep my lightweight tape on track but just enough to curl the edges of the tape back on itself while dispensing, if the tape is the least bit off center coming off the roller. So I have had a bunch of boxes going out without clean horizontal edges, and where the tape edges are rolled over sticking to themselves it also another place where tape could get caught or pulled up. Have not had this happen before with other guns. Edit - I threw this out after 2 months.

I was a little disappointed by how thin this tape is, but it worked for what I needed.

If I could add one thing, it would be a cover for the cutting teeth … otherwise, perfect!

Works well. Less expensive than ulines dispenser.

I bought this for work, I work at UPS, and I dropped it once and the whole thing broke. I can’t even fix it. Look elsewhere if you need a tape gun for a manual labor job.

what i needed however itd be nice to have loading directions

This was just an extra tape gun needed for our shipping department. This is almost identical to the 3M brand we have except for the color and the hardware isnt quite a beefy. So far I have no complaints and it works just as good as the $70.00 3M tape gun we have been using. Save yourself some money and just buy this.
