3 out of 5 stars Interesting idea, imperfect implementation   March 8, 2009
Trevor Burnham (Ann Arbor, MI)

If you work with tape a lot, then the convenience of being able to tear it by hand might trump all other factors. But as I only send a package occasionally, I still prefer tape that comes from a dispenser. Why? When you tear a piece, corners tend to stick up. This is hard to describe, but trust me, it's an annoyance, and it means that you might need more tape in order to secure something. Another disadvantage of going dispenser-free: Finding the edge with your fingernail. We've all been there.

I'd only recommend this tape in environments where kids are running around, since it makes sharp dispensers and scissors unnecessary.

This stuff rocks for my home office, for taping boxes for shipping, shipping labels, etc. Seems expensive, but I will use nothing else.


5 out of 5 stars Love this tape!   December 3, 2007

When I first saw how easy this tape was to use by just tearing it with your fingers - I became a "tear by hand" tape evangelist!

It's very hard to find and I just don't understand why this isn't a best seller in the tape department because it's strong and easy to handle (doesn't try and stick to itself as you are placing it on paper) and it's just so easy to use. The company needs to kick it's marketing department's butt for not doing its job and getting the product out there on all the shelves. Everyone I have spoken to about the tape (I told you I was a tape evangelist) have never heard of it... what a shame for the company!



5 out of 5 stars Great for trainers   August 26, 2007

I've been a professional trainer for over seven years and I have yet to find a more versatile tape for training purposes.

Here are a few of the ways I use this tape:

- Taping speaker and projector wires to the floor
- Posting completed flip charts on hotel and conference room walls
- Providing tape for exercises and participants
- Taping flipchart sheets together for large illustrations or mindmaps

And many more uses, all without scissors or the old "teeth rip".
When I can get it, I always carry a roll with me.



5 out of 5 stars The best packaging tape ever   August 4, 2007

I've been using this for a number of years. It's fast and easy. Scissors are a thing of the past when you're working with this tape. The only downside is it's sometimes difficult to find in stores.
