At first I was kind of worried about this product because I had a hard time securing the elastic around the tape but figured it out. Really have to stretch it and insert into grove. It fits snugged around tape and it's small, lightweight and convenient. It's also cheaper than buying a hand held tape dispenser. The only worry is how long the elastic will last? That's why I would give it a 4.5 instead of 5.0 rating. But like I said it's cheap and convenient. see attach pictures
This device is hard to operate. You must hold it down firmly to cut the tape. Pulling the tape off the roll and constantly adjusting the cutter is a hassle.
