3M Scotch H183 Industrial Packing Tape Dispenser for 3″ Tape – Lightweight and Portable for Commercial Packaging, Shipping, Moving, Carton and Box Sealing

Hi, let me start off by saying I package about 1,000 boxes a day x 6 a week! I wanted something that was the best! I’ve been using this now for 3 months so just around 20,000 boxes have been taped and it shows wear but is still performing great. it’s a tad lighter than U-Line version, It’s easier to see exactly were you are taping. the metal clip is strong and hasn’t worn out like the cheaper friends. the tension is nothing amazing compared to the cheaper versions. the teeth on top have worn out but still cuts the tape. I’ve used many different kinds and honestly if your just using it for a short period of time, say to pack a house or sell and ship items were you are only taping a box or 2a day or so, save your money and get the cheap one. if your wanting one that will last longer and give you less problems or are taping 1,000 to 10,000 boxes a week this is going to save you money because you will have gone through 10 cheap dispensers before you go through this one.
