However, I've been using this same dispenser for several years with well over 100 tapes, and most of them work just fine

The plastic dispenser is flimsy and cracked right away.

Made the mistake of buying this tape...hate this size dispenser, it's bulky, awkward and doesn't smoothly roll the tape out.

It sticks well and the dispenser is easy to use

Absolutely a miserably designed dispenser.

Great tape and dispenser.

The plastic dispenser fell apart easily and it didn't really make cutting the tape efficient.

The dispenser works very good - I've had some that have not been great, but this tape works as it should, and stays in the red "lip" that separates it from the roll.

The dispenser is comfortable and easy to use.

The included dispenser makes it perfect to quickly apply tape to all your packages

The dispenser is really helpful--no need to wrestle with scissors or trying to rip it

The "sure start" did not seem to be a radical improvement over 3M's usual tape dispenser, so there are no pleasant surprises awaiting, unless you typically use cheap tape and cheap tape dispensers.

Another useless tape dispenser that requires two hands to pull out the tape's edge to get it started manually.

Tape came in backwards and the dispenser is flimsy.

I've never seen it rip longways, and the dispenser ensures that it's almost always ready to use (every once in a great while, the roll gets bumped around in a drawer and the tape gets stuck back to the roll, but that's a storage issue rather than a

Great quality dispenser too

And I really like the larger dispenser, compared to the small ones, which run out way too quick, when you have to do a lot of taping, like I do.

Dispenser functions very well and is handy for occasional packing.

I would recommend a sturdier dispenser that you can refill.

but I find this dispenser very difficult to work with

Love the dispenser.

This is a big roll of tape with a strong dispenser.

Recommended and the dispenser was incredibly easy to use as well

For preparing boxes and other packages for shipping, storing, moving, and other uses, including donations, etc., this is very good tape with a handy dispenser.

It also tends to stay in the proper dispenser path, which is nice, so you don't have to pull it away from itself as often as you would other tapes of a similar breed.

I always struggle with the cheap tapes and going from a cheap dispenser to this tape is like night and day.

As always the dispenser is solid, and the initial lead helps start quickly

And although I say that the dispenser is not incredibly rugged/sturdy, the flip side of that is that it's very lightweight, so good for those who may have arthritic hands.

The red dispenser works pretty well, after you get the hang of it.

If you have arthritis in your hands like I do, you'll love this dispenser.

This is a solid tape dispenser that doesn't break within a few uses, unlike some other models

Cheap dispenser broke and made it very inconvenient to dispense the tape.

but I wish I would have opted for a better dispenser.

This is wonderful strong tape in a useful dispenser

The dispenser works well

This is perfect dispenser

The dispenser is excellent, it glides smooth until you are ready to cut the tape.

Fine tape but the dispenser has two small drawbacks

The best tape and dispenser.

Excellent dispenser, easy to use.

The dispenser works smoothly, and it isn't terribly loud as it pulls off either

Cheap dispenser broke and made it very inconvenient to dispense the tape.

This is a very good packaging tape dispenser and even better tape

My old dispenser was large & bulky, this small - glad I got it.

This is the worst shipping tape I've ever used, (former e-
