Rapesco 1488 Heavy Duty Tape Dispenser 500 with 2 Tape Rolls, Powder Blue

Great quality tape dispenser. I had my original one of this brand for years and it was an absolute staple on birthdays and Christmases when I was wrapping presents. The blades stay sharp, the weighted bottom means that it doesn’t tip over and you can use it one handed and I liked the baby pink colour in my office. Very easy to replace the tape and seems to work with any standard role of tape from the shop as the inside wheel is slightly smaller on one side which means you can push the role onto it until it’s wide enough that it stays nice and tight. The only reason I have to replace was because my daughter dropped it on one of her many occasions of stealing it for her craft work and broke the pin which holds the tape in the dispenser. Unable to find it, I couldn’t fix it so had to buy another but went straight back for the one I bought a couple of years before. It’s a good size without being too bulky, it cuts tape perfectly, it grips onto the table without sliding about everywhere, the colour looks nice, fits Most generic office Sellotape sizes and good value!

Excellent product, I have been using my original one for over 5 years with no issues and have bought several more since for various workplaces. Still cuts the tape as well as when it was new. Saves me a lot of faff trying to find the end of the tape and stops me using my teeth ripping it! Good weight to it, so it doesn't tip, be careful if you drop it near your feet as it will hurt you. Came with a couple of rolls of basic quality tape, did the job. Recommended.

I've had a bit of a mission getting a tape dispenser from Rapesco, after finding this great candy pink coloured one that fits in with my craft desk. The first one that arrived seemed to have had a step missing in production - either inside the base or with its sealing - because every time I moved it I'd find a little scattering of sand/fine grit underneath. Eventually after wiping down the base then shaking the unit I realised the material used for weighing it down was somehow coming through! I was approved for a refund and sent it back (easy, via Post Office, no printing required!) before buying a replacement of the same colour, which arrived with a black scuff mark on the side of it which won't come off. It's not anywhere near as annoying as having to hoover up little bits of grit, though, so I haven't raised an issue this time. For the dispenser itself, it works well and is well made. Easy to put together and to use. My only real negative point is that the Rapesco brand tape (of which I now have 4 rolls to use) isn't the best and tends to 'split' easily if you're not careful when pulling it from the roll. Dispenser good, tape less so.

Good quality and it is weighty - so doesn’t move about when you’re using it. The little teeth are sharp so tape it easy to rip off. Normal sized tape fits on just fine. I really like the pale blue colour!

I knew that the way to find the bits missing from my old tape dispenser was to order a new one and right on cue they appeared. I now have an upstairs and downstairs tape dispenser. Which I agree is ludicrous Ultimately you just can’t live without one of these, especially as a parent, and this one is great-stable, cuts well, good price. The fact it came with sellotape was a double bonus.

I purchased this mainly for the stand itself, but the two rolls of tape included were certainly a welcome addition. The stand is excellent quality and has a nice, heavy weighted base, weighing in at 1,365g on its own. This makes a real difference when using it one-handed, as it stays firmly in place without needing to hold it down. It also comes with two interchangeable tape holders to accommodate the two most common roll core sizes, 75mm and 22mm, which is a really useful addition. My only real criticism is the quality of the tape supplied. So far, I've only used it for wrapping inexpensive wrapping paper, which it has handled perfectly well. However, if you intend to use this for crafting projects or sticking paper to walls or boards, I'd recommend considering higher-quality replacement tape, as the included tape feels as though it could leave behind a sticky residue, particularly in warmer environments. Overall, I'm very happy with the stand itself. Just don't expect the included tape to be of particularly high quality.

This tape dispenser is heavy and feels solid and durable and sits firmly on my desk without any movement, or sliding about. It comes with 2 rolls of tape which fit into the dispenser and with a sharp cutter, the tape rips off easily and neatly. It is very easy to dispense the tape, and the compact size does not take up too much space. I think this is excellent value. It looks good and works well.

Robust och fungerar mycket bra! Jättenöjd.

Diesen Klebebandabroller habe ich tatsächlich schon vor fünf oder sechs Jahren einmal gekauft und seitdem fast täglich benutzt. Er hat einiges mitgemacht – inklusive mehrfacher Abstürze durch meine Tochter. Irgendwann war eine Ecke abgeplatzt, was aber lange überhaupt kein Problem war. Erst nachdem die Kleine vor kurzem auch noch die innere Rollenaufnahme beschädigt hat, durfte er endgültig in Rente. 😄 Für mich war allerdings sofort klar: Ich bestelle genau denselben wieder. Ich mag vor allem, dass er so schön schwer ist. Dadurch bleibt er beim Abrollen zuverlässig stehen und man muss ihn nicht ständig mit der zweiten Hand festhalten. Klingt nach einer Kleinigkeit, merkt man aber sofort, wenn man plötzlich keinen vernünftigen Abroller mehr hat – ich war erstaunlich genervt, als meiner kaputt war. Nach mehreren Jahren Nutzung und direktem Nachkauf kann ich ihn wirklich empfehlen.

Vino bien protegida sin daño es bonita y esta algo pesada..

È il dispenser della vita, solido e irremovibile, bello pesante. Unico difetto, eventualmente, le dimensioni. Ho apprezzato anche l'estetica.

Muy bien, ha llegado bien empaquetado, es pesado para que se puedan cortar bien las cintas sin problemas. Lo único que había comprado para mi hijo para usar en el cole, y resultó demasiado grande para uso escolar (no me había fijado en el tamaño), pero para la oficina está perfecto.
