Would RecommendForst of all i had no idea these were so expensive. This was the cheapest of options at lowes but was still over 20 bucks for some plastic. However i bought it to replace a more expensive one i broke. I broker the other by dropping it off a ladder. I dropped thos one off the same ladder but it didnt break. Fed the tape and plastic just fine.

3M Hand Masker Masking Tape Dispenser
Would Not Recommend4 people tried to put this masker together and could not figure it out. We tape of the area we needed to by hand. Sorry, but I cannot recommend this product.
3M hand masker
Would RecommendFor shorter rolls of paper that don’t require the extension it works Great. Gets a little flimsy and can be hard to work with on higher or overhead masking with the additional extension length
Dispenser
This item saves time. I use it for tape and paper, and just dispensing tape by itself.
Works but not sure about the two piece
Would RecommendSo I have ran a couple rolls of tape through it and seems to work as it should. But I have reservation on the two piece paper holder. Very much a time saver.

Would RecommendTakes a little to master so that paper tears with tape. Easy to make fine edge with tape and covers well.

Would Not RecommendThe tool worked fine on 2/3 of the paper/tape but when I got to the last 1/3 I had trouble with the tape slipping of the edge of the paper and I had to continually make adjustments.

Time saver
Would RecommendThis is the third one I've purchased. I like this tape machine. My only problem is they always seem to grow legs and disappear. Dour you have one with a GPS chip?
Very poor build quality
Would Not RecommendMight be good for someone using it for one project, but the plastic is flimsy and does not hold up for daily use. Mine broke after performing terribly 2 months after purchasing.

Love the idea
Would Not RecommendThis product is great, but it seems like it is just not made very well because I can't get 5 feet before the tape walks off the paper. It just does not line up well with the paper because the blade and guide is not straight, so I have spent so much time adjusting it that it is actually making taping harder. Please fix this, it makes taping so much easier and better and I want to use it but I am so frustrated I'm about to throw it away. Poor quality!!!

Not as good as more expensive unit
Would Not RecommendBought this one to do masking around home for paint job. It lasted for a while but then broke in half, just cheap plastic design. I bought more expensive hand masker, hopefully it will last for long time.

Tape walks off the paper
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tape and Paper Dispenser works well but (when pulled) the tape "walks" off the paper which results in stopping and setting up again. This is my second dispenser and the first one did the same thing. I thought the issue would have been addressed in a product modification or a useful tip to avoid the problem.

Beats Applying By Hand
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape dispenser is so much easier to use and takes less time than by applying the tape by hand. Worth buying
