Large Tape Dispenser
Blue tape is a shop hero. Heck it’s a life hero. About the only complaint I have is that it can be difficult when you only have one hand free. If I know I’m going to be needing multiple pieces I will try and pull them off before I am knee deep in project. But I’m not always thinking that far in advance, I run out of pre cut strips, and sometimes I’m just lazy. I KNOW that having the tape will help but I’m already at the go point, so lets just go. Plus sometimes finding the tape is a challenge. This tape dispenser is sweet. It’s harder to loose than just the roll of tape. It’s easy to pull a piece off even if I only have one hand free. Even if I’m at go time, if I happen to glance over and see it I’ll stop and go get tape. Which is what just happened. I was getting ready to cut a piece of shelving, had it measured, lines drawn, everything supported and setup for the cut and then I saw the tape dispenser. Because this is melamine shelving and because the blade that is in the saw at this moment is not fine tooth it make sense to just tape off the cut to help minimize tear out and chipping. Also there happened to be a utility knife sitting next to it, so I will also score the surface before cutting. It’s like the planets aligned.
The blue tape dispenser is making me a better person.
