The retractable blade is garbage and makes it a hassle for frequent use. It may be fine for taping up one box once in a while. The retractable blade is a safety feature with no override. If there was a switch you could flip to lock the blade in place, that would be fine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used the Scotch brands for packing and crafts. This past Halloween, being in a time crunch, decided to use a much cheaper clear packing tape. Not surprisingly, it was nearly impossible to start the roll, and the dispenser itself was dull. We ended up using scissors to cut. Most importantly, it just would not stick! We used double the amount of tape just hoping it would work. Oh well, now we know! Scotch Rocks! Thanks for an AWESOME product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Scotch Brand Shipping tape to reinforce the bindings and top and bottom corners of the front cover of big books in the classroom. Using this tape adds to the life of the books as they are used frequently by the children. I also use it as a quick "laminate" for photos that are used as picture exchange communication for children with speech disabilities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the tape to purchase when you need to be absolutely sure the tape will secure those boxes & packages you either put in the mail or use for moving. And it stays in place much longer than other tape, irregardless of weather conditions.

This dispenser works great, but now that the tape has run out, I would like to purchase refills. The only way to do so is to buy the entire set with another dispenser, or dispensers. (I now have two empty dispensers) Is there anywhere I can purchase just the rolls so that I don't have to waste plastic?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape to seal some boxes for storage, The tape was clear and easy to see through insuring that the tape went on straight. The tape was strong and held full heavy boxes together without apparent strain. The tabs made it easy to see the end of the tape (hooking the tape around the tabs). Although I did not need to refill, I tried out the interlock and it was easy to remove and insert the roll of tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I depend upon this product heavily. Great for shipping boxes, covering paper like a lamination, arts & crafts and a tons of other uses (like taping cords to the wall, if your cat is a cord chewer; or covering up ripped up carpet [thanks, cat!] so you can go over the area with a vacuum without snagging carpet). I'm not sure what I would do without the value, reliability and effectiveness of Scotch® Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packing is very strong and capable of proving secure bonding for small and large packages. It never fails during UPS or Federal Express shipping of parcels over all distances. Highly recommended for all shipping. We

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Guarantee to stay sealed - Scotch heavy duty package tape. Made with industrial strength adhesive, super long holding power, made in USA, & included refillable dispenser that cuts cleanly with recycled content.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from 3m to evaluate. This tape is great, my packages are totally secure and I am confident that they will not come apart anyplace I have used this tape. I have also used it around the house and find it works well for anything I might need to tape.
