This is a wonderful dispenser, as are all Scotch's tape dispensers. However, they do not make a replacement blade insert for these models. So if this is something you'll use a lot as a teacher or librarian, don't bother! If it is for home use go ahead and grab one.

I recently purchased two of these dispensers, one for the office and one for home. They look great and were reasonably priced. I was so anxious to put them into service, I even broke open hand held dispensers to get the tape rolls for my new desktop models. Big Mistake. First of all they do not weigh enough to resist the effort required to cut the tape. Secondly the cutting blade is either recessed too far or just is not sharp enough to get the job done! Why has Scotch made these changes in what used to be a wonderful product? Are they afraid we will cut ourselves, or drop it and bruise a toe? Did their lawyers make them do it?

Great tape dispenser! It’s not too big but it’s heavy enough to work one-handed. The problem is, the blades get out of alignment or worn out over time, and you can’t replace them. I’d like to fix something this minor instead of throwing the whole dispenser into a landfill and buying another one so it’s disappointing 3M doesn’t support that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the desktop dispenser, both at home and work. At home it is wonderful for wrapping gifts, and at work I am able to repair pages easily. The dispenser allows me to get the right size tape without tangles everytime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many different types of tape dispensers. Some were less costly and some cost more. This Scotch Desktop Dispenser worked every time. No half pieces. I also could use it with one hand leaving my other hand free for another task.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the scotch brand dispenser, the tape rolls have a lot more tape on them so they last longer. I like that they are weighted so I don't lose them while wrapping. My children both have one on there desks (so they leave mine alone). Great value, Great Price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Tape Dispenser, it never falls over when my hands are busy and I need a quick piece of tape. The construction is excellent, I would never imagined how often I use this, it's a lot! Thanks Scotch for producing a nice product that will last for years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep various art supplies and office supplies in our home office area. My three children know where I keep these items, and they often use them to create crafts and school projects. My daughter (4) and son (3) love the Scotch Tape Dispenser. I love the fact that the teeth on the end never dull, which means tape dispenses easily and effortlesslessly. It's durable, too, for it has stood up to the punishing pulling and tugging of my toddlers. Thanks for making a product that helps me. . . working mom!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the scotch desktop dispenser for two years, and it makes wrapping gifts, or grabbing a quick piece of tape sooo easy ! The weight is perfect so you don't need two hands to take a piece of tape off of it , and it is just the right size to not get lost in the wrappings, but not take up too much space ! Sincee owning mine, I have bought one each for my children, of course, with a supply of tape ! Thank you Scotch , for such a handy dispenser !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The C-38 Scotch Tape Dispenser is the most easiest to use, that even children can use it! I love using my dispenser, I can use as much tape as I need and do it all by using only one hand, which frees the other hand to help hold or wrap or whatever project you are doing. Thank You for making my life a little easier Scotch!
