Customers say
Customers find the tape label dispenser easy to use and a time saver. It helps them apply tape quickly and efficiently, making painting faster. They appreciate the built-in roller and teeth for cutting the tape in a straight line. The line quality is good and it eases painting. However, opinions differ on how well it applies the tape and its value for money.

Great tool
I confess, when I paint I spend more time preparing walls and floors long than I do painting. I found this tool to be simple and easy to use and reduced the preparation time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seamless Taping Made Easy, but Occasional Sticking Issues
As an avid DIYer, I’ve always struggled with achieving perfectly straight lines when painting trim, windows, and door frames. That’s why I was thrilled to discover the Scotch Blue Painters Tape Applicator. This nifty tool has revolutionized my painting projects, making the taping process a breeze.One of the standout features of this applicator is its ability to apply the painter’s tape in one continuous strip. No more painstakingly trying to align individual pieces of tape – this tool does it for you, resulting in a seamless and precise line every time. The 1.41-inch width is perfect for most trim and frame applications, providing ample coverage without being too bulky.The included starter roll of Scotch Blue Painter’s Tape is a reliable and high-quality option, ensuring clean lines and easy removal without damaging surfaces. The applicator itself is well-designed and comfortable to hold, making it a pleasure to use, even for extended periods.My only critique, which prevents me from giving this product a perfect 5-star rating, is that occasionally the tape doesn’t adhere properly on the first try. There have been instances where I’ve had to go back and press down on certain sections to ensure a secure bond. This minor issue could be due to various factors, such as surface texture or ambient temperature, but it’s worth noting.Despite this small drawback, the Scotch Blue Painters Tape Applicator is an invaluable tool that has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of my painting projects. The time and frustration it saves more than make up for the occasional sticking issue.If you’re someone who values precision and clean lines when painting, this applicator is an absolute must-have. It might take a little practice to get the hang of it, but once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. Highly recommended for DIYers and professionals alike!

Quick and easy.
Made painting so much easier. It took a little bit to get used to using but once it got started it went quickly nice smooth lines.

Meh. Not worth the hassle
Didn’t work as smoothly as I’d hoped. The tape isn’t sticky enough to pull the tapegun without using both hands at all times. Can only tape a few inches at a time and have to constantly go back over to restick. Even then, I had a lot of paint bleed where I used the tapegun.

Made my life easier
We’ve been doing a lot of home renovation projects and initially did the taping with our bare hands. Lines were never straight, sometimes bunched up, and tons of awkward tear angles. Then I saw and bought this tool and it’s the best. Lays flat, straighter than before and switching out rolls is easy. There’s a little applicator roller that uses static to keep the tape end lifted so you don’t have to try and unpeel it between uses. Can’t imagine laying tape without this guy now

I had to paint our hallway woodwork an that had 5 door ways off it and I knew my ability to run masking tape around each door frame and skirting board would be a challenge. I saw this and did some research – watching a few YouTube reviews and it was a mixed result.I decided to take the plunge and ordered it along with ScotchBlue Multi-Surface Premium Masking Tape, 36 mm x 41 m, 4 Rolls/Case – the roll that’s supplied barely did one door frame but these fitted the applicator and worked very well!Would I recommend this to family and or friends – YESIs it difficult to use – NOKeep the edge on your door frame/floor etc and make sure there are no lumps of paint that will push it out and you’ll mask the door frame in a few minutes – it is so simple to use and the results are fantastic.I left the masking tape on for 3 days – 2 undercoats and 2 top coats – no bleed through or creeping under the edges and very straight lines.
