Crafter's Companion Tape Pen, 22 metre

This is a great little tape roller, it lasts a while and is much longer than most, easy to use, sticks paper, card and light wood with ease, good value when it’s on offer

Works exactly how I expected. Anyone who has used these type of tape machines before (for decorative or tippex style tape) will get on fine with it. As with these types of machines, sometimes the glue doesn't fully come off the roll, or sometimes too much comes off and you end up with no adhesive on the plastic spool stuff. It's easy to sort this out though, no need to give up on the machine. If too much glue pulls off and you end up with a dry patch of nothing on the spool, just use your finger to gently keep moving the spool along til you get to a gluey bit again and you are good to go. I've made a video to show this :) As for the glue not coming off evenly, just keep an even pressure while applying the glue and keep an eye out that no adhesive is left on the tape going back up into the machine. If there is, just use your finger again to gently roll the glue off so it doesn't go inside and jam the machine. Every kind of tape machine I've used in this style does this so I don't think it's a flaw in this particular brand, it just comes with the territory I think. All in all I'm really happy with this little device, it makes it super convenient to quickly stick things together.

I needed one of these to replace my old one which had broken. My old one was from a different brand and about the size of one of the tippex mini mice. I was expecting the same from this, but it’s huge! Photo of it on my hand for comparison. It seems to work great, the glue is a bit ‘wetter’ than my last one, as you pull the mouse away from where you’ve applied it there is sometimes a ‘string’ of glue. However the glue seems good and I haven’t had any issues yet. I like how it applies a bit thicker than my old one too. It’s an easy mechanism, you push it down and drag it across to apply. The glue tape comes out from the little roller at the end. Then ease pressure and lift it up when done. It’s a lot easier and less messy than a glue stick or PVA glue. The cap you have to take off and replace afterwards, this is a slight bug bear as it’s very small and thus easy to lose. If you lose it then the glue will dry out and you will end up wasting it. My old one had an attached cap that could be popped up and placed back down. If I could make one suggestion to the folk who make this I would say add a cap that doesn’t come off completely. Good value for money as it looks like it will last a while, my old one was smaller and a similar price. I also love the pretty purple colour. The glue tape itself is clear and not coloured so don’t worry if you don’t want coloured glue marks. Four stars, loses a star for portability and the lid.

Great for card making, nice and sticky, good value for money.

Broke about halfway through (not user error I've never had this issue with other brands) so a waste of lots of product but it was cheap so idk what I expected Was good while it lasted

Easy to store and great for cardmaking

These are indispensable tape dispensers — I use them for everything. Ideal for crafts, scrapbooking, and even gift wrapping. They give a clean, strong hold and are much neater than glue or double-sided tape. I always keep one nearby!

Did the job very well for sealing envelopes without trace but stopped working as some glue got stuck at some point preventing the roller from rolling. We sealed 150 envelopes before it stopped working.

Me gusta el formato y que no mancha pero el aplicador no funciona perfectamente y a menudo se queda atrancado y cuesta que deslice

Ha semplificato la realizzazione dei miei biglietti d'auguri: i dettagli vengono incollati efficacemente e con precisione, senza sporcare. Consiglio senz'altro l'acquisto.

J'ai acheté ce "rouleau collant" parce que j'avais un grand nombre de collages à faire rapidement. Je voulais un outil plus rapide que le tube de colle. Cet outil est vraiment idéal. Il faut prendre le coup de main car au départ j'ai eu quelques loupés. En fait, pour éviter que le ruban de colle ne s'étire lorsqu'on arrête de coller, il faut faire un petit mouvement de poignet pour qu'il se coupe un peu à la façon d'un dérouleur de scotch. Après, tout va vite. Il complétera très bien le nécessaire des amateurs de scrapbooking.

this is great stuff

Buon prodotto, l'ho scelto per la grande lunghezza del nastro. Si stende con facilità, è pratico e veloce con una buona adesione. Vedremo se terrà il sistema di srotolamento fino alla fine. (Quello di un marchio molto famoso non c'è riuscito, buttato a metà del prodotto)
