ScotchBlue Painters Tape Applicator, Applies Painter's Tape in One Continuous Strip, Paint Tape Applicator for Trim, Windows and Door Frames, 1.41 Inches x 20 Yards, 1 Starter Roll

This tool is just brilliant- I was redecorating the hall way upstairs and down and I had so much to tape off- 8 doors, skirtings, stairs, bannisters and floorboards! Is still took a good while but so much faster and easier using this tool.To address some of the negatives in some other reviews- make sure to buy the wider width tape then it doesn't move so much on the roll. For shorter stretches is easier to just pull it off piece by piece like a dispenser- still so much quicker as you're able to get off small pieces with right angled ends so you can get right in the corners without faffing. For longer stretches I found it works best to hold the starting end down, then just pull the dispenser out for a foot or 2 (not along the wall) then keeping the tape taught, move the tool so it's in line with skirting (or whatever) and then press the tape to stick it firmly. There are times where I did run it directly along the wall like it's suggested in the photos etc but found in general it works best the other way and is easier to get a super straight line, as you've more control as long as you use the skirting as a guide when placing the tool back against the wall. Also, when you are finishing and want to break the tape, I found I got more consistent tears where i wanted them if I had the end away from the wall and used my other hand to brace it, else sometimes it wouldn't tear straight or the tape pulled away.Hope these points make sense and didn't sound negative- I've only covered these points in such detail as I was nearly put off by some of the reviews. But honestly, this little gadget made a hateful job soooo much better!

Great product. Has made cutting in much easier. Only downside would be cutting the tape, but that wouldn't be enough to put me off purchasing this product. I recommend

Excellent

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.

The tape applicator does work however for me ended up being a bit of a faff to make work correctly. Between trying to get it to cut at the right point and having to refill it, I found that after a few uses I preferred to use the tried and tested method of just doing it by hand and ripping it. This worked out to be faster and easier for me but maybe my technique is just poor! Overall I would say save yourself a few quid and just do it by hand. It does work, it just didn't rock my world.

Works a treat

Ordered which I thought were extra rolls for this but they are slimmer rolls. A little disappointed

Love it. Can't be without it at work now as a Painter.

Makes it easier to apply accurately

Didn't like this. I found it took up to much time to use it and keep it straight while moving it. I'll go back to old school. It was hard to cut and just made a mess trying to cut it.
