Uline H-150 2-Inch Hand-Held Industrial Side Loading Tape Dispenser

This is my favorite tape gun, it just works! No clogging, the knife doesn't get gummed up, the handle doesn't flex, definitely get several GOOD tape guns like this one if you're moving...

Easy to load. Doesn't get jammed. lightweight.

The H-150 tape dispenser is a solid, no-frills tool for packing and shipping. The side-loading design makes it quick and easy to replace tape rolls, which is a big time-saver when you’re working through multiple boxes. It has an adjustable brake, so you can control the tension depending on the tape you’re using, which helps with smoother application and less waste. The combination of plastic handle, rubber roller, and metal guide gives it a good balance of durability and lightweight handling. In hand, it feels comfortable and ergonomic, making it easy to use for extended periods. Most users appreciate how straightforward and efficient it is, especially for everyday packing tasks. That said, it’s more of a basic industrial tool—durable enough for regular use, but not the most heavy-duty option compared to premium metal-frame dispensers. Pros: -Easy side-loading design -Adjustable tension control -Lightweight and comfortable grip -Reliable for daily packing and shipping Cons: -Not the most heavy-duty build -Can feel basic compared to premium models -Not compatible with filament tape Overall: A dependable and affordable tape dispenser that works well for everyday use. Great for home, office, or light warehouse work where you need something simple and efficient.

Awesome tape holder. I feel like I work for amazon warehouse when taping up my packages. Does the job well.

So I just bought our third (Jan '26). I must like it right? Well mostly. The other two we've had since 1997. But I had to find and replace many screws along the way. And does the tape some time come off the holder? Yes - but is they bc of the specs of the cheapa$$ tape I buy sometimes, or the dispenser itself? Hard to say. I read about other brands - this one still rated very high. Let's face it, anything with moving parts that gets thrown around a lot will fail. These tape guns are just the devil I know.

We've owned a number of tape guns over the years, not because they break or wear out, rather, it's usually due to the added convenience of not having to swap out different grade tape or track down the gun when packaging in different areas of the shop or house. This Uline model was purchased as a replacement to a brand new Scotch gun - their new ridiculous, child-proof design that appears to be making people turn away from Scotch products left and right, as it simply is THE worst tape gun design ever that we've come across. But, that's the downside of buying in a physical store these days, the lack of consumer reviews to warn you how bad something is. Greatfully, this U-line model is NOTHING like the one we purchased by Scotch. In fact, I was surprised just how much better this gun was, compared to the others we've relied on for years. So much so, I'm strongly tempted to replace them all with this model. Instead of it being relegated to the secondary packaging location it was purchased for, it's become our primary gun, with our old reliable (not sure the brand) being relegated to the basement and the new Scotch model, being relegated to the garbage, as I wouldn't feel right pawning off the Scotch model 3850 on anyone. We weren't looking for the best, most sturdily built tape gun on the market, but, as we use it almost daily, we didn't want to gamble on the very cheapest either. At ten bucks this was competitively priced and we knew that Uline was a good name - usually a much more pricey one. The Uline is lightweight, yet sturdy. It feels solid, yet surprisingly more comfortable to use than any of the tape guns we've used before. It's as if someone who actually uses the product, helped design this one; they seem to have done away with all the kinks. Even the super lightweight tape that wrinkles and tears very easily works without aggravation in this gun. Something we couldn't see in the picture was that the reverse side of the grip is actually vented, presumably to allow your palm to breath when taping for a long time. We thought that was a nice touch that might have bore some explanation in the product specs. I haven't dropped it yet - nor do I plan too - but if it's as robust as it appears and as others say, I doubt we'll bother shopping around the next time we need a new tape gun, and just go straight for this model again, as we couldn't be more satisfied. As with any product being sold via amazon's marketplace, not from amazon itself, it bears mentioning which store we actually got ours from, as different vendors all too often offer differently manufactured product, even under the same listing, especially when it comes to packaging supplies or other non-branded items. The order was fulfilled by Prime, but sold by YoKool. Unlike the unit currently pictured on amazon, the gun we received was braned with Uline's logo, phone, and web address printed in blue on the clear plastic guard, indicating it's authenticity. The gun didn't come with any literature as to how to use it, which is typical of these products, but they're not that complicated to figure out how to load, and there're plenty of videos online showing proper boxing technique. It did come in a triangular Uline branded disposable cardboard box, which amazon then re-boxed themselves for safer delivery.

Nice sturdy tape gun. Replaced my old tape gun of 15 years in service and it's like driving a new car! Lol. Seriously. Had no idea how dull my old gun has gotten. This one cuts through like butter. We shall see how it holds up.

Works perfectly and easy to load.

Hasta el momento me funciona muy bien no le he visto fallos, no es tan difícil recargarlo y la cuchilla es filosa, sólo trato de no tirarla porque leí que se puede romper y ya no sirve
