1InTheOffice Tape Dispenser Desk, Desktop Tape Dispenser, Black “2 Pack” (Tape Dispenser)

In order to fully appreciate the gravity of this review, I’m going to need you to set aside your pre-conceived and ill-contrived notions of tape dispensers and expand the horizons of your mind to accept that which may frighten, excite and ultimately please you! We begin this review with sand, also known as “silica” in some realms. The 1InTheOffice Desktop Tape Dispenser (Black) is crafted with cutting edge technological engineering. It starts at the sand. Just the right amount! Not too much to be a burden when moving, and not too light to fall into that awful “flimsy” category. Next, we move onto the blade. Team, if you want sharp, look no further!! This finely tuned, serrated and what I assume is some type of stainless steel composite metal not only delivers clean, reliable cuts on every pull of the tape… it refuses to DULL! I’ve seen steak knives with less resolve than the blade on this tape dispenser, but fright not – as it is so neatly tucked against the chassis of the cartridge that self inflicted injury is a simple impossibility. Next we move onto the finish, or what I like to refer to as the “BODY”. Oh if there was ever such a body as this! The novice tape dispenser user will look for smooth texture and curved edges. But no! This dispenser is rugged, for the everyday man and woman with an almost callused finish and whimsically sharp edges. The dispenser almost laughs at its predecessors and successors design as it maintains its poise and body as a model for all! Finally, we address the bargain, AKA… the “price”. Two for $11.99. It’s cheap. No really. This is pretty cheap. I got the “two-for” so I could give a needy admin assistant an x-mas present down the road. Yes, I know it’s February, this is also a 250 word review on a tape dispenser – thank you corporate life. [...]
