5.0 out of 5 stars Works great on baseboards and trim
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024
I saw online videos of a different brand painters tape dispenser that is much more expensive and not available on Amazon. I decided to give this one a try and I was thoroughly pleased with it. It's very easy to use and allowed me to tape off my baseboards and door trim in no time.

What's great is by holding it against the wall while running on top of the baseboard, it ensures the tape to wall gap is consistent. I then ran a small bead of caulk along the tape and painted the area while the caulk was wet, then pulled the tap (while paint/caulk is wet) and it create near perfect straight lines!

The amount of tape provided with the item is a decent amount. I was able to do around 3/4 of a standard room's baseboards.

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!

This is the easiest taper I have ever used. Stays close to the corner and sticks it down too.

Great tool for the below average painter. It really speeds up the process of taping off trim before you paint.

3.0 out of 5 stars For Production, no go, for a small project, try it
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2022
I bought this initially to see it in person as Ive been a painter for over 21 years for boutique commercial and residential jobs. I constantly am trying to find ways to improve efficiency. I got it, and immediately submitted a return. The tape housing is flimsy. You can squeeze it and the white plastic frame to hold the tape flexes. Poor quality. Secondly, there is a plastic lip on both sides of the tape to guid it, that’s an issue for when you’re trying to make tight tape lines agains surfaces. Thirdly, it won’t compensate for imperfections on casings, trim, moldings etc, and you end up having to fiddle and re adjust to much that it’s not worth it. This would only work in perfect scenarios, which is never the case. If you’re not a great taper and need a solution as a homeowner, than sure this is a great solution, but with its few flaws it might prove to be frustrating at some points. Thanks for your time and good luck!

This gadget really does work. I have RA and absolutely hate taping prior to painting. I bought this and didn’t have high expectations. Well I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see that taping was a breeze. The way it hugs the wall and helps guide the painters tape along the wall is impressive. I was done so fast. It allowed me to get started with painting my walls much faster. I was done painting so fast that my husband was impressed. Best gadget I ever bought for painting. Now to stock up on the painters tape.
