I never knew I could love a tape machine this much

I did some trading and got a paper tape machine....this this is AWESOME!!!! It is huge, holds rolls of paper tape and you can adjust it to cut the tape however short or long you need. It wets the tape and cuts it off in neat little strips (or long ones.) I have had more fun today sealing up my boxes....which we had over THIRTY to ship out today!!!!

Keep the knives & brushes clean, use warm water if it does not have a warmer.

The brown asphalt tape? Is it electric or manual?

Please do not overload her, I did that to an old girlfriend once, she found out that whip cream was good on banana splits. Don
Yes....and it works like a dream. The only way I could be happier with this little thing is if it somehow dropped a piece of candy out after each bit of tape.
here you go
I used those about twenty years ago. Now I have a midget with an afro. Gives me someone to talk to. Don
I have Shelby....which is somewhat the same I would imagine. [:D]
I ran one of those for a couple years, (the shipping department has all electric ones now). The tape sticks better if you fill the water bottle with warm water, and like I said, keep the knives and the brushes clean, they get gummed up with the glue off the tape and can be a PITA...A can of dry lube is your friend[;)]

But they did do a lot of shipping or parts.

Everyone should own a couple.

yep, I had to use one just like that not too long ago. I was impressed. the tape sticks way better than any other packing tape I ever used. a must-have if you run a business, and I would guess they're cheap.
A new Manual is about $400 IIRC, electric is over $1000...

My cousin's girlfriend loves to cook. We had Thanksgiving at their house this year....she was showing me her knives that she loves and went on about loving her Kitchenaid mixer.
I know other people that can't wait to show off their toys.....but a tape machine??? I am actually sitting here thinking how fun that thing is!
These are also very handy, they hold a big roll of packing tape (or two small rolls), but sit on the desk. They are heavy so they don't move. I have 4 of these at my shipping stations.

Those are great, LF...and have been around since ancient times! Well, not quite. [:D] Enjoy!

Agreed, If one misbehaves, you can grab the other one by the ankles and beat him with it.
Those afros make good scrub pads, but just twist it off at the neck and throw the rest away, because it's worthless.[:)][}:)]
