Are they terrible or am I using it wrong?
You must either have a bad one or you’re using it wrong. The one we have is amazing.

I actually have git aliased to my GitHub repo so this is very hard for me to type.
They’re less bad if you use quality tape.
100% and figuring out how tight that tension bolt needs to be for the tape you are using.
Probably using them wrong. These things are great if you have a lot of boxes to tape and need it done fast.
That or really bad tape was what I was thinking.
Where I work, we use the cheapest tape known to man. It’s pretty much 50/50 if they work or you spend 30 seconds fixing it. Helps if you adjust the tensioner…
If the tape itself sucks and doesn’t actually stick to anything, it really doesn’t matter if the tape holder is good or cheap. Most of the time, the real issue with the dispenser is the blade has become dull and won’t properly cut. But if the dispenser is of decent quality, the blade is easily replaced and/or sharpened. Not that any employer actually spends time or money doing basic maintenance of their own equipment…
A good one of these makes moving much easier and less painful and aggravating than the cheap ones or the plastic things. Just don’t use it too long, take breaks if you’re making a lot of boxes at once. You can stress your hand and wrist using it.
There’s also a technique to it, which you can find examples of online. Try a few ways and see which works for you. Also practice helps. 😁
Cheap ones are s##t, worn out ones are also s##t. Adjusting the tension on the tape roller is a fine art as batch to batch the glue can change.
God I need to get out more !
You can say “shit” on the Internet.
They’re being brainwashed by corpo social media to self-censor, a necessary 1984 step.
Edit: Fuck.
Is it brainwashing, or adapting to circumvent actual censorship? People say “unalive” because “kill” will hide your content from the algorithm, if it doesn’t remove it entirely.
