Are they terrible or am I using it wrong?

      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…
