There is really nothing super-special that I can write about this tape dispenser. But the one thing I like about this one is that it weighs nearly two pounds and it's not filled with sand, so there won't be a mess to clean up if/when it falls off my work bench. The weight inside the body of the dispenser is a solid piece. As you could probably guess, it's made in China but it has been a great addition to my veneering setup and it has made taping faster/easier for me.

You can find similar dispensers online for about 15 bucks, but I include a roll of our clean-release elastic tape with the dispenser.

It has a foam rubber base which would probably prevent it from sliding around, but since my work bench always has a fine coating of dust on top, that makes the anti-slip base a bit less valuable. The color of the dispenser may vary from what is shown in picture on this page.

Installation of tape roll is easy. Slide the plastic dispenser wheel inside the core of the blue tape roll. Then locate the left and right channels inside the tape dispenser cradle and set the pins of the plastic wheel into the L-channel. The last step (and this is important) is to press the roll firmly downward and forward on the dispenser so it snaps in place at the forward edge in the L-channel. You'll feel it when it drops into the proper location.
