I thought the same as you for years. My hubby bought a 'rip-off' of this on ebay. The first one was cracked [oh, it also came with 12 rolls of tape] so he contacted the guy. He sent another one..AND with more tape!!! I couldnt figure out how the hell to load the thing, picture instructions, no words and FINALLLY hubby figured it out. Might be because mine is a 'knock off' but the tape doesnt always want to stick to the paper and dear god...it IS strong tape too! But,I am getting used to mine and DO love it for the fact that you dont have to change the tape ever 5 minutes!!! Have fun...sorry this was soo long!! LOL
My fav too-I have saved a lot of money not buying all those little adhesive applicators! I just have to remember to order more before I run out-I can't find it in any of the stores around here.
Scrappy tool must have #3 is the Scotch ATG Pink Adhesive Applicator Gun. So, so, so many people SWORE that the Scotch ATG was their FAVORITE adhesive applicator. But it was big & red & a little heavy, so I stayed away. Well, when Scotch came out with their slightly less industrial PINK ATG and I found it at a bargain price, I figured I would see what all the fuss was about. THERE IS FUSS FOR GOOD REASON!!! This is THEE VERY BEST adhesive applicator I have ever used! As well as, THEE VERY BEST ADHESIVE I have ever used! 3 major reasons why I love the Scotch Pink ATG & Adhesive: #1: STICKY, STICKY, STICKY--my pages do not fall apart, like they have with other adhesive & the Scotch adhesive for the Pink ATG can adhere to MANY, MANY different surfaces, good for almost any type of sticking you need to do. #2: EASY TO USE APPLICATOR that does not break--to use, pull the trigger and press down & pull towards your body. Simple, right? #3: REFILLS THAT LAST A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME!! I think this is my favorite, the refills are reasonably priced, do not use a ton of plastic (environmentally friendly!) or take up a ton of space if you like to buy in bulk, and even if you are an adhesive hog like me (I have to have adhesive on the perimeter of every piece or everything I put on my pages), they still last a long time. The only complaint I have is that by the time I need to refill the applicator I have forgotten how to do it! Luckily, there are cool little picture diagrams on the inside of the applicator to remind you how to refill :)
