1 minute auto-dispensing tape

 by derte84
The purpose of this project is to modify a cellotape in order to avoid the need of a scissor. In fact this design allows the tape to dispenses itself. This design was inspired by a similar one made by Zhichuan Tang.
It's super simple and super useful. Watch the video for an example.

Nice, but you waste a long time pulling on the strip (beginning of video). Another trick is needed here. Or buy a scotch tape

Wouldn't some Scotch tape be easier?

And more expensive?
JamesRPatrick in reply to JayefuuSep 3, 2010. 1:44 PM
Maybe...

Neat. Good idea, so long as you don't mind having increasingly shorter pieces.

You can have longer pieces if you want. It depends on where you keep your fingers

This is a good prank if you don't make the cuts obvious. One good deep cut and enemies are made.
