I have actually used one of those. When I saw wing mailer, I thought it sounded familiar.

Worked exactly the same as the one I used. Beautiful job once again. 😁👍

Then we sell the chips and get a few bucks back.

My grandmother used to have a tape dispenser very similar to that. The reservoir where you poured the water in usually held a wet sponge so you didn't have any spillage. Great vid.

love the wire wheel on wire wheel action...made me laugh out loud!!!!

I used one of these is the 70's working in a newspaper mailroom, addressing individual papers with labels that were preprinted and the glue was like wall paper paste. It was an art to use one and faster than you might imagine..

seen quite a few of your other vids, lost it when you grabbed that ginormous wrench for that tiny nut, hilarious! well done!

To speak no words, and to convey such humour and wit is a scarce and rare skill. Love this channel!

Is this the tape dispenser you get, when you achieve Master Level at the packing department?!?!?!

So this what happens when an over qualified engineer is given a simple task, and a blank check.
