They do them on the net bout 30 notes though! Some place called all wall.com do them I've seen them not got one though cause the crap tape I always seem to get fraying would clog that up in 5 mins!

I got one about 15 years back when we did a fair bit of plastering to be honest I used it once coz I thought they were sh1te

First one I had years ago had a serrated blade so It used to shred the tape rather then cut it.
The marshalltown one just takes a normal board knife blade so the cuts are always neat.
You also have to use decent scrim aswell, cheap shite that frays would be like pulling teeth.

Yeah this thing has a serrated blade and it snags at it

The new one works a lot better with the knife blade, it has a little grub screw so you can change the blade quickly.

Here's a tip for fraying tape.
When you open it take your knife and lightly cut the scrim down the side every quarter from the top to the cardboard tube on both sides of the roll.
Hope that makes sense, it works everything.
