Learn when and how to replace the blade on your Mountable 2" tape dispenser. Follow simple steps to keep your dispenser cutting cleanly and safely.
Quick answer
To replace the blade on your Mountable 2" tape dispenser, remove the old blade, insert the replacement blade, and secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always handle the blade carefully to avoid injury.
When to replace the blade
If your tape dispenser starts tearing tape instead of cutting cleanly, or if the blade is visibly dull or damaged, it's time for a replacement. A worn blade can also pose a safety risk because it may require more force, increasing the chance of slipping.
Replacement blades are available for the Mountable 2" Tape Dispenser models #60022 and #60023. Using the correct blade ensures a proper fit and reliable performance.
Safety first
Blades are sharp. Always work on a stable surface and keep fingers away from the cutting edge. If you have gloves, consider wearing them, but make sure they don't reduce your grip or dexterity.
Dispose of the old blade safely, preferably in a puncture-proof container, to prevent accidental cuts for you or others.
How to replace the blade
- Gather your tools: You'll need the replacement blade, a screwdriver (if the blade is held by screws), and a clean, well-lit workspace. Make sure the tape dispenser is empty or the tape roll is removed to access the blade area easily. Check the dispenser for any screws or clips that secure the blade before starting.
- Remove the old blade: Carefully unscrew or unclip the old blade. Keep the screws in a safe place. If the blade is stuck, do not force it; gently wiggle it free while supporting the dispenser body. Note the orientation of the old blade so you can install the new one the same way.
- Install the replacement blade: Position the new blade in the same orientation as the old one. Secure it with the screws or clips you removed. Tighten the screws just enough to hold the blade firmly, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the threads or crack the dispenser. After installation, test the blade with a piece of tape to ensure it cuts cleanly and the blade is secure.
