 Works as promised!Dec 05, 2005
By Surya Yalamanchili
"Surge"
Wow. This is a great labeler. It is so handy (literally). It is easy to walk around with if you have frequent things to label. I can even enter information on it one-handed!
I was hesitant when buying it because the review said it wasn't intuitive...but the description of the item said it was easy to use. Well, it ends up being the latter. It is very easy to use. Even changing styles and formats worked just like other labelers.
The prior comment was correct in that it wastes a small piece of label with each print. This is because it needs to feed a little out for it's "pinchers" to grab before printing. But then it trims it for you so that you don't end up with excess "blank" label at one end. It's similar to a printer at home in that the printer can't print to the top margin and bottom margin of the paper. So no matter what you print on a printer, there is blank area at the top and bottom of the page. In this case though, it does automatically trim it for you prior to dispensing the print.
I love it.

Great industrial labelerJan 04, 2006

I use this to label wires and components in control panels and it is a very robust and well designed device. It's typical of me to print out 400+ labels per project with no problems.
If your having trouble using this device I fear you might also have trouble using a phone or counting.

Tech Must Have!Feb 25, 2008
By C. Impens
I've used this labeler for over 2 years. It's GREAT!. I bought a second one for a seprate location so I always have one handy. If you read the manual you can find how not to waste tape when printing multiple labels. You can print any kind of label for wiring, panels, or just about anything else. Go to Brothermall.com and get the flexable ID tapes for cables. If you shop around you can see how expensive labeling is so the price for the tapes is as reasonable as any other. You may want to get something cheaper for personal use but this is the best for professional quality installation. I got a Platt 507 case and customized it for carrying the labeler, 9 tape cartridges, and spare batteries. It gets great milage from the batteries too. Add some flat point tweezers to help in applying the labels so they're always straight. I recommend this labeler to all the technicians I work with and have complete faith in it. On occasions the cutter can use some cleaning with a cotton swab and alcohol to avoid a cutter error. You should press the cutter in a delibrate but not over firm motion when cutting the tape and you'll have no problems. I can't say enough positives about using this labeler.

Best label maker for discriminating usersOct 21, 2010
By G. Stahl
I have over 17 years experience working full time with audio, video, cable TV, satellite, antenna systems, phone, network, security, etc...So of course I've tried many ways to label wires. None of them truly impressed me. So when I had a house built and needed to label the wiring for my own stuff, I decided to do research and find a label maker with the features I've always wanted.
first I noted that any label less than 1 inch wide doesn't allow enough space to do typical words I wish to print. This product obviously supports 1 inch tape. Next I wanted to be able to orient the text in more orientations than I had previously experienced. This piece orients text every way I wish. Next, I wanted a label maker that doesn't needlessly waste tape as some do. This one does the trick. It lets you print as many labels as you want before cutting. You just have to set the appropriate mode for that and press a button called "feed" when you are done printing. That advances the last label enough to allow the cut to be done at the right spot. Then you cut the labels with scissors.
I've now done an extensive system in my house with a boat-load of wiring plus an additional system in my pole barn (man-cave). All wiring is labeled to my satisfaction. I will also note that none of the labels have come loose. Basically I have been completely satisfied with this product in every way. I did all this work with one set of batteries and still don't need to replace them. The first tape cassette lasted for many, many labels. I did have to get a second tape cassette to finish my pole barn system but I was not upset about that.
The only critique I would offer is that changing some of the settings typically requires a review of the manual. But overall that doesn't bother me given the very reasonable price of the label maker.
Bravo Brother!

Makes decent labels except for wires and cablesNov 16, 2009
By P. Altenburg
I have been using this unit for about 2 years now, and there are two things that I can not get past. Using the keyboard is horrible due to the A to Z layout. A QWERTY board would have been 1000 times better. I have used a variety of labels, and even the flexible ones uncurl off the wires after a month or two. Not good for labelling wires. Great for office items.
