The tape is clear, robust and well-glued. Transparent versions are of course always the fancier, but more costly for packaging. What drives the price too high for me here even more in height, is certainly the dispenser. I find this quite unnecessary. While he works, should be disposed of jetz upon exhaustion of the tape also, since there is no spare rolls, still fit other brands. The dispenser is (except for the "demolition-rack") made of plastic and slightly wobbly. It thus justifies the price is not necessarily, for which one of the other brands with luck even get more than one role. 3 stars.
