Thermo-Cut Tape Gun
Engadget doesn't do a whole lot of tool-related news and when they do they tend towards the strange and gadgetty. This one's no exception: witness the 'thermo-cut tape gun.'
The gun uses heat instead of a blade for cutting the tape. Not sure why this is a better solution, but this site seems to think it will make for an easier cut. Hmm, not sure.

Thanks to my geeky husband, I own one of these. It's fun when you first try it, but after that it's kind of silly. Maybe if you had lots and lots of packages to seal, AND you had an aversion to the sound of tape being cut by a blade...
Posted by: Claudia B. at April 23, 2006 1:18 PMGreat idea as I have always had marginal luck with regular packaging tape guns. It does work but has one big problem. You cannot use standard size rolls of packaging tape. I bought the Thermal Tape gun then went to Officemax and bought a bunch of rolls of packaging tape and guess what, they were too big for the Innodesk Thermal Tape gun. Repeated emails to Innodesk Customer service were never answered. My recommendation, wait until someone makes a copy that works with standard size rolls of packaging tape!
