Abstract: A device for dispensing and applying adhesive tape, for example drywall tape, from rolls as provided. The device comprises a frame consisting of a pair of spaced parallel arms connected to an elongated handle parallel thereto. A roller intermediate their free ends and the handle, between the arms supports a roll of the tape. An applicator roller is positioned transversely between the arms near their free ends to draw tape from the tape roll and to roll and press the tape, during use, into final position. The device further comprises a blade operatively positioned near the free ends of the arms and facing forwardly with respect to the arms, the blade being positioned transversely across them above the applicator roller.
