Abstract: A tape dispensing device dispenses and cuts tape to permit taping of elevated areas without a ladder or low areas without bending or kneeling. The device includes a first handle having an upper end and a lower end. A planar guard is pivotally coupled to the first handle. A retention spool is coupled to the guard wherein the retention spool is configured for holding a tape roll. A dispensing spool is coupled to the guard in spaced relationship to the retention spool. The dispensing spool is configured for abutting a back side of tape extending from the tape roll. The tape is dispensed onto a surface by rolling the dispensing spool against the surface with the tape being positioned between the dispensing spool and the surface. A cutting assembly is coupled to the guard and configured to selectively cut the tape extending from the tape roll.
