Abstract
Spools of tape are carried on a hand tool that facilitates wrapping of the tape about the threaded end of a pipe while maintaining proper tension on the tape. The tool is designed to carry a spool that has a tubular core with a core longitudinal axis and opposed edges, spaced annular inner and outer side walls attached to opposed edges of the core longitudinal axis, and tape wound around the core between the side walls. The hand tool includes an elongated handle and a spool carrier attached to the one end of the handle for rotatably supporting a spool of tape. When used, the tool is orbited around the pipe end, with tension on the tape achieved by thumb pressure against the spool side wall to retard spool rotation.
