Episode 228 - Pink ATG Gun Info (Scrapbooking)

[burgbabe2012]

Where did you get yours because i looked it up and it was $56.55?

[debistogs]

The difference is the tape, not the dispenser. The brown tape isn't acid free & alot cheaper than the white rolls of tape. I have 2 of the ATG's & use both tapes for different projects. The white rolls roll off alot smoother.

I have had my ATG gun for about 2 years and I love it ,it is the red one brought from the framing company on line. I have never had any problem with it it glide very smoothly. I to am wondering why such price difference?

[blueangelemmy]

Just got mine @ Michael's. MSRP is $39.99 with 72 yrds of tape., orignal 72 yrds of tape is $10.00 I used a 50% off tape. Got a new ATG gun with tape for $20, and another 72 yrds for $5. not bad.

[nursezed]

Thanks for the review! I was lost, but now I'm found :) I'm going to buy one right now!

[MappingWonderland]

@ginacraftycrafter - Yes! My tape doesn't seem to want to stay on the fron rubber roller. This is my first ATG, so when I tried to push it back on, the paper backing ripped, and when I tried to restart it on the winder at the back, it got all doubled over and crumpled. I guess the problem is I didn't have enough patience with the mechanics, but the ATG's in a drawer, and I'm back to using liquid adhesives . . . ;o(

[Myladybugs611]

I absolutely love my new ATG gun! Once you get the hang of it the size of it doesn't intimidate you. Now I just have to find out where I can buy cheap refills! Anyone know?

[blueangelemmy]

@Myladybugs611 Michaels, with Coupons! Just got a full 72 yard refil for $5

[ginacraftycrafter]

do you have any problem with the tape sliding off to to the left?

[LTempelis]

It is a great product that is finally in the stores!!! Check out the new how to load videos on the new facebook page. Advanced tape glider

[sgalvan2]

I Just got my ATG and I love it so much.....I'm new to scrapping, but I can say that I will become a pro shortly. I love it!!!!

[deecanta]

mine is tough to open too. I do love it, though.

[momoof2]

Awww I remember when your 714 was "born"!!! lol

great tips.

thanks for sharing.

Companies can lower the price point just to be more competitive in the market. They might have lowered it to increase sales volume. If they see the potential to make more profits on volume at the lower price point, they'll do it. They also could have found a lower price supplier for the materials to make the product or assemble the product and then passed the cost savings on to customers. Just curious, was it "made in China"?

[MamawCindy]

I can't wait to get one. Thanks Robyn, for the video. :)

[BearyWishes]

I'm in Ontario Canada and I got mine in the mail from Custom Crops yesterday !!!! Yeah!!! Love it !!!!

[Cindylee29]

I got mine at Custom Crops as well,i can't wait until it gets here! Who knew that a Tape Runner could make someone SO excidet like i am!! :)

[GmaJulie2]

You came out with this video just in time for me. THANKS!! I was going to buy an ATG gun and I bought mine online from Custom Crops as well for like 29.99 WITH 2 rolls of tape, so what an awesome deal!! Thank you Robyn for being such a thoughtful person to do your videos on subjects like this!

[LiveLaughScrap]

Thanks for the comparison Robyn. I should be getting mine this week or next. I have the ATG-50 (I think) from The Tape Depot and have loved it. But I couldn't pass this up. Glad to know there is not much of a difference.

[CraftJunkieToo]

Thx Robyn! I will put this in my next shopping list to Michael's. For some reason my ATG has never worked smoothly. :)

[littledott1943]

I paid 79.99 for the ATG 714 from Seven Kids and that was with no tape. That is over $50. cheaper. Boy what a deal. Pam

[MzPixelFetish]

I am getting on of these very SOON! I wanted one for SO long, and I am now getting a pink one! Glad I waited! <3 Does the glue REALLY last that long?

[TerTerH78]

I ordered the pink ATG online and can't wait for it to show up! Thanks for the video - I'll have to check out Karlee's video!

[flohillrennie]

Thanks Robyn after watching you paint your ATG I was wrapped when I realised Custom Crops was selling them and they ship internationally. I have a yellow ATG 700 but it is exactly the same as the new pink one. no weight difference and both work really well. I just want to put different size tape in each. But I love watching your videos.

[angelofincantation]

Thanks for the comparison! I really want to get one and my BF decided he would get it for my birthday! YAY! I told him to wait for a 50% off coupon but he said the 40% off is fine. Love him!

[KATTRACK51]

It's probably just like everything else. The company is saving money by making a cheaper product/changed manufacturer.

[jljerivano]

Thanks for the tip! : )

[garity3]

I am wondering if I am ever going to get mine from Custom Crops. I know they were delayed; but, it seems like a lot of people have received them already. Didn't know that Michaels was going to sell them. Thanks for the comparison!!!

[papillionbella]

@garity3 i ordered one from custom crops in june & just received mine last thursday, 8/12

[ownhomedog]

@garity3 - i just got mine on August 10th - i had ordered mine from custom crops on june 16 - was 56 days!!! in the meantime i had ordered a tape gun from mysherricrafts and it has been great! not sure when i will get my pink atg put into action -but at least i have it now

[punkneck76]

[lovescrapbooking94]

Thanks so much for this video! I've been waiting for someone to do a comparison.

If anyone is wondering where you buy them, I got mine at Michaels with a 40% off coupon! Woohoo!

[PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

Hi Robyn, Thanks for the comparison. I'm still deciding whether or not to even buy one of these. LOL I just got the Glue Glider Pro and am not very happy with it. I'm glad to see the price on these are lower now. I've been contemplating (procrastinating) about getting one for months! LOL Anyway, thanks again for a great video. Love all your stuff! Take care. Hugs, Pat :)

[mississchic]

Great comparison video. I like these types of videos. They help a lot. Thanks.

[magiksoks]

i just bought my first ATG at Michael's for $34.99 but of course i used my coupon so it only cost 20.00 anyway i'm happy!!! i've been using the glue glider pro but the refill tape cost 10.00 and the new scotch refill only cost $6 for 2 great saving guys!!!!

[amylucimar]

@magiksoks hi! where did you see this awesome price for the refills?

thanks.

[Chris416ward]

Thanks Robyn....I got one for my mom as a birthday present....shhhh don't tell 931thumbs...lol...Hugs, Christina...

[ejnmom]

thanks for all the info....i ordered mine and am waiting anxiously for it, it will be my first one right now i have a glue glider and its ok !!!

[Ultimatecruegirl]

The difference is that they have made the parts with a lighter weight plastic. That is why your older gun feels heavier because it is made from heavier duty parts, and why the lady didn't give you a straight answer. The framing industry uses these guns day in day out. Scotch figures that scrapbookers don't need such a heavy duty gun as they don't think they put them through as much use.

I say they're wrong. But time will tell if I am right or not.

[robynstamps]

You are right! I use mine A TON each day!

[debistogs]

@robynstamps The difference is the tape, not the ATG guns. The white tape is acid free & the brown isn't & is harder to get off the roll. I have 2 of the ATG guns & use both tapes for different projects.

[destamperjo]

Thank you for the comparison. I am glad there really isn't any real difference between the new model and the one sold for framing. A friend of mine has purchased this for me as an early birthday gift. I am so excited.

[td2596]

I got the original ATG about 6 mos ago and I struggle opening it. In fact, one of the tabs on the top of the cover broke, so be careful...

[scrappinsusie]

I had the same questions and the owner of my LSS said the reason its cheaper is because it is made of a cheaper plastic. I am still getting the new pink one...i cant justify over $50 for the 714.

[931thumbs]

I'm getting one for my B Day.....can't wait...thanks Robyn for this vid, I was wondering what the difference was....Carol

[loganscraftymomma]

I got the new one also and its so hard to open compared to my old one!! Love it though!

[duffer9904]

I cant wait to get mine from Custom Crops....it will be my 1st ATG gun...and I went to Findtape.com and found the refills there..check it out!!

[ccsportboyluver]

im getting the atg gun!
