A tape dispenser comprising:
- a body plate providing three attachment points in a triangular arrangement;
- a first attachment point of the three attachment points operatively associated with a tape hub in such a way that the tape hub is rotatably and telescopically connected thereto;
- a cutting handle pivotably connected about the first of the three attachment points;
- the cutting handle providing a nesting beak having a mouth;
- a cutting blade disposed upward and inward of a center of each of the second attachment point and third attachment point of the three attachment points;
