Yep Martin, a metal Dymo gun that cost me about 30 quid goodness knows
how many years ago. I may have replaced the wheel once, but it's still
something I use regularly, but not an item I'd fancy dropping on my
foot!! (smile).
I've seen the plastic variety, and it's ok, but give me the metal gun
any day of the week.

HI Jackie:
Metal dymo gun? Wow! I found those always broke the plastic wheel in
the end, the plastic versions, which are now available are more robust
imho.
Hehe yes I use those still for labelling cd's and dvds. Indeed, did
today.
