The present invention is a portable manual tape dispens- ing apparatus for use with a stretchable adhesive tape such as of the type that progressively detackifies when stretched. The ap- paratus (10) has a supply spool (14) for carrying a supply of the tape and a handle (12) connected to the supply spool for man- ually grasping and manipulating the apparatus. A mechanism (16) for stretching the tape is arranged and configured to receive the tape from the supply spool. The stretching mechanism has a stretching zone defined between first and second engagement surfaces. The first (32) and second (34) engagement surfaces frictionally engage the tape and move at disparate longitudinal speeds to stretch the tape when the stretching mechanism is activated. A manually operative mechanism is provided for se- lectively activating the stretching mechanism so an operator can remove the tape from the supply in a substantially detackified stretched condition when the stretching mechanism is activated. The manually operative mechanism also permits the operator to remove the tape from the supply in an unstretched condition.
