Know before you buy
Yes, the SimplyTear is designed to fit a wide range of roll sizes, including standard, jumbo, mega, giant, and family XL rolls.
The base is weighted specifically to provide stability, allowing you to tear a single sheet with one hand without the holder sliding or tipping over.
The holder features an internal resistance mechanism that keeps the roll from spinning freely, ensuring you get a clean tear every time without excess paper unspooling.
Not at all. The arm is spring-activated and pivots open, allowing you to slide the empty core off and a new roll on quickly and easily.
The brushed stainless steel finish is designed to be durable and modern, though like most metallic surfaces, it may show occasional fingerprints depending on how often it is handled.
