The BMP21 has kinda sucky cable labels, IMO. -Steve On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 9:46 PM, Mike Lyon <mike.lyon@gmail.com> wrote:
I bought the Brady BMP21 handheld labeler from Frys about a month ago. It takes 6x AA batteries i believe. You can buy the power cable and case for it if you want. I love it so far.

Hey everyone,
Many moons ago I worked in a place where we had a Brady LS2000 wire labeler. So long as the supplies were fresh it was great.
In the storage unit I have a Brady TLS2200. Supplies are expensive, but it works reasonably well. Unfortunately the battery is shot (gotta replace that).
It seems to me that as cheap as the Brother P-Touch type labelers have gotten that there might be some product by (Brady|Dymo|Brother|etc) that everyone uses and recommends these days which is (a) cheap enough that they can be deployed en masse rather than treated as a scarce resource, (b) hopefully runs on standard (such as AAA) battery types, and (c) has reasonably priced supplies.
Labeling cables is mostly what I'm interested in. The el-cheapo p-touch seems adequate to putting hostnames on machines.
Thoughts?
P-Touch with TZe tapes for me. I have stuff on the roof labeled with TZe tape and they still look new after about a year of exposure Disclaimer: I'm in the high desert.
