Towel-Holder Tape Dispenser
A paper-towel holder conveniently stores a variety of construction tapes.
A length of 2-in.-diameter PVC pipe fit into a paper-towel dispenser holds a whole variety of common construction tapes. Holders that come with their own tubes work just as well. I keep scissors between the holder and the wall of my work van for extra-precise cuts.

My problem with this set-up is that I'm usually applying the tape somewhere besides my van, so I'd need to take the roll of tape out of the holder. My solution is a bungee cord through the rolls, hooked to one of the cutouts in the body of my van. 2 problems with that- the necklace of tapes always bangs loudly against the van wall and the particular roll I want is always in the middle. Also the sides of the rolls stick to each other.
