Why Choose the Sato Kendo 22?

Sato invented the hand labeler in 1962, and the Kendo 22 carries that six-decade pedigree into a modern, refined tool. Two things set it apart in daily use: the print quality — dark, uniform, and legible in a way budget guns cannot match — and the capsule ink roller system, which ends inky fingers forever. Add the fully open loading path, the included spare ink roller, and remarkably low running costs, and the Kendo 22 makes a compelling case as the best value one-line labeler on the market. It is a best-seller worldwide for good reason.
