Great tool
It's awesome after you figure it out. No manual, don't lose the wing nuts. Learn about the blade adjustment... Definitely fast after the learning curve. Very sturdy and well made which is probably why the price is north of $100 photo took a half day for the flats, reinforced tape used on corners and not through the banjo.

Time saver by far!!!!
This banjo is amazing! Works smooth and isn't too heavy at all when full. This and the combination with a corner roller makes quick work with any job. I'm proud of this purchase.

Piece of junk.
Complete garbage. I've used other banjos and this is by far the worst. Small mud chamber - capacity is small.Integrated flow adjuster is trash. There is no adjustment. It's all or nothing. Doesn't disperse mud evenly so leaves bubbles. There is enough space inside that the mud flowes over the edge of the tape and collects on the lid and sides and never makes it to the tape while taping. When first starting a tape run, mud is too heavy then thins out to nothing. Not worth the time or money. Spend the money and buy a Marshalltown. Needed one quick so thought we'd try this. It still didn't show up on time so wasn't able to use it when needed. When we finally used it the return window had passed. Otherwise this would have been returned.

Quality product
Like the seals they put on this product. Helps keep the mud inside the banjo. The locking mechanism are sturdy and well designed and really enjoy the metal tape cutter on the end, works well. Overall a great product! Only negative remark I have is the weight when it's full of mud. But thats a small price to pay for all the other pros. Highly recommend this banjo and this company's products.

Decent for the price
Pretty nice BanjoThe latches are a bit finickyA 500ft roll from my supplier doesn't fit in it (commercial grade tape) the 500fters from the Depot fit in it,Meaning the commercial tape is much thicker paper vs the box store stuff

Much faster than without
Takes a bit to get setup correctly but once you figure it out it’s a fast way to tape your joints.
