Homax Drywall Tape and Mud Dispenser Tool, Silver and Black

Worked great really sped up taping drywall for and inexperienced diy drywaller

Amazing product

Hard to pull tape through but over all nice product

I have a marshaltown banjo I like this one better much easier to tape without stilts. What makes it better is the feeding wheels. Only down side is you need thin mud and it will drip out the back where tape goes in. Overall it's a solid banjo for the clams.

As a diy-er this banjo made my setting sheetrock tape go 5x faster! Make sure you have the mud very wet and set the knob to 3 or 4. Sure it is messy but does a great job. Keep scissors with you to cut the tape off and have a strong arm to hold this thing. When you get the hang of it the job will really go much faster.

It’s not the easiest thing to clean and it’s definitely not the highest quality, but for the price that’s not a problem. The only actual functional drawback I had with this was the amount of time I needed to spend reloading with mud. If you’re thinking about using this for the occasional remodeling taper it’s perfect for that but I’d recommended investing in a mud pump to help reload faster and cleaner. Definatley do not buy this if you’re a full time drywaller. Just bite the bullet and grab a big one. Your back will thank you.

I'm an experienced amateur and have done quite a lot of hanging drywall but not much finishing. This was my first experience with a banjo taper and after some trial and error this thing was a great timesaver. My two tips-- first, thin your mud! Mix the mud with some water to get an even consistency like pudding. If it's too thick you won't be able to pull the tape out. Second is pretty obvious, but just clean your tools carefully. The plastic is actually pretty easy to clean even when the mud is dry, but it's still a whole lot easier if you clean the tool immediately after you're finished.

This thing is a piece of junk. Do not buy not worth it to tape doesn’t pull out easy enough so all it does is make a big mess and rip the tape.

Me dedico a esto profesionalmente, compré este ya que el que adquirí hace 7 años algún día imagino que se romperá... para mi una compra excelente, producto de calidad a un precio fantástico, no cambio de marca

this thing will save you so much time taping drywall. Be sure to thin your mud otherwise the tape will be too hard to pull through.

As a Long time professional drywaller, I bought this as a giggle. It is wonderful for DIYers, but it’s small capacity and lightweight plastic makes it unlikely to stand up on the professional job site. That said, it works wonderfully. Yes, mix the mud thin, (like cake batter) and be ready to refill often, but it really is a timesaver. Also, says on box “not intended for fiber” tape, but I have run many rolls of “fibafuse” through it with amazing results. Great product. Buy it.

Been using this model of banjo for years now. I’m a professional taper so I’d say I go through one every 2-3 years . It’s cheap and reliable . It also come with an extra dial because if it falls on its nose , the mud adaptor pushes back and breaks the mud adjustment dial. Also by experience , they should make the tape holder a bit wider and longer because new 500’ tape rolls tend to fall off the banjo using your right hand while spreading the tape. Just don’t drop it off a staircase or scissor lift because it’ll be wrecked.

Je suis déçu de la qualité du produit! Il est pesant une fois qu’il est rempli! Pas conseillé
