![]() Additionally, the standard 2-5/16' tape used here in the US does not 'scrape' the inside walls of the tool so between 10 - 20% of the mud never leaves the box and you must embed the tape into this floating waste mud prior to refilling. Every subsequent refill the mud (with standard tape) you need to first pull out a tool' s -length of tape, then load, then pull tape again to avoid the tape sogging out and tearing inside the tool. The first time: load the reel, drop it into it' s cradle, pull the tape into the feed at the roller and then press tape down into bottom of tool while holding the end at the roller, then you load mud and go. If you are not running very quickly the tape sogs out and breaks inside the tool, which brings us to. Double-edged sword however as if you are running standard paper tape the higher water content quickly compromises the tape' s strength. compared to a bazooka you need to run soup in the box to allow the tape to pull through the tool smoothly.

This is damning as it costs me 2 - 3 minutes per joint *********Tape drags along the joint behind you, requiring a significant learning curve to basically guess how much tape to pre-feed before you pull. guide roller (black roller located 'under' toothed drum) limits angle of application such that I find it difficult to start from an inside corner without hand feeding tape lever action jams easily: the cutting tool lever tends to remain free and smooth while the inside corner tool jams without regular inter-use cleaning (i.e., while I am taping) and requires copious amounts of cleaning & lube. carries more mud than standard banjo, maybe about as much as a bazooka I' m going for 2/5 stars with 0 stars being the experience I would expect from a Home Depot metal banjo for $60 (USD) and 5 stars being the experience of using a well maintained Columbia, TapeTech or similar bazooka. I purchased this tool after seeing it in action in the hands of numerous outfits on Youtube and finally one of the local finish crews I sometimes partner with had one. Haven' t used it yet but looking for in working with it Clean up and repair on this item look pretty straight forward.
