DELKOtaper drywall taping tool - the Delko Taping Tool and Internal Corner Attachment Package enables contractors to finish flat joints, internal corners and square set with one taping tool.…

My husband used this for a side job, and it made a world of difference. If you’ve ever done drywall the slow way, you’ll appreciate how much this tool speeds things up. Weight & Build: The tool has a decent weight to it—it feels sturdy and professional, not like a flimsy plastic DIY toy. Because it holds both the mud and the tape, it can get a bit heavy when fully loaded, but that weight actually helps with keeping a steady, consistent flow against the wall. Performance: It expedited the taping process significantly. It allows you to apply the compound and tape at the same time, which cut down on the labor-intensive part of the project. Even if you aren't a professional contractor, the time saved makes it worth the investment. Ease of Use: While there is a bit of a learning curve to get the flow right, once my husband got the hang of it, the job moved along much faster than manual taping. It feels durable and handled the job without any jamming or mechanical issues. Verdict: If you have a room (or a whole side job) to tape, this is a must-have tool to get it done in half the time. AND it makes for easy cleanup!

Wasn’t sure at first, but this thing really came through. Made my first drywall taping job way easier than I expected. It applies mud and tape together smoothly and saves a ton of time. I liked how clean the finish came out without bubbles or messy joints. Worth every penny.

So let me first say it does save time when used properly. By that I mean though it works well with quick set compound but you must make sure it is thoroughly mixed. It can’t be contaminated with bits of dried mud. It will stiffen up the flow and jam up the tape feed. I do recommend it but if you’re a novice or DIYer like me stick to using premixed joint compound and thin it out with a small amount of water. Mix what will fit in the hopper at a time. Be sure you thoroughly clean the unit between uses even between loads. I can’t emphasize this enough that there can’t no be any hardening compound left behind. The tape will not slide smoothly and it will poss you off. Definitely beats mudding, applying tape and scraping off an over abundance of compound. Also, I feel it is more oriented towards right handed people being that the strap is on the right side. Of course I’m pretty uncoordinated with my left hand. I hope this review helps prepare you for a better user experience.

So for the money it’s ok. The first time using it one of the knobs broke and it was used per the instructions. It is definitely a pain to use if you don’t know what your doing. Found it was almost easier to use it like a left handed person to make it work better. It’s not to bad to clean up but just have to be careful due to the fragile ness of the products parts.

This is the second banjo I have used. My last one was metal, very heavy, and leaked everywhere. I am a carpenter and remodeler by trade and typically like to sub out my rock jobs. This job was borderline sized so I chose to do it myself. Considerd a bazooka, but just too expensive. So I tried this banjo. It was a night and day difference from my last one. It worked great. Anyone who complained just doesn't know what they are talking about and should just not do drywall. Yes, it's messy. But drywall is messy! Can't avoid it. But not as messy as tape and a knife. Yes it pulls off wall. But all banjos do. It's called tension. You have a full hopper of mud pulling against your tape. Just put your finder on the tape as you start and jump your hand along for about 6 or 8 feet and then it will stay. Completed a job that would have taken about 12 hours by hand in about 6! Definitely worth it. And the inside corner tool is a huge bonus!!

Does not hold suction DO NOT BUY!!!

Worth $85 for the DIY'er with occasional drywall jobs. Wouldn't pay much more and definitely not for the pro that has a lot of drywall to do. Be sure to dilute your compound when using this. I filled a 3.5 qt pale (small bucket at Lowes/Home Depot) 2/3 full of Plus3 compound (from a larger 4 gal pale) then added 8 oz of water and mixed with a drill/mixer. Could possibly have used a little more water but this did the job. Overall Recommended, definitely saved time!!

This tool is simply amazing. I had been working and wrestling with tape for weeks by hand, got half way through the job and found out about this tool. Got it in the mail and was able to finish the entire rest of the job in less than 4 hours. Im using this for a commercial office and it does the job well. As another reviewer noted, there are no instructions, but Youtube has great instructional videos. To get it going good you need to run the tape through the middle of the banjo and put your watered down mud on both sides of the tape. This enables a nice coat on the bottom and top of the tape for when you go at it with a knife to smooth the paper out. I set my guage to 4 to allow enough mud to flow out and found that to be a good number to work with. Also, it does get a little more messy than with a knife, but the job is also faster. I wore gloves to cut down on cleanup and also used a sponge with a brilo pad attached to clean the banjo afterwards. Very quick to clean.

works well .. saved me so much time

Permet de faire les bandes murales et plafond de manière régulière, propre et sans cloques. J'ai fait 3 pièces mur et plafond et grâce à cet appareil je pense avoir gagné 30% de temps et autant de produit. Seul bémol: la roulette d'angle qui, pour mon cas, n'a pas été pratique, j'ai tout fait avec la plate. Pour le plafond prévoir un échafaudage sur toute la longueur du plafond ou des échasses de plaquiste car on ne peut pas monter et descendre d'un escabeau par exemple.

Sehr gute

Es buena maquina, trabajan bien a pesar de que sea plástico.

Très pratique Outil solide et facile d’utilisation
