It features an aircraft-grade aluminum body that has been fully anodized for corrosion resistance. The hinged lid has a high quality urethane rubber seal and industrial-quality latches. The banjo also features an adjustable flow gate with an integrated tape cutter as well as a comfortable, soft-grip handle.PRODUCT FEATURES - Aircraft-grade aluminum body - Composite tape roll holder that won’t shrink or crack over time - Adjustable flow gate with integrated tape cutter - Heavy-duty, soft-grip top handle - Adjustable hand strap with thumb rest for better control on the wall - Hinged lid - Proprietary urethane rubber anti-leak seal - Industrial-quality latches

Completely changed my perspective on drywall. I did my gym and with over 30 large joints for the first time I have zero bubbles in the tape. Must need

  • 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. ... show more

  • 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. ... show more
