Delko Elite Metal Banjo Taper

Very nice put together unit very durable.

It didn't work out like I thought it would. It was difficult to roll out. I liked the double sided handles.

made a world of difference when muddling.

Delko could have sent me an empty box and I would want my money back less than I dio for the actual product. I've never had a banjo that was so difficult to use. I not sure what is wrong with this thing, but I HATE this banjo. I thought it would be a step up when my plastic Homax banjo was stolen, but I've never been so wrong. Using this banjo has been the most unpleasant experience of my entire career as a drywall professional. Do not buy this product. I wish I had never used it. I'm pretty sure I could have taped this house with the a musical banjo and had better results and hated the process less.The tape pulls through the mud long before the banjo is empty. When using it on corners the mud falls to one side and doesn't coat half the tape. When trying cut your tape, getting it to cut in the right place is completely impossible. If you want a banjo you don't have to slap, get the plastic ones. This one sucks.

Our church is doing flood relief and rebuilding homes for free after a 1,000 year flood. None of us are drywall pros and have been learning as we've been going. This was our first try at tools other than pans and knives. Love this banjo. It does take a little time to figure out how thin your mud needs to be and trial and error to figure out where to set the knob controlling how much mud is applied. Works great in corners too. Very well made product.

I have one of these that I purchased in the past, however I am so disappointed in this one as it leaks mud, the bottom portion does not have a clip like the top portion and so the mud leaks thru the bottom. The previous one I purchased has a clip on the top and the bottom. I am not happy with this purchase.
