It skips mud in some spots and works really poorly. I wouldn’t recommend buying it. The company also refuses to exchange the bazooka, and they won’t even respond to my questions
I use the 180 in the angles only. Whole house and it didn't wear out, super durable. A finer grit might even be better for final sand. The foam is a bit firmer than 3M and I like it 👍
Set up your foam back sandpaper of choice exactly right for the most crispy apexes...no black marks from typical aluminum sanders!
Some trimming of pad to fine tune required. Not sure how long the rubber will last.
Spotter leaks from the back end from day 1,,, the connecting arm from the pole to the spotter is very flimsy and weak. Wouldn't recommend this tool
Its a great case and works great can fit more than the taper in it and its lightweight
Super cheap knife the Columbia name falls off in and hour. Feels like a cheap bench mark knife and the metal end to push in screws sucks.
Pretty awesome knife kinda feel like you gotta keep it super clean of it will Jam up on you. I keep it in the package it come with it's a heavy duty platic one to keep it clean. But it will be nice not to have to cut a plastic knife down to do the super stuff anymore
Great concept. Defintly a quality made piece, of plastic. Did the trick for the lower area of the vaulted ceiling, but the high peak angle was too much for it. I was defiantly hoping it would conform , butt, she didn’t. I do think the price tag is a weeee bit steep
Used it only once so far but seems to work well, smooth and consistent
Considering the price I was surprised by how good it was. A couple of ounces heavier than my old Columbia or my TapeTech one. The weight makes it that much faster to roll
My new favourite pole. Easy to adjust on the fly. Easy to take apart and clean.
The strap is a tad uncomfortable without a glove. A little bit heavy in the back end when full of mud. Still much faster than taping by hand. Everything comes apart nice to clean. The corner roller is a game changer. Wish i had one years ago.
It’ll get tape on the wall with mud….. sometimes.
The same mud consistency I use with my Northstar taper ends up leaving loads of pockets under your tapes.
Never seen this many bubbles from a taper in my life. Parts availability is very limited as well.
Spend the money on a more reputable brand is my best advice. Or stick with a banjo/tape puller for a quicker process.
ordered 11 x 4.5. got 11.5 x 4.5
After corner finishing a few bedrooms with a knife I wanted to know if there was an easier way and found this. I love it. Personally, I think you need the 3 corner finisher sizes as they are a little unforgiving to poorly built walls and ceilings (ie. not 90 deg corners) - you might find the first 2 finishers wanting to leave a harsh edge - this is easy to feather out with a knife, but the 3rd finisher usually feathers it out.
The time saved is enourmous, you can do all corners at once and clean up where corners meet afterward.
As this is my first auto taper i am very disappointed that there was no paperwork, owners manual or parts oist available for this tool.
