WT Borrow tape banjo for sheetrock

[fishnut 2,358]

I am re doing my basement apartment and I don't know anyone with a tape banjo for sheetrock. I would really appreciate if I could borrow one from someone. Ill throw in a 12 pack of beer of your liking. Im in Flemington, Hunterdon county but ill drive a bit to pick it up.

Thanks

I have seen them before but I have never had the inkling to buy one myself.  Maybe a tool rental has one?

Yeah I am sure I can rent one but I'd rather borrow one off a member if I can. I'm on a tight budget

If you can't find one, eBay has it cheaper than Home Depot.

You can do it faster by hand.  They are a waste of time.(money)

Agreed, use the self stick mesh

If doing large areas with long, straight joints, they are good to have - think corridors in a commercial building.  But it takes several joints to get the settings right. For a small project, it's not worth the clean up time.  I have one but the gas to get here would cost you more than renting one locally for sure.
