SKU: TPRO-MBP
$740.00

The Tapepro Mud Box Pro is an innovative improvement on the original model, the WMB-L Mud Box. This tool is the perfect fusion of an automatic taper and a banjo but has the advanced functional features of the automatic taper.

The Mud Box Pro is the easiest taping tool to learn to use and also remains the easiest to clean. Eliminate man hours and operator fatigue by simultaneously applying paper tape and joint compound to flat and internal angle joints. Reach high ceiling joints with ease as well. This tool can be used with 250 or 500 ft. rolls of paper tape and can be used with chemical setting compounds.

Design Features:

  • Separate creaser wheel/cutter, each operated by rear controls
  • Cut tape by pulling a handle – no need to take the tape wheel off the wall
  • Feed roller allows you to continue taping after cut-off
  • Longer tape arms for increased reach
  • New tape spool spring design to prevent bending
  • Same simple mud bath operation
  • Simple and robust design

Mud Box Pro has the same polycarbonate body as the WMB-L Model, but it also features:

  • 1 lb. lighter design, reducing operator fatigue
  • Clear section on side plates to see compound level
  • Cable sleeves to protect cables and reduce exposure to compound, and to allow a reduction of arm length/weight
  • Bracing in lid for side plate rigidity
  • Better lid sealing along top side plate edge

So why choose the Tapepro Mud Box Pro over a traditional banjo or automatic taper?

This tool is for the professional contractor who requires the functional features of an automatic taper without the need to invest in a compound pump, gooseneck, and repair kit. 

Benefits over Banjo: Larger capacity, larger tape wheel, crease and cut tape, more reach

Benefits over Automatic Taper: Less parts to maintain or repair, can be filled by hand without a compound pump or gooseneck, easy to clean, no dry tape, can control mud flow

    Tape pro mud box pro (engineering is underwhelming)

    Posted by Josh on Jul 15th 2025

    Wish I had read the other 2 star review, it is spot on. I've been using a normal Delko banjo for many years now. Im a remodeler by trade, not a full time drywall guy. The banjo is great because I can use hot mud, which is why I made the upgrade. After watching many videos, it looked pretty awesome, but im afraid the videos are all paid advertising. This mud box is not engineered well. The handle that controls the inside wheel doesn't lock, causing you to fight the wall and the handle simultaneously. For someone with carpal tunnel, this is a big deal. Secondly, the position of the the straight wheel and corner wheel do not sit in front of the mud box at the right location, causing you to have to go several feet out before making contact. The lack of firmly embedding the tape causes the tape to move significantly. So either you need to pull out extra to compensate, or use a 2nd person, which I never had to do with my old banjo. The location where the tape gets cut is too close to the tool and you have to get your hands muddy and pull a foot or so out every time you start a new seam, sometimes the tape slips back on and you have to open it up and find the tape again. The plastic see through sides are absolutely stupid and false advertising due to the fact that the mud box is 1/8" wider than the tape is, which means you never scrape the sides of the walls to be able to see the mud that's left. This also causes the tape to be forced back into this left over mud when you reload it with new mud. Also, due to the stupid angle you are forced to use due to the handle location, if you aren't running your mud wet enough, it will keep tearing the paper due to the weird angle you have to use it at, in order to bed the tape. The only real benefits of this machine is the extra height due to the arm, and the cutting. But honestly, for the price of this machine, I wish I never purchased it. They act like its the best thing since sliced bread and its had 2 design updates, and its still an under engineered tool that im going to have to fight, for just a tiny bump in productivity because some engineers didn't bother testing this machine in the real world with real world reviews. Im pretty certain 90% of the videos are paid advertising. Overall, I would definitely not recommend this machine until they fix the piece of junk.

    This thing is amazing! I have used banjos for years but this takes it to a whole another level.

    So glad that I made a decision to buy this. Can tape 300 boards in 4 hours. Use all 90 minute mud. Easy to clean and maintain.

    This tool is where it's at. The other taping tools for applying mud and tape at the same time seem a bit complex and maintenance and repair seems a bit more involved than this tool. Clean up and repair on this item look pretty straight forward. Haven't used it yet but looking for in working with it
