Featuring anodized, thick-wall aluminum tubing, this Compound Tube is designed for rugged performance, professional use, quick disassembly, easy cleanup, and extended service life. Our famous Compound Tube now features a steel applicator tip! This long-lasting applicator tip now has a wider opening, allowing for quicker and easier filling and application, reducing shoulder strain. As before, our applicator tubes also feature a unique twist-and-pull end cap design for easy cleaning and maintenance. Why the applicator tube?

• Highly efficient — applies mud many times faster than by hand, with less effort
• Affordable — fraction of the cost of an auto taper and no pump required
• Lightweight & Ergonomic — when holding it above your head for several hours a day, this makes a huge difference
• Easy to setup and clean — show up and get going–just a couple strokes with water and it’s clean; perfect for small to mid-sized jobs
• Minimal maintenance — no messing around with chains, gears, springs and other intricate parts
• Versatile application — can be used with air-drying or quick-setting joint compound on flats, outside corners, and inside corners, including with Direct Corner Finishers
