{"product_id":"asgard-hammer-automatic-taper","title":"Asgard HAMMER Automatic Taper","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Asgard HAMMER Automatic Taper applies paper joint tape and joint compound together in one pass on drywall flat seams, ceilings, and inside corners. The tool meters compound as it moves so crews can tape long runs with consistent coverage, then use the built-in creaser wheel to seat the tape into inside corners before rolling and finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lightweight control tube gives the finisher a direct grip on the cutting action, while the adjustable brake helps keep the taper running smoothly under control. Hard-anodized drive components resist wear and corrosion, the stainless-steel push rod provides a durable drive connection, and the cutting mechanism ends each tape run cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoad the HAMMER from a compatible joint-compound pump through a gooseneck. It accepts standard paper joint tape from 2 1\/16 to 2 1\/8 inches wide, making it the central application tool in an Asgard automatic drywall taping system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsgard offers a more affordable automatic taper for professional contractors building or expanding a production taping setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tt-key-features\" style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.45;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-in-one application:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applies paper tape and joint compound in the same pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.45;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard-anodized drive parts and stainless-steel push rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.45;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable braking supports controlled operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.45;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth tape-cutting mechanism ends each run cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.45;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoading connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fills from a compound pump through a gooseneck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taper meters compound as it moves, independent of travel speed.
