Drywall banjo tools for applying joint type

A tool for applying joint tape to drywall, the tool comprising:

• a base configured to couple to a drywall banjo that dispenses the joint tape;
• an arm including a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the proximal end rotatably coupled to the base to enable the arm to rotate between an extended position and a retracted position, the arm coupled to the body via an axle assembly, wherein the axle assembly includes a keyed shaft and an end cap, wherein the keyed shaft extends through a keyed aperture of the arm to fixedly couple the arm to the keyed shaft, wherein the keyed shaft extends through apertures defined by the base, extends through the keyed aperture defined by the arm, and is received by the end cap to rotatably couple the arm to the base;
• a corner wheel rotatably coupled to the distal end of the arm to enable the corner wheel to apply the joint tape along a corner drywall joint when the arm is in the extended position;
• and
• side wheels rotatably coupled to the base to enable the side wheels to apply the joint tape along a flat drywall joint when the arm is in the retracted position.

A tool for applying joint tape to drywall, the tool comprising:

• a base configured to couple to a drywall banjo that dispenses the joint tape;
• an arm including a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the proximal end configured to rotatably couple to the base to enable the arm to rotate between an extended position and a retracted position, the arm configured to rotatably couple to the base about a first axis;
• a corner wheel configured to rotatably couple to the distal end of the arm to enable the corner wheel to apply the joint tape along a corner drywall joint when the arm is in the extended position;
• and
• side wheels configured to rotatably couple to the base to enable the side wheels to apply the joint tape along a flat drywall joint when the arm is in the retracted position, the side wheels configured to rotatably couple to the base about a second axis that is parallel to and offset from the first axis.
