Overview
LEVEL5’s high performance corner roller enables you to remove air pockets and/or excess compound from behind freshly applied drywall tape with lightning speed.
The LEVEL5 corner roller is built for reliable, daily commercial use. Now beautifully precision-machined from billet aluminum, the corner roller features a new floating stainless steel wheel assembly that beds the tape with a straight, perfect 90 degree angle, even when going over imperfect internal seams. The wheels are mounted using Kevlar-reinforced nylon bearings and Teflon washers for ultra-smooth operation, less drag on the tape, and a long wear life.
A handle is required to use a corner roller. A heavy duty, integrated stainless steel handle attachment mounts the LEVEL5 corner roller to any LEVEL5 fixed length or extendable handle using the required corner finisher/nail spotter head adapter (#4-877).

TIPS & TRICKS
- After applying drywall tape by hand, with a "banjo" taper or automatic taper, the corner roller is utilized to firmly embed the tape within inside corner seams, while squeezing out any excess compound or air pockets.
- Start from the middle of the tape run and roll back and forth (or up and down) towards the corners in wider and wider passes.
- Use firm pressure to ensure the tape beds down tight.
- The result should be a straight, sharp 90 degree corner in the tape with smooth, flat tape flanges on the two opposing walls. Your inside corner is now ready for coating and finishing!
- We recommend you clean your corner roller before the compound dries so that it doesn’t cake inside the rollers.
- Lubricate the rollers with 3-in-1 machine oil before and after you use it.
