Level 5 MiniShot Gas-Assisted Drywall Compound Tube w/ Ext. Handle

The LEVEL5 MiniShot Gas-Assisted Compound Tube enables you to apply drywall finishing compound to walls and ceilings with unprecedented ease and precision.

A lightweight but powerful gas cylinder provides back pressure and enables the MiniShot to move a consistent flow of compound through a wide range of drywall finishing heads. The tool eliminates the strain of manually pushing compound through a traditional corner applicator box.

Activate your MiniShot simply by pressing it against the wall; the nozzle tip will depress to release the flow of compound. No twisting is required! You can even dial in the flow perfectly based on the consistency of your compound using the adjustment nut. The MiniShot is 45.5 inches long and extremely easy and comfortable to use by both left and right handed drywall finishers.

An oversized clear polycarbonate compound chamber enables you to see the amount of compound in the tube at all tims. It also provides outstanding capacity for less trips back to the pump.

For additional reach on high ceilings and walls, MiniShot 18” extensions can be threaded into the base of the handle. Each MiniShot includes one free 18” handle extension ($75 value) bringing the total length of the combo to 63.5 inches.

The LEVEL 5 MiniShot Operation

Preparing the Joint Compound
The Level 5 MiniShot gas assisted compound tube, intended to work with corner, finishers and other types of chop joint compound finishing heads.

Operation
Preparing the joint compound: We suggest starting with a joint compound that is thicker than is typically used for finishing corners. You will then thin this compound down to the consistency somewhere between what you normally use for corner finishers and finishing flat boxes. The final consistency will ultimately depend on your personal preference as well as the brand of joint compound you are using however, you need to ensure it is thin enough to flow effectively through the tool.

Filling your mini shot: To fill the mini shot with joint compound insert the filler valve on the side of the nozzle fully into the discharge tube of your joint compound top. Be sure to hold the mini shot securely against the pump during the filling process; the pressure from pumping will want to force the mini shot off the filler valve if you aren’t holding it for me in place. Continue to pump until the mini shot’s piston is forced all the way back and clear the chamber tube is full of joint compound.
