TapeTech Xtender Handle Description TapeTech’s new extendable brake handle is the strongest extendable brake handle available. Independent test results available upon request. A new profile lightens the tool while increasing the strength nearly twice as much. The longest extension brake handle available – from 41 inch (1.041m) to 63 inch (1.6m). Brake grip adjuster - adjusts the lever to fit any grip size with a few turns. The extension adjuster is situated for easy actuation without interfering with the operator’s hands. Operation The flat box is controlled by specially designed handles, ranging from 41" to 63", allowing heights of up to 12' to be finished from the floor. The handle is attached to the flat box by sliding the box onto the handle and tightening the wing nuts securely. There are only two adjustments on the flat box handle. First is the set screw in the pivot arm, which may be screwed in or out to adjust the width of the brake locking handle. Next is the aluminum ball on the handle which may be moved up or down the handle to ease operation of the flat finisher. Maintenance Clean thoroughly, after every use, with a brush and water (or a water hose) to remove all joint compound from the tool. Then, after the tool is clean, lightly oil with Bazooka® Oil.
