Tools to help with the toughest job in drywall
Hand taping tool systems
Hand taping tool systems can range in price from $100 to $1000, depending on the size of the job or the durability of the equipment. If you're on a budget, you may consider purchasing used drywall-taping tools such as those offered on Internet auction sites.

Taping and joining are hard to do well. Using the wrong tools can mean repeatedly retaping in an attempt to make a visually pleasing wall. It is because of this you should not look past the initial investment and think of the time and money saved in doing the job right the first time.
