Drywall Taping Tools


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.

 

Better-than-ever Super Taper

Super tapers are automatic drywall taping tools made to perform the compound application and joining in one step. All you need to do is attach the device to a standard 5-gallon bucket. The Super Taper will dispense the proper amount of compound to joint tape much more easily and precisely than can be done manually.

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.
