Marshalltown TapeShooter Drywall Taper
The Marshalltown TapeShooter™ Drywall Taper is a professional‑grade banjo‑style taping tool engineered to speed up drywall finishing by applying mud and tape in a single, efficient pass. Built from lightweight aluminum, the TapeShooter is available in both right‑handed and left‑handed models to provide maximum comfort and control for every installer. It is designed to dramatically streamline tape application on walls and ceilings, making it a top choice for contractors seeking clean, consistent, and fast results.
The TapeShooter features a latched door on the tape spool holder, allowing users to reload tape with one hand, significantly reducing downtime. Its precision mud‑flow adjustment system lets finishers finely tune the exact amount of drywall compound applied to the tape, ensuring proper adhesion while eliminating excess mud waste. A DuraSoft® handle —paired with an adjustable web side handle and thumb rest —provides exceptional comfort, stability, and ergonomics, especially during long taping sessions.
Each model comes equipped with a serrated cut‑off blade for clean tape cutting and smooth workflow transitions. With its durable construction, smart features, and user‑focused design, the TapeShooter is one of the most reliable and efficient hand tapers available today.
