The Ultimate Automatic Taper Comparison Guide

Automatic taping tools are changing. Innovations are being made, new materials and manufacturing methods are being developed. It can be difficult to keep up with all of it, and as toolmakers develop entirely new models, its hard to keep track of the differences between the new and the old. How can you know which tool is best for you?

Now, drywall professionals have many options for tools, so it can be difficult to decide which taper is right for you. We can’t tell you which taper to buy, but we can help by comparing them all side-by-side so you’ll know which one to buy, when you’re ready. We made comparison charts for each of the major automatic taper toolmakers and their respective tapers, and we’ve also included a little information about each company, just in case you still need to know more.

Before we get to comparing, we should mention that – in our humble and unbiased opinion – all three companies make reliable, durable tools, have top-level in-house customer service and repair experts, and all have great resources online for use, modification, and repair of their tools. We don’t think that there is a wrong choice, and it comes down to personal preference for the tools.
