compatible?

Have a premier 8inch box does a tapetech handle work on them?

Bill from Indy

yes...only handle that is not compatible I believe is tapeworm...tapeworm has to have a tapeworm box, other than that, any handle should fit any box

here's a link someone posted (sorry forgot who)http://www.all-wall.com/ they look good,tools are more about preference,my only advice for boxes is that the wheels run under the mud flow and that they dont stick out past the side of the box .on hot humid days they can leave a indent /line on the outside edge of your joint,looks like your ok with the drywall masters,mine are north stars,so.... just a link where you can compare

indeed if the wheels are under the boxes and runs in the mud it s not too great

do you tink the extendable box handle would be a od buy at 150.00
and i could buy another kind of boxes so far i have seen 35 45 54 60 and 72 if i read right at nearly 150 to 200 each handle so the extendable one would cover them all for $150.00
i aso saw a full new set of automatic taping tools on ebay for 1975.00
its a goldblatt redish color it says all is included in the set

thanks again hfor your help and patience

how much does a bazooka weight when its full of mud?

thanks for your time and patience

fr8train

The weight of a full bazooka depends on the mud you are using. Different muds have different densities. I run a bazooka and boxes all day, and after awhile the bazooka does get heavy.

don't want to confuse you with the wheel thing,it's a old issue that may not exists no more,tools more about preferance these days,you know which is better blond's or burnetts
yes go for the extendable handle,north star makes one of the better ones

TheToolDr

As I think was stated earlier, the Tapeworm brand is the only one with most tools NOT interchangeable with other brands.
When you get ready to purchase a taper (bazooka), make sure you have a compatible gooseneck. Blue Line traditional style tapers have a slightly larger filler valve diameter than most, for example.
Most other brands are easily interchangeable between components of the tool sets.

since i have alway taped by hand and i have some work at the moment
and as you all know when you get to tape a place as soon as you lay
an inch of tape the 1st question they ask you is when are you gonna be finish so i will not have time to practice much till the next job
so i have consider buying the Master Taper tools wich i think are at decent price
the taper for $ 700.00 used
the pump for $ 300.00 new
the 2 adaptors $ 125.00 new
the 10 inc box $ 200.00 used
the 12 inc box $ 150.00 used
extend box handle$ 150.00 used total 1625.00
i aleady own the corner roller and the 3 inch flusher with the extendable handle
they are new i bought them last week

the store selling these articles also repair them so if something ever happend
he will help.
do you think i could get better fot the same amount?
since the store is in my area i will pick them up so there wont be no shipping cost.

michel1949

an other question

by hand i always start with the boutjoint then the flats and the angles
and cover the boutjoints and the nails then fill the beads
is it the same way with the automatic tools


thanks for your patience and help

silverstilts

Nope flats before butt joints on boxing them. If just stringing the tape then I would say yes that way all the ends of the tape are covered over with tape the flat covers the butt the angle covers the end of the flats, just a clean way to tape. Not always necessary but looks more professional also and I think it gives you a much better job.

i bought the bazoka and also an angle box

the seller tod me any angle head would fit

he suggest to get a 2 1/2 and a 3

he said to used the 2 1/2 to fush with and to use the 3 to finish with the angle box..

hes asking $175.00 for the 2 1/2 and $150.00 for the 3 inches
they are both used

does it make sense

thanks for your help

michel1949

what you need all these tools for sounds like your rich already
nail spotter more of a luxury item,or should I say it should be one of the last tools you should get
as for the angel heads its hard to say unless you see them,their one tool that takes a lot of abuse,blades could be worn,then can be fixed up...$$$ try can ams if your a newbie,till you get hang of things...so if your rich...

michel1949

it"s not a matter of being rich but if i am to get something may as well get it all and get over with
it"s like buying a car and wait for the tires
the nail spotter would be for my wife to use this way she wouldn:t need to climb on her little 4 foot scaffold to reach the celing doing them by hand.

another thing i would need is a template to cut the bull nose beads at 90 or 135 degrees angle any idea where i could get some of them and what would be the proper name for that article

thanks in advance for your help and patience
