Just to clear things up on the Columbia Taping Tools ownership situation Columbia is still 100% owned by the original owners from 1979 myself being one of them. We are a family run business with a solid foundation and will be making the original Columbia Taping Tools product until there is no market left for drywall taping tools.

As for the Columbia/Marshalltown relationship we do manufacture a separate brand labeled set of tools for the Marshalltown Tool Company that they sell under their brand name.

That's great because the only thing left to buy is one of your new tapers once this old concorde dies or sooner I hope.

Your boxes angle heads and pump work great to date with only little maintenance required.

I've been extremely happy with the finish they been doing for over 10 years of there life and looks like they might last another 10 years


Great tools

Glad to hear this !!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to say, "welcome to the site". I know we drywallers are rough and more than abit unsocialble, however, I for one am SO glad that the tool maufactors are beginning to come on the sites and talk to us (even if we are rude and obnoxious).

You guys have bent over backwards to keep my tools running, even after they were out of warranty. That means EVERYTHING to me. You make GREAT tools, and you back em up, and you go the extra mile to keep em running,,,, GEE even a bunch of hard-ass drywallers ought to appreciate that, I do.

Great tools

Mud, I LOVE my columbia taper, better than my DM or TT. The only thing I would give you a heads up on is the plunger seal, (columbias suck). You will need to order a DM or TT "cup" for your plunger, other than that, you cannot beat a COL taper.

Disclaimer: If you think I'm BS'ing, just try it,,, LOL, you will have to scoop the mud out of the bottom of your tube everytime you fill it.

Just wanted to help set the record straight on this one... Marshalltown by Columbia is being manufacturered by Columbia Taping Tools. When Marshalltown decided to offer an automatic taping tool line, they chose Columbia to manufacturer the tools for them. Wise decision. Make no mistake, Marshalltown did not buy Columbia. Columbia actually makes tools for some of the largest drywall companies out there. If you want Columbia Taping Tools in your company colors and with your own company logo on them... let us know. www.walltools.com 877-WAL-TOOL. Amalgamated... no. The only changes you can expect to see are positive ones.
