The TapeBuddy Drywall Tape Dispenser by Buddy Tools is a game-changer for anyone tackling a drywall project. This innovative tool has completely transformed the way I approach taping joints, making the process efficient, clean, and surprisingly enjoyable.One of the most significant advantages of the TapeBuddy is its ability to keep your hands virtually mess-free. While you'll inevitably get a bit dirty, the precision application of joint compound directly onto the tape minimizes the mess on your hands and surrounding surfaces. This feature alone saves you time and frustration, as you won't have to constantly wash up or clean tools.The ease of use is another standout feature. The TapeBuddy's design allows you to effortlessly load the tape and adjust the amount of compound dispensed. With a simple pull, you can apply perfectly measured strips of tape, ensuring a professional finish. The tool's sturdy construction and ergonomic handle make it comfortable to use for extended periods, reducing hand fatigue.

Saw a professional use this on YouTube and he recommended it. I was just about done taping and muddying but had one wall left so I thought I would give it a try. TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!! I really wish I would have had this building out my man cave and it’s super easy to use. Follow the instructions to set it up and make sure you have already filled your seems. When you’re ready to tape, put your tape in curve side up, fill with mud, pull off as much as you need, cut and put it on the wall. I had issues before getting not enough mud behind and had lots of blisters. This puts the right amount of mud on the tape EVERY TIME! Super easy to clean and so glad I have it now. One of the best things I have bought for doing mud and tape. And for the price you’re not breaking the bank to pick it up. Awesome value for the money.

Tried it. Faster with traditional mud/tape. If you don't pull level nearly all mud is scraped off. Didn't realize until the following day fixing blisters

I used to loathe drywall, mostly because of how time-consuming mudding joints and corners is. I had a 90 sheet project to do and after three absurdly pricey quotes from contractors, I decided to do it myself. I was afraid of the learning curve of a banjo, so I bought this instead because of its simplicity. This thing has changed everything. It works flawlessly. I taped all joints and corners in a day using this. The whole project took a week. I saved $1000 per day.I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Well done, TapeBuddy.To anyone at the company who might read this: I suggest offering a sort of hopper extension that slips into the reservoir to reduce the number of refills.

I think this is one of the best new innovations on the market for drywall taping. It is easy to use, does what it is supposed to, is easy to set up and clean and makes taping simple and clean. It also made taping quick and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tool.
