DEWALT Drywall Tools MudShot™ Gas-Pressurized Compound Tube First Look by Drywall Nation

"I can honestly say this is a GAME CHANGER...It's twice as strong as the competition, it holds more mud & it's super easy to use" - @DRYWALLNATION
Website: dewaltdrywall....
The DEWALT MudShot™ is a patent pending, gas-pressurized compound applicator tube that eliminates the strain of manually pushing the compound out of the tool during the traditional finishing process with a corner applicator box.
FASTER than using a corner application box & less trips to the pump.
EASIER to use and easier on the wrists & shoulders.
SMARTER - the MudShot™ is a Money Maker.
Product Features:
- No twisting or trigger for activation! Simply depress the nozzle to initiate flow by applying light force against the tool while it is on the wall.
- High gauge but lightweight aluminum handle tube that has been hard-coat anodized for extreme durability and easy cleaning. Rubber handle sleeve for added comfort. Precision machined female connection for adding optional handle extensions.
- Oversized clear polycarbonate compound chamber that provides outstanding capacity for less trips back to the pump. Premium quality urethane seal.
- Extra strong gas cylinder provides 82lb of pressure - enabling the use of thicker compounds and better flow, while still being easy to fill.
- Stainless steel ball end is compatible with the corner finishing attachments of most leading manufacturers.
- Spring loaded filler mechanism fits all pump filler nozzles.
- Quick release latches for easy disassembly and cleaning.
- Simple design for reliability and easy repair.
- GUARANTEED TOUGH®. DEWALT automatic drywall tools are backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Drywall Mudshot was my name in College.

[@brandonbrown5351]

Looks good but Ames are the one and only real mudd tools.Tapeworm and other companies have tried to reproduce the boxes and bazookas but always seems to be some kind of issues with them. Only question I have is are they as easy to repair as AMES when you catch a screw head with the blade on the boxes or the chain breaks on the head of the bazooka.......

[@gmazz0913]

All that replaces is an auto angle tool, which, on the west coast of USA is the norm. We also use an auto taper, known as a bazooka. They have automatic tools(Tape Tech, etc.)for all the steps in drywall finishing, and the clean up is not hard at all. Most easy coast tapers tape by hand, on the west coast we tape with auto tools all the time except for small repair jobs.

[@bobs6129]

Not sure what you're talking about but people on the East Coast use bazookas too sounds like a bunch of nonsense and this tool for inside corners. It replaces an angle box and is way better no comparison holds more mud takes less pressure

[@capttwitch]

​@@bobs6129he's not wrong is he's in Canada almost nine of us use bazookas lol. And I'll tell ya j can tape. Just as fast Beleive it or not 🤷. I've heard nothing but BAd from this tool leaking, hard to get the mud out Ext. Tbh corner boxes and alm that are junk! They only work in places that are borded very well. Come around here you will just have a huge headache. Use a super taper for inside corners then use a Columbia combo flusher then all you need to do is load. The second coat with a applicator and a tube and a reg flusher and then sand and done! I see guys putting an extra step with all the se fancy tools and theirs absolutely no need lol

[@MegaManMayCry]

I got mine 2 weeks ago and it’s great and faster then doing corners by hand. But the only problem i have with it is it’s hard to pump the mud in. But still great for doing corners

[@davekroske231]

Have you found a way to pump it that's better? It's incredibly hard to pump up

[@michaelvaladez9680]

[@latinprince896]

@@davekroske231 prefill it with water and make sure the entire inside of the tube gets wet and then empty water out and make sure your mud is watered down enough. Thicker mud is harder to pump

Not useless for me. I'm about to drywall a house myself, never done it, need to know what tools there are.

[@joshlewis575]

Dont buy this over priced thing. Get yourself a pan,a 2, a 4, a 6,a 8, and a 10 inch knife just in case. Watch a few videos on here of the pros doing it n you'll knock that house right out.

[@brandonbrown5351]

Don't buy a set of these tools unless you have experience with them. Your best bet would be to hire a tape-bed and texture contractor. Most painters are your best bet. That set of tools will run you upwards of $4500 for the complete set and your only going to use them once. Now if you want to get a set of hand tools you can buy them at home-depot

[@ZooomaCW]

@@brandonbrown5351 Not really for the slightly above average yahoo guy wanting to attempt drywalling himself? Good to know. I still have a lot to look into, not doing anything yet. Thanks.

Can i use the North star 3.5 angle head with it???

[@Ocanadakiter]

I need to push hard on mine. Not sure why ? Oiled it up had mud thined down

[@cl3823]

Still need to be good with hand tools. Only saves time in a commercial application. Not for the typical home owner like the woman trying it out. You might think it’s cheaper than paying someone.....think again.

[@jimyounger9490]

HELL YEAH. I OWN EVERY DEWALT TOOL AND HOW TO USE THEM. LOL. BUT SERIOUSLY , TAPING WAS MY WEAKNESS. I CAN KNIFE AND PAN. NOW I WILL GET DEWALT MUD TOOLS. AWESOME !!

[@MsEasterbrook]

What about closets....can it be made smaller for closets

[@tigahshark]

Its already smaller than a traditional angle box, it looks identical to the mud runner so their is no issues with small closets.

[@josecardenas9312]

Only inconvenience i found on this tool is to hard to pump compared to tapetech mud runner.

[@riding2nowhere]

I want one

[@drinventions9742]

So... how does that help when it’s Not applying the tape,, does it have a tape attachment because if it doesn’t that means you still have to get up there to tape it,,,

[@franccamaj488]

Taping is the 1st step in the process, this tool has nothing to do with taping, that part is left to a banjo or bazooka. This is a finishing tool..

[@kennethwilliams7731]

You tape the angel with a bazooka first! Then you follow that step with this tool ,to cover and finish off the tape! It takes some time to get the feel for the tool,but once you get the touch its super fast!

[@NathW1000]

Do you have to load it with the pump or

[@chriskeel3096]

i like the idea, but the capacity is very lacking considering the cost

[@bobs6129]

Use a tapetech mudrunner, and I would never go back to using an angle box there's no comparison if I could only have one tool for finishing it would be this but the tape tech not the DeWalt. Next would definitely be a bazooka you really don't need the other tools but they're definitely a perk

@@bobs6129 thanks for the reply. I bought the mudshot. It works great and don't need to twist handle like mudrunner. I also run columbia boxes. Will get tapetech or Northstar boxes next time.

[@bobs6129]

You're doing something wrong because you shouldn't have to apply any pressure at all if it works like the mud runner you just twist the handle a little bit in the mud comes out it works like a caulking gun

[@michaelcarson4887]

@@bobs6129 you dont push the handle. Nothing happens with the handle sir. It's all at the head of the mud shot. I'm sure you have seen a lot my friend but tools ate changing. Like at the moment I just got back into finishing on the side. I use to run hockey boxes and things like that. But this go around I am running a compound tube. I actually like it better than my old hockey box.

[@irelandgrt]

Doesn't look like it applies tape. I'll stick to a trowel and paper tape. By the time you get the consistency right, deal with inevitable flow issues and clean the thing out I doubt it's faster.

[@franccamaj488]

If you think doing drywall by hand is faster then automatic drywall tools you should have your head examined.. if you’re taping a closet, sure by hand is quicker, but if it’s a project I’ll have it done 2-3 times faster with a better finish. You don’t even know what your talking about you dinosaur!

[@irelandgrt]

@@franccamaj488 Wow you're pretty passionate about your drywall. I've been on countless job sites and have yet to see one professional drywall person using anything but hand tools unless a texture is involved.

[@franccamaj488]

@@86faST13 I'm not a drywall guy but I am good at it. I've been on countless job sites and have only seen reels, mud, and trowels and the guys who were doing it were crazy fast.
