Repair Bazooka


Where do you guys go with your bazookas to get them repaired? Or do you do the repair yourself.

Re: Repair Bazooka


I usually do the repairs myself. I'm pretty handy with them. Every few years I send the worst to All-Wall to let them dissect it. They come back very tight-but in working order. I was going to try to send my Columbia to them and hope they make a mistake and send me back an empty box.

I take it you don't especially like your Columbia taper. just try one of the Pro finisher tapers. They are red. That is their best quality. Wow, we tried one on two houses. Bad taper!! I suggested the supplier not sell them they would have too many unhappy tapers. And nobody wants an unhappy taper.

I was just rebuilding my favorite tube today as a matter of fact. I never noticed that it's a TAPEMASTER-any clue about this one?

Will you really fit in a taper box?? I could use a good bazooka man right now. And for only about ten bucks shipping, I could get you here.

Re: Repair Bazooka


Tape Tech is an Ames spin off, but don't know about Tapemaster. I'll look it up and be right back. Hang tight, you 6'2 165 pounder.

Re: Repair Bazooka


The Tapemaster sure looks like a Tape Tech except it is silver and the TT is gold. I bet the parts are interchangeable. They just about all were born from Ames, weren't they?

I'm sure. It's starting to look a little rough around the edges. My wife tried to get me to buy that psycho taper last year. I would have been beat up and left for dead.

I was. Do you remember when they had a hose running from the bucket to the box? It was full of mud and heavy. They rented for an awful lot of money.
